Would my friend go to jail for probation violation?
If the probation officer violates her probation, she goes back to jail…. It’s pretty much that simple. Usually, they extend probation for new violations but not the existing ones. You would have to look up sentencing guidelines for your state and local area. Usually, probation is controlled by county and parole is controlled by state, so check the appropriate jurisdictional web site for information. Otherwise, you could literally have someone on probation for the rest of their lives if a probation officer could violate for every little thing.
