If you are on probation for a felony and commit the same crime it is a felony. If you are on probation for a misdemeanor and commit the same crime it usually will be a misdemeanor. The exception is in some States a third misdemeanor offense for the same crime can be prosecuted as a felony. For example Stealing 3rd Offense or third offense for driving while revoked. This differs from state to state.

Is a probation violation a felony or a misdemeanor?

USUALLY a misdemeanor BUT, it can be either. It depends on what the original crime and sentence was. Also: What was the violation that caused the VOP? If it was the committing of a crime, THAT would be a separate offense altogether.


What is the maximum time one can serve for a probation violation in Massachusetts?

This depends on what crime you were originally sentenced to probation for and what level of the trial court it is in. The violation is not what you get sentenced for, you are either found in violation or not found in violation. If you are found in violation you then have a final surrender hearing where your probation can be terminated and you receive the original sentence for the crime were found guilty of or CWOF'd. However, not all probation violations result in time served, depending on the severity of the violation. In a district court you can be sentenced to up to two and a half years for a felony and one year for a misdemeanor.
