My friend is on probation but he was on the run now he has been caught on new charges such as crack guns pills resisting a officer his probation was for five years now he's in Jail and his probation officers is telling him to violate his self
My question to you is what does it mean to violate yourself

Doesn't sound right. Sounds like your friend violated his probation which means he goes to jail, plus what he gets for the new charges.
