Depends on too many factors to give you a decent guess. The time is ultimately up to the judge and can be anywhere from no jail to to the maximum allowable time for the offense.

I'm not certain what your question is. Much will depend on the kind of violation and the position of the prosecutor and probation officer. The first step is to try to get her released on bod, or to schedule a quick hearing on the VOP. When probation is revoked, the court can impose any sentence that could have been imposed originally on the defendant at the time of their first sentencing. This means the defendant could be sentenced up to and including the maximum exposure for the original crime. You need to retain counsel ASAP.

Many people mistakenly believe that adjudication withheld means that the charge is gone away, or dismissed, or off your record. This is a mistaken belief, a court can with hold adjudication meaning that no formal conviction is placed on your record.  This does not remove the charge, or mean it was dismissed. The charge is still on your record, and you can be fined and sentenced. The main consideration is that you were not officially convicted of the charge. In a job application you could state you had no conviction for a particular charge, but you could not state that you were never charged with a crime.
