    Say if X was charged with conviction Y and the prison sentence was suspended by the judge, but X would have to be on good behavior for 12 months.

    Relatively soon after, X is caught and convicted of another offence.

    The judge reactivates the suspended prison sentence.


    What is the more technic process. How many times a year does this actually occur?

    Does the convicted person have to be brought back to the original court for the sentence activation?
