    Hello t:

    It depends on what you do to violate probation. If you miss a phone call, they probably won't throw you in jail.. But, if you hit somebody again, you might. I don't know what a judge would do.

    Normally ( but judges can do anything) will not run sentence end on end but run them together, so that would only be a sentence of 2 1/2 years. Then normally if you behave inside you will get a parole date from 1/2 to 3/4 of your sentence, So most likely prison for about 1 3/4 years till you parole out. But those are just what happens sometimes.
