You will go to jail at first on your probation violation, Depending on your state, some states like GA, have special prisons for those on felony probation violation that hold you pending a court hearing, You can expect to be in jail pending hearing for a couple up to 6 or more weeks.

At the hearing, no one knows what the judge will do, They can of course do the max, which is sentence you to your entire probation time in prison. But this is not normal for your second violation, ** you now have two failed tests if I understand it correctly**

My guess would be 30 days to 90 days in jail, and then back on probation.

First time violated back to court, but your other failure will be used against you at the hearing, So expect to hear about it again
