    Default Re: What Sentence Can You Get for a Technical Violation of Probation

    If he was sent to prison for that long on a technical violation, it was far from his first violation.

    When you violate your probation you risk being sentenced up to the maximum remaining time in prison allowed on your conviction offense.

    It is probably far too late for your husband to appeal his conviction. I expect that he was given information about appealing his sentence at the time of sentencing.

    Laws and court procedures vary by state.
