How to Remove a House Arrest Bracelet
How to remove house arrest bracelet in just a few easy steps.
If you want to remove a house arrest bracelet then there are a few things to consider first. Removing it is an offense that breaks your parole and will easily put you back in prison. Things gotta be pretty desperate if you’re reading this and need to remove that anklet. So here’s a few questions I ask a guy I know who’s currently doing 90 days (as of writing this):
Here’s a Q and A on house arrest bracelets
Q: What is House Arrest?
A: House Arrest limits an offender’s movement within the community through electronic monitoring. House Arrest encompasses a philosophy of home detention, and strict accountability for any movement of the offender within the community, as approved by the Court or House Arrest office. House Arrest is used in lieu of incarceration in a State prison or County jail.
Q: Have you ever taken your house arrest anklet off? and how?
A: haha Well since you’re not using my name here, I have been able to remove it to go swimming. I was told by my P.O. not to get it wet. I believed him but he’s a dick anyways and is probably lying to me. So what I did was slide under it a steel rod about 2 feet long. Then I twisted it until the rivets or button things popped off. I totally panicked when I saw that but at least it was off. I then had someone goto a tailor and get the same kind of leather rivets and reinserted them.
Q: Who can be on House Arrest?
A: Any individual who is either pre or post conviction may be supervised by electronic monitoring, through legal assignment of a Court or Probation / Parole Officer. Cases supervised include offenders from the District Court, various municipalities, as a condition of bond, per the written directive of a Probation or Parole Officer, and via the Conditional Release program of the Johnson County Residential Center.
Q: How long does House Arrest last?
A: The length of House Arrest supervision is determined by the sentencing Court or entity. Sentences range from one day to an indefinite period. Typical terms of House Arrest supervision range from 30 to 90 days in length.
Q: What equipment is used to electronically monitor an offender?
Monitoring Equipment A: House Arrest utilizes electronic monitoring equipment (see image on right), installed in an offender’s residence, to verify each offender’s compliance. This equipment is used via phone lines, and serves several functions. Random computer generated phone calls to the offender’s residence provides the House Arrest department with a photographic response, a voice response, and a breath sample to ensure the offender is not using / abusing alcohol. The photographic response is recorded, verifying the offender is in their residence, as scheduled.
Q: Do offenders have equipment strapped to their body?
A: In some circumstances offenders are required to wear a tamper proof ankle bracelet, which electronically communicates with their home monitoring unit. This ankle bracelet notifies House Arrest any time the offender exits without authorization, and continuously confirms the offender’s presence within the residence. Ankle bracelets are utilized to strictly reduce offender movement, in conjunction with the photographic, voice, and breath response.
Q: What activities are offenders on House Arrest allowed to do?
A: Dependant upon Court orders, some offenders are strictly restricted to their residence, while others are allowed to maintain employment and approved activities. These activities would include educational programming, probation and parole meetings, drug testing, substance abuse and mental health treatment, and religious services. All movement must be scheduled and approved in advance, by the assigned House Arrest Officer.
Q: How is schedule compliance verified?
A: Each offender must meet weekly with their assigned House Arrest Officer to create a written schedule of movement for the week. Upon each weekly meeting, the offender must provide proof of their compliance via pay stubs, work schedules, receipts, verification cards, etc. House Arrest Officers maintain a high level of contact with offender employers and treatment providers to verify compliance, and complete random community compliance checks on each offender, at their residence or place of employment.
Q: What happens when someone violates his or her House Arrest?
A: When an offender can not be located, a four-hour non-compliance procedure is initiated. During this four-hour period many steps are taken to locate the offender, including a residence check by local law enforcement, manual calls to the offender’s residence and employment, and contact of the offenders listed emergency contact. If the client can not be located that offender is declared Absent Without Leave (AWOL). In all District Court cases, a warrant request is immediately completed, and filed with the Sheriff’s Department. With Municipal and Parole offenders, the referring Municipality or Parole Officer is notified immediately, and those individual entities initiate their revocation proceedings When violations occur and the offender’s whereabouts are known, a wide variety of sanctions can be imposed, up to and including the arrest and detention of the offender.
