If you are violated on your parole, you can be sentenced to the remainder of your original jail sentence.

I you violate parole by absconding or not reporting you will face the rest of the time you owe on your sentence. Retain a good lawyer and surrender before it gets worse, you are probably using drugs and that is why you are not reporting and that is not good decision making.

That depends on the parole agent and the parole board.

That depends on what you were convicted of in the first place. The seriousness of the underlying offense, in large part, dictates what sentence you might receive on a probation violation. If you can provide more details, I can answer your question. What county is this in?

unless there is a new charge, you can only be put in jail or prison for the remainder of parole

Parole violations can carry up to a year. Probation violations can be more depending on the charge the probation is for.
