Many offenders believe that probation rather than jail is THE way to go, but probation can be a very tough to thing to adhere to and follow the rules 100%. Sometimes it IS better to just go to jail and get it over with. You can present a petition/motion to the court for "Re-Consideration of Sentence" setting forth your reason(s) for wishing to do so. The judge will review both your case and your motion and render a decision.

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.