Q: Are offenders under House Arrest supervision tested for drug use?
A: Yes I have. Each offender receives a breath analysis each time the monitoring equipment contacts them at their residence. Each offender is also required to submit to frequent and random urinalyses testing, to ensure they are maintaining a drug free lifestyle. Drug testing is increased in cases of noncompliance, upon behavioral concerns, or when reasonable belief exists that the offender is possible using illegal drugs.
Q: What does House Arrest cost?
A: The cost of House Arrest supervision is incurred by the offender. Each offender is required to pay a daily monitoring fee of $12. Increase fees apply for individuals living outside the local calling area. Each offender is also required to pay for frequent random drug testing.

Just eat some lsd a strong for of weed. LOL
I have not seen nor heard from my PO once in 8 weeks since I was initially set up. He told me he wouldn’t see me until the day he comes to take it off unless I gave him reason to. So mine is not a hard-ass at all, he is actually quite the opposite. From talking with others, most get randomly tested and there’s really no rhyme or reason to when their guys show up or decide to test them. I would just go with the fact that they could at any moment test you and you’re SOL if they nab you. They are hard asses up front but can’t wait for you to f@#% up. I think they have an immediate orgasm when they catch you doing something you’re not supposed to be doing and the ultimate nut bust when they get to arrest you – don’t give them that gratification. Let them rub one off on their own
Omg Tara ! That Is So The truth! And Funny as Sh!t….
Hey Hold-On
I actually don’t have PO…….when they sentenced me to the house arrest they wiped out my remaining probation so i have a monitor assigned to me, which i guess is pretty much the same thing. I report to a “monitor” instead. I actually called the jail that i am on house arrest out of to find out about whether or not good time applied to house arrest as well as regular prisoners and they pretty much have to tell you their rules on that! worth a try anyways……call the jail or prison that you are out of.
Getting close now!!!
kari
3 and a half months to go and just tryin to keep busy. havent been on the sight for a while cuz ive been workin so much but lookin forward to the 46 hours of over time for this week alone . but onto a new note my PO isnt much of a hardass either but does watch me pretty closely. all that he asks from me is to be accountable so if i ever have to leave outside of my scheduled times all i have to do is call his office and tell him or leave a message or text him on his cell. just not to long ago he took me off of once a week random drug tests and now i only have 2 a month and he always calls me ahead of time to let me know if he is coming to my house. isee there are a couple of new folks on here, hello to you all. good luck guito.
also wild im sorry for wat your having to go through with your trouble of not being able to see your sick relatives, it really sucks i know how it is. my grandfather seems to be hangin in there pretty good lately so thats good. oh yea Fly3 congrats on the new job man stack that $crilla. and for katie wat house arrest system are you on? im on the homeguard200 and it doesnt detect alcohol.

word, thanx fly
Hey guys, im about to be put on house arrest in a few days now.. I just got off the phone with my PO. He said something about paying for the fee in advance. Is that true? Because if it is there is no way in hell i can come up with 3k in a couple days.
no when i got put on HA they told me that i would be put on a payment plan to pay the bill monthly. they evaluated my income and saw after all bills are paid that i dont have much money left so they said they will have me pay a dollar a day instead of 3.50 a day. ive been on it for 3 months now and havent seen a billsince they put this shit on me!! for them to think that someone can just pull 3k outta their ass whenever is bullshit, i think their just tryin to make shit hard on u. ask them about a payment plan.
wat r they gonna do throw u in prison for not having 3 G’s, fuck them.
When I got put on, I had to pay all up front, 5k to be exact, or I was going to have to set in jail until someone came with the $25/day for the remainder of time I was to serve…I had 180 days at $25/day + a 500 set up fee. I pulled a few strings and had the $ but most don’t and end up going in for some time. It all depends on the state/county you’re in.
damn where u from?
