If you were sentenced to probation, you could file a motion with the court for re-consideration of your sentence and request jail time in lieu of the probation. Same goes if you were sentenced to jail-time but would like probation. Either way, the sentencing judge will review your motion and render a decision as to whether he will change it.

∙ 14y agoThe sentence of probation is more likely to help you continue to improve your life with support. Jail time is less likely to do so, even though it may seem quicker and easier at the moment. Follow the path lined up for yourself, and do not put off what you need to do.

What is pobation?
Probation is a chance to remain free (or serve only a short time) given by a judge to a person convicted of a crime instead of being sent to jail or prison, provided the person can be good. Probation is only given under specific court-ordered terms, such as performing public service work, staying away from liquor, paying a fine, maintaining good behavior, getting mental therapy and reporting regularly to a probation officer. Violation of probation terms will usually result in the person being sent to jail for the normal term. Repeat criminals are normally not eligible for probation. Probation is not the same as "parole," which is freedom under certain restrictions given to convicts at the end of their imprisonment.
