Kidderminster Magistrates' Court heard on Wednesday that Ronan Hutchinson had failed to notify the authorities of his change to no fixed abode.
This followed another breach when the 23-year-old had not kept in touch with his supervisor at an arranged appointment on November 8.
Magistrates decided that only a custodial sentence can be justified because of a previous conviction for same offence.
They handed down a custodial sentence of 14 days - seven days for each breach - and suspended it for two months.
Magistrates did not make an order for costs because of Hutchinson's limited ability to pay.
