The PO doesn't put you away; the judge does. The PO can arrest for a violation, and then the probationer is taken to court where the judge decides what punishment should be imposed. If this is a parole situation it is a little different, but I read this as pertaining to probation. If the original sentence was suspended, the judge can decide to give the person up to the maximum for the charge(s) on which the person was granted probation, applying the appropriate time credits for any time already served. If a term was "stayed" it is that term which the judge must impose when finding a violation.