Kentucky. Two of my friends got sentenced to 6 months and had to serve theirs in jail. Not what sense does that make? Taxpayers dollars at work at jail now…
OK I WAS SCHEDULED TO BE ON HOUSE ARREST FOR 45 TO 60 DAYS THAT TIME HAS PASSED ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO AND THEY STILL HAVENT TOOK OFF MY BRACLET MY P.O KEEPS SAYING THE PEOPLE ON VACATION AND STUFF LIKE THAT SO SHE A PUSH IT BACK N BACK ITS ABOUT TO BE ALMOST A EXTRA MONTH I DONE DID ON IT IDK WHA TI SHOULD DO
in my case the PO has the authority to shorten as well as lengthen the HA period. they should be able to just call the monitoring company and take u off the system and then just cut that thing off u. you should call your attorney or the judge. they cant just keep you on just because, 60 days is 60 days no more no less. im not a lawyer but that seems to be a violation of your rights on their part. check it out.
My monitor told me that at 7 am on August 17th, I was done, to cut it off and take the machine and bracelet up to the courthouse, get a reciept and be on my way. That sucks that you’re done and still hanging there. Mine will be off at 7 am on the DOT.
Be4 being put on House Arrest for 50 dayz, I was a very optimistic person, I am only allowed to attend work, and school. my probation officer tells me to find a new hobbie that dosn’t involve doing drugs. F THAT.
NOW thats what im sayin f$%k em
well no doubt doin drugs was always my favorite hobby… that and sex, haha. try this stuff called K2 its legal gets you fucked up and doesnt come out on a piss test. sold in some smoke shops or just google K2 and order online. im just stickin to the brew for the next 4 years till im free…and shrooms… and K2.. and maybe some sid……….and duster. just kidding……….or am I?
Wow ur pretty crazy 2 b doing any of that on house arrest dude.
MAN EVERYTIME I CALL TO CHECK UP ON IT MY P.O TELLS ME THAT SHE DIDNT GET TO TALK TO THE PEOPLE YET AND I DO NOT SEE MY P.O TILL THURSDAY WHICH WILL MAKE IT ALMOST A WHOLE MONTH I BEEN ON HERE THAT I W ASNT SUPPOSE TO I WAS THINKING OF CALLING A LAWYER AND ASKING THEM OR CALL MY P.O SUPERVISOR MAN I WANT TO CUT THIS OFF SO BAD I DO NOT EVEN GET WEEKENDS OUT I ONLY GET TO STAY OUT TILL 5 ON WEEKDAYS AND I GET OFF WORK AT 4
D_NIQUE I would do a number of things. First, I would locate my paperwork with the sentencing and any receipts you have collected from paying for HA/and fines. Then, contact your lawyer or public defender that represented you and explain the situation. That person should contact the judge’s office. Although, I would call the judge’s office as well and at least leave a message explaining your situation. It would be a shame if you are or have to pay for HA when you sentence is over. Next, I would contact the PO and ask who his/her immediate supervisor is and that you would like to speak with them. You could just contact the office and ask for a supervisor without talking with the PO to avoid any potential conflict. I would do this on a daily basis until it was resolved. This is your rite and if you have already served your sentence there is no reason for them to keep you on HA unless you haven’t paid the fines associated specifically with HA. Then you may be in some additional trouble. Remember these people will sit on their ass and ignore the situation until you get more aggressive about the situation. I have less than 30 days now and you better believe I will have this thing off that day! I think the biggest issue here may be costs and fines otherwise that PO would be in deep shit if they were dealing with me. Having lawyer friends is always a good thing if you can put up with them.
you really gotta call everyone you can. it sounds like theyre just jerking u around.
i just want to know how i can leave without the knowing
there is no way to do that. impossible.
THANKS THATS WHAT EVERY 1 IS SAYING I BE TEMPTED TO CUT IT OFF BUT AFRAID I MIGHT GO BACK TO JAIL
Do they continue to monitor you? Maybe the bracelet is still on, but they have ceased their monitoring. They should have. Im in Southern California, Sentinel is the company that monitors me. If I were in this position, I would contact my case manager at Sentinal. Of course I will in daily contact a week before I am supposed to have it taken off. It will be a daily count down, and my case manager will be sick of hearing from me by the time “the day” comes…..
