what kind of rehabilitation services can they get in jail. should a person be taken seriously if they say that they don't even want to live anymore because they got themselves in trouble again?

They will go to jail for how ever long they still have in their sentence. For example, if your sentenced to seven years probabtion and you've done one year of that term in probation before you break probation, you'll have to pull the remaining six in jail.

It will vary based upon state, and even jurisdiction within the state. For instance, in a rural area - there is probably a smaller jail without much ability to provide rehab services.
That's why, in Virginia, small rural counties often join with their neighboring counties and operate a regional jail - where they can provide more services and have lower operating costs.
The services available at jails may vary widely. Some could have drug rehab, GED training, etc.
When they were released they were given a court document, that said "probation for x years or until x [date]. If they vilolated that, they can serve the time they would have been on probation - while in jail.
Some jail sare overcrowded. SO they will do an early release of epople who have served some time, so they can bring in people starting to serve time. Again, it will vary based upon what is occurring where you live.
Some people will do drastic things to avoid going back to jail. Some people use going to jail as a method to manipulate other people. You have to be careful, cause you never really know which type of person you are dealing with.
Some people will not accept that they are responsible for what they do. They always seem to think they can either talk their way out of the problem or get someone to step in and "bail" them out. The problem with helping them, is as long as this approach works - they will continue to do bad things cause they expect to get away with it.

I recieved best answer before on this same type of question so I'll use the same answer as before.
When you were put on probation you were given a suspended sentence in exchange for probation. If and when you violate the terms and conditions of your probation,(and believe me,alot of people DO!) the most jail time you can do is whatever the Judge sentenced you to do, unless you catch another charge. Texas has a program called (T.A.I.P), Treatment Alternative to Incarceration Program where you enter into a treatment instead of going to jail or prison.
As far as not wanting to live, ( with all due respect man), get off the pity party and onto turning your life around. Just think of it like this: How many poeple have been hurt by what you've done to yourself, or gotten into?, and do you love the poeple you've hurt? Are you prepared to make them endure the worst pain and suffering by ending it all? And again I say with respect, and your right I DON'T KNOW YOU!, but, What did they do to you to but try to help? Why not think of them for a change? why should they have to suffer a loss of a SON, BROTHER, FATHER, UNCLE, or whatever you may be to them? Are you that afraid of failing? Everybody fails at something so in that department your not special. NOW , SUCK IT UP AND GET SOMETHING DONE TO MAKE YOU AND EVERYONE ELSE A WINNER!!!!!

The punishment for a probation violation can vary from state to state depending upon what your local rules are. In most states, the punishment could be an extension of your original probation period, some jail time or execution of the suspended part of your original sentence (ie. if you have 4 years left of probation, you can be ordered to serve whatever is left on that sentence).
Treatment/Education programs also vary from state to state / county to county. Some offer drug treatment or GED / college programs while others do not. If you are sentenced to serve jail time for any significant time period, check into what programs are offered immediately as most have some kind of waiting list that you will need to put your name on in order to participate.
Any threat of suicide is taken seriously by jail/prison staff. If someone is threatening suicide, they are usually given a psychological evaluation and then treated from there. However, I would not suggest threatening suicide as a way to get out of facing your problems. Seek help now.

Normally if you violate your probation you go to jail for the full term of your probation. For example in Texas if you are given five years probation and you serve four years then violate your probation you will be sent to prison for the full five year sentence.
As for rehabilitation yes they have it but you must first want it. As for the not wanting to live anymore comment. I would first check to see what their past psychological history is. If there is no suicide in their past then this may be a momentary act of desperation. If it is then notify you local Police Department so to get him or her detained for a mental evaluation. This would be a good start toward their rehab.

It depends upon the crime and the sentence. Contrary to what many people believe, if you are sentenced to 3 years probation for a crime that is punishable by 10 years in prison, if you violate probation, you can be sentenced to up to 10 years. That doesn't usually happen, but it can.
Regarding the second part of your queston, jail is not rehabilitation, it is punishment. And, it sounds like you are being manipulated. If someone is threatening suicide if they are arrested, they are manipulating you.

once you violate your probation, you face being sentenced to the utmost penalty allowed for the cost to that you've been convicted. once you get arrested for a sparkling value at the same time as on probation, you face a sentence it is the utmost for that value, with the extra probability of serving consecutive sentences - one after the different. The bond is likely for the recent case - if he's were given a "carry" for probation, it is likely he changed into remanded on that - and he's not getting out even if bond is paid on the different case. factors to guage - even if the recent case will flow everywhere, or perhaps if the choose who placed him on probation will violate him or supply him yet another probability. His criminal list, the information of the first case, his age and his list of compliance at the same time as on probation - those are basically different factors which will be considered. solid success.

It also depends on what they did to violate it, for example. If they forgot to check in with their probation officer one time they may get a warning, maybe a month or so in jail. If they did something more serious, they may go to jail for much longer.

Yes, take them very seriously! They could harm themselves or the people around them. I think they go back and finish their original sentence if they are on probation. There are alot of rehab programs... it just depends on if there is room, if the system thinks they can be helped, and how many times they have re offended.
