A few of my ex's basically call jail home, they've told me that it's easier to be there then to be out here. My most recent ex was there for over a year and when he got out he had no idea what to do with himself. He made friends there, got fed daily and had a place to sleep. He's more scared of being out here in the real world then to be locked up. Like I said, he calls it home.

It actually depends.

If you serve no probation afterwards, staying in jail for 45 days is way better. However with house arrest, after the term is completed, you'll be put back on probation, and well, that's like having one foot in jail anyway.

I'd like to remain a butt virgin.

I am a convicted felon. I have done time in both jail and prison AND I have been under house arrest.

Jail: Jail is bad, but everyone there is in your same situation. Everybody there misses their house, everybody there misses their family and everybody there knows exactly what you are going thru & feeling.

Prison: I stood 45 days in jail, waiting for "room" at the prison. I thought jail was bad and it was, but prison is the major leagues. 100mph fastballs compared to 65mph fastballs. In jail you had normal every day criminals like grand theft auto, marijuana, bank robbery (with a note not a weapon), drunken disorderly, etc. In mufuggin prison, you got rapists, multiple murderers, child molesters, arsonists, etc.

House Arrest: When you are under house arrest, it's the biggest torture of them all. The world keeps going and you can't. Not allowed more then 100' from the base unit (electronic monitoring device connected to the phone). Friends can come over, but they don't because you can't leave. New movie comes out, you can't see it. Take the dog for a walk? Never fucking happen. Mailbox is as far as you can go, unless your mailbox is at the curb. Nobody knows what you are going through. Nobody gives a shit and you feel like you are the living dead. You can see the world, you just can't participate.

Now, don't get me wrong I'll take house arrest over jail any day for a few simple reasons.

1) I get to have a REAL woman sleeping in my bed. I was married when I was given house arrest and I got to sleep with my woman.

2) If you have kids, you get to see them and play with them and be with them and tuck them in or save them from the closet monster.

3) You are allowed to go to work, to doctors appointments, to legal appointments, etc. So because I own my own company I was able to rig my paperowrk so I can work 12 hours a day.

House arrest is better then jail, but it's also torture. I can't explain it if you've never been thru it. Anybody that's been thru it can relate to what I'm talking about.

OH and there are random drug/alcohol tests. Fail and baddabing you go to jail.

^see, that's the sort of insight i was looking for.

now i've never been to jail or under house-arrest, but i feel that people write off the house-arrest as though it were nothing. and, of course, this thread was inspired by paris hilton... it's gonna suck for her having to watch herself get slammed on TV for the next month.

it wouldnt be better to me. I would just serve my house arrest and try not to fuck up. It's a punishment, they wouldn't assign it if it wasn't fun. But it's better than being locked up.

edit: They wouldn't assign it if it was fun.

At least with house arrest, I could use my own bathroom and sleep in my own bed instead of germy ones at the jail. I could at least see my family and pets even if I couldn't go out someplace with them.

So can people who live alone not be put on house arrest, then? This may be a dumb question, but doesn't someone have to bring groceries and supplies in if the house-arrestee can't leave?