I got 4 months. Ive done 2. I am in recovery, so it really isnt that big of a deal. I go to meetings every night (approved by p.o.) I have a curfew of 10:00. Sometimes my meetings are hard to get back from in time, and I have been sweated by my case manager about being late, but I never talk to the Probration Officer assigned to me. I am on informal probation, so I dont have a regular p.o., but I do have a pretty cool guy in charge of my case in the home detention section of the probation department. My case manager asks for any special concerns for me. For instance, I have two torn rotatar cuffs that require therapy, I have a personal trainer that helps me with that. So I got a letter from my Doctor saying that i needed to go to the gym, and now I go to the gym.
I find that everything is a lot easier and better now that i dont have to worry about testing. I can test anytime anywhere for anyone. I am free! Its funny, havenet been arrested since I got sober either! I found activly using drugs and alcohol to be much more of a prison than anything the authorities could do to me. My addiction would tell me when to jump and when I could come down. I can get pulled over, have talks with cops, whatever. Nothing they can do. Im no longer breaking the law by doing illegal drugs or drunk driving, or shoplifting to buy drugs. Like I said, Im free. I highly recomend it. But I know everyone will keep doing what they do until they feel that prison, so have fun while you can. It does turn on you.
Now,insofar as your problem with the “over time”. Find out is they are still monitoring you. DO NOT PAY THEM ANOTHER DIME. Go to court and ask for an order of the court to have the monitoring stopped. Here in So. cAl. I can go to the court house by 9:00 and ask to be put on calendar regarding my case. (I had 16 of them when I got sober) When you get the court date, go and tell the judge whats going on. You have paid your debt to society. This might be double jeapardy, of some kind, Id have to look it up, I graduated from law school, but no license to practice. But none of this is hard to look up on the web. Good luck.
IF YOU HAVE YOUR SENTENCING PAPERS CONTACT THE JUGE AND TELL HIM YOUR SITUATION
for sure the jude a lawyer or both need to be called asap
check this out i called my PO one time and told him i had to do a side job which he allows me to do, he scheduled it for me, but instead of working i took my kids the museum and to a birthday party for their little cousin. then had my buddy write me a check from the business he owns made a copy to send to the PO as proof of me working then deposited it then withdrew the cash and gave it back to him. thats one way to get a day off for those of you who are wondering how. be careful though and just cuz it worked for me doesnt make it a good idea. be very careful.
Hi everyone! Hope everyone is well. Where has the Krafty1 been? Doesn’t look like he/she has posted in a long time. Does anyone know if perhaps their HA is over?
D’nique…what is happening to you is really, really bull shit. I would go straigt to the judge that sentenced you to see what they can do. Your story is scaring the hell out of me because I don’t want to be on this damned thing a single day more than I am sentenced to be on. Not even one.
Remember everyone…when today is over, we are one day closer to FREEDOM! I love that word.
Hol
IF YOUR TIME IS UP THEN TEY SHOULDN’T STILL BE MONITORING YOU, I GET OFF ON A SUNDAY PO SAID I COULD LEAVE AT NOON , THEN WHER IT TIL I HOOK UP THEM TO GET IT CUT OFF. (MINES NOT A GPS)
from wat i hear from others who complete their time thats wat they say too. either the PO says just cut it off that day and return it or they go to their office to get it cut off.
Hey there everyone.
what up Hold-on.
I totally screwed myself and I drank this weekend and I blew dirty on Saturday and on Sunday mornings and didn’t do the second test so they are going to know I had been drinking the nights before because I didn’t do the retests so I am pretty sure that I am screwed.
I haven’t heard from my case manager yet but I am sure he will call me soon or when I go in to see him next week I will have a Sheriff waiting to take me in for violating and I just don’t know what to do.
