    zero = zero tolerance for bad behaviour.

    It means that you stepped out of line on some level and it landed you back in jail. This could have been you being late or you sassing your PO, or you committing a crime (like writing on the bathroom wall at your halfway house), or getting into a verbal fight with someone.

    You probably know what you did, but if you don't, ask your PO what it was exactly that got you thrown back in jail. If it was for something like not cleaning your room at the halfway house or for yelling when you stubbed your toe or something really odd, it's best to know for next time so you don't just get chucked back in again.
