FAQ
House arrest (also called home confinement, or electronic monitoring) is a legal measure where a person is required to remain at their residence under supervision, typically as an alternative to imprisonment. The person is confined by the authorities to their residence.
The U.S. Department of Justice defines arrest as “depriving a person of his or her liberty by legal authority.” The U.S. Department of Justice defines jail time/detention as “the act or fact of holding a person in custody; confinement or compulsory delay.” A criminal trial involves two sides.
Following an arrest, the legal process determines whether the person will be charged, tried, and potentially convicted. Convictions: Convictions occur when a person is found guilty of a crime in a court of law. This can happen through a trial, a plea deal, or other legal proceedings.
Usually house arrest is for non-dangerous people who don't pose any kind of threat to the public. This usually is done for drug related charges or DWI/DUI. It is also done if the jail in that specific city is overbooked and they have no room for you.
Unsure what there is to not understand. Prison is cells with many guys, guards, a fence ,food fixed by the prison, access to anything controlled by the prison. House arrest means you need to stay in the house. Your home, no cell mate, no bars. You have a view can have visitors, use the phone ,watch TV.
