You need to consult an attorney in your city to get accurate
information. However, usually when a person is sent back to
jail during probation, probation is revoked and when
resentencing takes place any time already spent on the revoked
probation is meaningless.

I saw a guy in court once get his 5 year probation revoked
after 4 years and when he was resentenced he got one year jail
and another 5 years probation. You can actually end up doing
10 years on a 5 year felony in some states if your probation
is revoked. Talk to a local attorney if you can afford it.
Good luck!
