Why might some probation be kept in the same community after a technical violation rather than having their probation revoked?

A technical violation such as testing positive for drugs can usually be addressed by having the offender attend a treatment program. I know by experience if everyone on probation that tested positive for drugs was revoked, 75% of probationers would go to prison. Judges usually wish to exhaust efforts to allow offenders to attend community treatment programs first, including residential treatment, before sending them to prison for drug usage.

It depends on how serious the probation violation is considered to be. Your violation wasn't a repeat of the offense you were on probation for, so it's really up to your probation officer. He can give you a warning and another chance, or he can have you arrested and sent to a hearing where your probation could be revoked, and you would serve out your jail sentence.
