If you serve the entire time sentenced for a crime that you are convicted of, but then violate your probation, then you should not have to spend any more time in jail nor should you even be on probation.
However, if you do not serve the entirety of the time sentenced, are released from jail, violate your probation, you could end up serving the balance of the time that you were sentenced for.
