My husband is on parole in tn and recieved a rule 12 violation

My husband was out on parole in tn. He recieved a rule 12 violation on his parole for domestic assault and false imprisonment. I have tried to have the charges dropped on him because i didnt want the law involved i just wanted to go our separate ways until he calmed down. The state brought the charges on him and when i begged them not to arrest him or take him to jail. Please tell me how much time he is looking at. He was doing so good and got mixed up with the wrong crowd. He wasn't in his right state of mind at all. We have small children together and they are missing their father really bad.
