    Does she have an attorney? Why has she been on a PV hold for that long?

    She was already sentenced. She was released on probation provided she obeyed certain rules. She apparently failed to adhere to those rules so her probation was revoked. I suspect she has been put back in jail to serve the remainder of her sentence. She might also be facing new charges for whatever offense was considered a probation violation.

    We don't know. She is charge for another crime and waiting for trial. But, she is on PV hold and can't be bail out.

    You have to remember that being released on probation means that they have been sentenced but have been given the option of NOT serving time provided they follow certain ruls. If those rules are not followed, they can go back and serve the time they were sentenced to. We do not allow sentenced prisoners to make bail.

    She can't be bailed out because she violated her probation...
