When a probation is revoked, the court imposes a new sentence, usually incarceration. The sentence must satisfy the Criminal Punishment Code scoring for “lowest permissible sentence”, calculated after points have been added for the probation violation event. A modification of probation is not a revocation, so there is no CPC (sentencing guidelines) recalculation and withheld adjudication status can often be maintained.
