In Massachusetts, if you are placed on probation and then found in violation, you can be sentenced up to the maximum sentence provided by law for the offense for which you are on probation. If you were given a suspended sentence, which was suspended on condition of your successful completion of probation, and you are found in violation of your probation, the maximum sentence you can receive is the suspended period of the sentence.
The maximum sentence provided by law for armed robbery is life in prison.
