A: If you have not already been to prison on the case and the offense is a shock probation eligible felony and you get sent to prison because of her probation violation yes you would be eligible to ask for a shock between 30 and 180 days of serving your prison sentence. The sentencing judge on the probation revocation would likely be the same judge that decides your future shock probation motion.
