Posts Tagged ‘Home Confinement’

I got a letter in the mail from my dad the other day.

I had asked him when he might be out, on good behavior or whatever they like to call it. We were hoping it would be this month. His response:

“My case manager sent in paperwork the other day, for me to be released to home confinement on July 6th. May not happen because release dates around here are fluid.”

I’m wondering what “home confinement” is going to look like. He is currently in a prison in another state. Will he be in a half-way house in that state? Will he be able to come home? According to an online legal dictionary, home confinement is, “Confinement to one’s home or another specified location instead of incarceration in a jail or prison.” 

I guess I’ll find out when the time comes.
