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 terms parole, probation, and house arrest are often confused. While they are all alternatives to incarceration, there are distinct differences between these forms of sentencing.
House arrest will show up as House arrest. You might be eligible for House Detention after a conviction or plea agreement.
House arrest is restricted to those who are low risk, meaning non-violent, minimum security and usually first-time offenders. The probation department (it is considered a term of probation) must approve it if it is a term of probation, so the request is often denied.
Simply put, house arrest is a type of alternative sentencing that requires you to stay confined in your home for a length of time, but you would be allowed to leave for work, school, or other necessary appointments.
