The sentence depends both on the guidelines of the county in which the offense occurred and personal factors about the case. The impression that you make on the judge, as well as your overall criminal record will play a role in the sentencing.

How do you report someone who is in violation of probation?
The probation officer will investigate and see if there was, in fact, a violation. If he or she believes a violation did occur, then the offender can be arrested, so as to have a court hearing. This hearing usually takes place between the prosecuting attorney, the offender and his attorney, the probation officer, and the judge. After hearing all of the facts and arguments, it is then that a judge decides if the offender's probation will be revoked, and he or she will serve any remaining jail time that was originally suspended.
Will they give probation?
This depends on several factors. 1. Law of the jurisdiction. Some offenses, in some places, are not eligible for probation. In some places, "sentencing guidelines," where offenders get points for various factors about the crime and about their past history, will make probation available, or not available. 2. Past record of the offender. A repeat offender is less likely to get probation. 3. Circumstances of the crime. The worse the circumstances, the less likely is probation. 4. Attitude of the offender. If the offender displays a bad attitude, the less likely is probation. 5. Wishes of the victim. In some cases, the judge will give weight to what the victim of a crime desires. 6. Attitude of the judge. The judge may be one who routinely issues probation, or rarely does. The judge will be the one to weigh the other facts and circumstances, and decide on whether probation is appropriate in this case.

What is the major reason that probationers account for most of all adults in the American corrections system?
If the offender has few or no priors and the crime is non-violent judges will often grant probation to allow the offender to remain in the community and report to a probation officer. Any problems the offender may have that could of contributed to the offense (drug abuse) can be treated in the community. Probation will be tried first before sending someone to prison. Once someone goes to prison for a period of one year or more they are never the same and are more likely to re-offend.
