You were found Guilty. You were sentenced to 5 years in prison. HOWEVER - the prison portion of the sentence is suspended and instead, you are ordered to serve 2 years on probation and ordered to pay $500.00 in re-payment to the victim.

Technically, the sentence is 20 years. The Judge is requiring the Defendant to serve 2 of those years in a penitentiary. After the two years are served, the Defendant is on probation for 5 years. If the terms of the probation are violated, the Defendant has to go back to prison for the 18 years. The terms of probation differ from state to state and county to county.

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.
