Home confinement is a legal measure that restricts an individual's movement to their residence. It is often used as an alternative to incarceration for those awaiting trial or serving a sentence for minor offenses. Individuals under home confinement may be monitored through electronic devices, such as ankle bracelets, to ensure compliance with the terms of their confinement. During home confinement, individuals are typically allowed to leave their homes only for specific reasons, such as work, medical appointments, or court appearances. This arrangement aims to balance public safety with the opportunity for rehabilitation, allowing individuals to maintain some level of normalcy while serving their time at home.
