Best Answer

You were on probation release with 1.5 years to finish. Even though you were released, you returned to visit the jail jail with the intent of introducing contraband into the jail. This act caused you to VOP and, in addition to your VOP, introduciing the contraband was a separate criminal charge for which you were tried, found guilty, and sentenced to 2 additional years.

So-- as I understand it; the VOP returns you to jail to serve out the unexpired 1.5 year term of your original sentence. In addition you were given an additional 2 year sentence for the 'contraband' charge - both sentences to run concurrently.

The original sentence expires in 1.5 years leaving the added contraband charge (which runs concurrently) only an additional 6 months to run after that.

QUESTION: Why do you want have the contraband charge severed from the original sentence? It only gives you 6 more months in jail (for which you should be able to earn some "good" time while you're "in" - if you behave yourself). What's the point?
