Forget house arrest. I've been on it for six months and have another six to go, all for selling a harmless plant. I was not allowed any time off for the first four months, then i started college and i get exactly enough time to get to and from class. The worst part i would say is the cost to be on an ankle bracelet.

I'm 16 and I'm on the ankle monitor for failing drug tests and saying forget you to a judge while detained for a six month period.

I'm on house arrest for six months. My probation officer downloads my information every couple of days and it shows me as a little dot on a screen and she just makes sure i don't go anywhere i wasn't supposed to, and if i do then it becomes a violation and i get detained the following monday at drug court and i start drug court over and my 12 months of probation and six months of house arrest starts over.

i think it stinks and honestly sometimes would rather go to jail for three months then be on house arrest for six months.

I got it good! I'm on house arrest for 6-11 months, but i can come outside between the hours of 9:30 a.m.-7:3O p.m. Sunday-Saturday (due to work). I thank god for that freedom!

I managed to take mine off and left it at my house, and they didn't even notice it was removed. that's how much i don't care for the authority, and know ways how to cheat them.

Dear friend, as for your brother and his girl friend's situation.

If you look at it in a positive way, you should support your family member and help them get through this tough time, although I understand that they don't want to do anything for themselves or have consideration for others, but as a member of a family, you and your family should have them in therapy, counseling, etc. Do not kick them out. It will only get worse, unless your and your family want to see your brother end up in prison for more serious crimes or end up at the cemetery.

we all come to this world with a mission. some people are fortunate with a great mission and some with a unfortunate mission like your brother and his girlfriend, along with many other unlucky people, and yes they make poor choices, but we all do something for a reason. everything we do here is for a reason why we're here. it's a mission God gave us to do. some people take the an easy way out, and people like your brother and his girlfriend have to take the hard way out,

they deserve some caring, loving, and a little respect to make them feel like they belong to the family and to the society. If you treat a criminal like a criminal, he/she will end up as a criminal, but if you treat a criminal with kindness and give them a chance to show you that he did make a mistakes but he can change, and give him a chance to make some changes.

Maybe your brother is going through some source of depression, stress, and has no meaning to want to make any progress at the moment, but please believe in me, people were born with a loving heart, their heart is still beating. In their body is real blood, they have feelings, they know what they need to do when the time is great, but we don't want to sit around and wait for them to change, but to provide them with help and treatment.

Your brother and his girlfriend need treatment with counseling, and if they have a drug addiction, they need to get medical treatment for that. Only professional treatment can help them. Playing your own doctor is not going to help. These people won't fall for that.

They need to be treated, and counseling is the best way to convince them to get treatment. However, if you and your family do all the best you can and it doesn't work, the only way to help them is to ask them to move out and to make it on their own, you can only do so much, and you can only help the ones who need and want to get help not the ones who don't want to get help.

With these people you and your family have to be patient, because only you and your family members can help bring them back.

I wish you and your family along with your brother and his girlfriend all the best and I will pray for them and for your family to help them understand the meaning of life and to make a difference to better their life and the people around them. God bless:)

can your 6 year old son visit you when you are under house arrest for hurting another son at 5 weeks old?

I have to do weekends. can I do house arrest instead?

am i allowed to go outside in my front yard?

if i do not have an ankle bracelet, can i go to the store or work

What can one do if one's brother is under house arrest and he has a girlfriend who is moving in with him and she is also a convicted felon? They are going to get married to get around this. They have been forced by my parents to move in with my 91 year old grandmother instead of living with my parents who have plenty of room. My grandmother pays her bills except rent and cannot afford to pay the extra bills they will make. My dad owns my grandmothers house and my worthless brother has nowhere else to live. My parents have been supporting both of these low lifes for 21/2 years. My grandmother is so upset and so am I. They refuse to do anything else. My older brother and I have offered to buy them a trailer to park on my parents land but my father refuses. My parents are about as trashy as my worthless brother. Help!

Can you be on the ankle moniter if you don't have a landline phone?