We just lost my nephew to suicide and our house is just a mess and everyone is just going nuts and work is so busy that I can’t keep up so I work overtime from home and it has just been too much for me to handle
If things go the way I think they are I won’t be on here for a while and I will be going to jail and serving my entire sentence.
I was so good too and had been sober for almost a year but there was beer at the house and everyone was drinking and I thought I would have one or two and I ended up getting the old screw it attitude that got me into this mess in the first place.
I know what I am supposed to do and I know what I am not supposed to do and my life has such a huge impact on my family because they can’t survive without my income so I just ruined everything for me and my family.
My sister and her husband are getting ready to divorce because of my nephews suicide and it is so hard to live with two people that set the tone at the house so I totally blew it and I just wanted everyone to know that 1 drink can lead to 5 and then to 8 and then your screwed so I thought I could get around the system and I played with fire and I just totally burnt myself.
I am a total loser and a selfish ass and I just didn’t think of the consequences at the time but now I am just about to jump out of my skin.
When I go to jail I lose everything.
I lose my job and my vehicle and everything I have worked so hard to keep through this whole ordeal and I just blew it in one weekend of saying screw it.
I just wanted to let everyone know that we are all in the same boat and I am lucky enough to have a little time left to reflect and have some freedom before everything goes to hell and so I just wanted to share with everyone that it just isn’t worth it to try to beat the system.
House Arrest is such a gift and I knew that it is and I knew what I had at risk and I totally let my family and myself down.
Please don’t make the same mistake I made everyone.
I don’t wish this on anyone and I hope that anyone thinking they can get around the breathalyzer or the ankle bracelet or other monitoring equipment to not even try.
It just isn’t worth it unless you like being in jail.
I hate that place and I have been there and the prebooking was a big reminder of what it is like and I just pushed it out of my head and made up a reason to justify drinking and pissed it all away.
I hope that everyone here does their time and gets off with no problems and moves on with their lives and doesn’t have to go through anything like this again.
I am sorry to the people on this board that were so supportive and believed in me that I could do this and get through it and I let you all down.
take it from me, no matter what the reason is in the end you are the one who will be rotting in Jail and that is no place that anyone wants to be.
Good luck to everyone and I wish you all a easy sentence and that it goes by fast and without any problems and don’t do what they want you to do which is give them a reason to keep you in the system, and make more money off of us.
Good luck to everyone and god bless everyone and I truly hope that someone will take away something from this and not make the same mistake I just did.
I will write you all if I don’t get violated and I am still out next week and if you don’t see me on the board again you will know why and I really hope that doesn’t happen.
I am such a total loser.
Don’t be like me.
TheUnKrafty1
That sucks ….. You could try the mouthwash excuses… Or just tell them you broke down and need help with your addiction. I will pray for you Krafty1 !
damn krafty im sorry bout all that. i kinda push my luck alot as well, that post really gots me thinkin about cutting my shit till im done. 3 more months, fuck it im gonna stop.
You’re not alone…it’s called addiction and so many of us are just a drop away from blowing things too. It’s so unfortunate that we’re dealing with the punitive side of addiction and not the “lovey-dovey-warm-n-fuzzy” side you get in rehab. Every addict – yes EVERY one – does fall off at some point in recovery and the sobering thought is this: Yes, this may have a temporary kick in stomach feeling to you with many repercussions for a long time…but…you’ve got a few things you may wish to consider.
1: Call your po and report it yourself ask permission to attend a few AA meetings this week in addition to any you may have already been scheduled for. Tell him the things you are dealing with lately have made you entirely more vulnerable and you need the extra support. Being proactive always is a HUGE bonus.
2: Call your attorney and warn him of the potential lock-up (you will get booked and bail set for your violation date so at least you will have a quick “get-in, get-out” even if it’s only a temporary “get-out.”)
3: I wouldn’t lie…seriously, addicts are notorious liars, PO’s can smell a rat even if you are totally innocent…they will assume you were up to something. Besides…mouthwash with any alcohol is strictly prohibited for use. Back to #1: Be proactive, call him/her with a very honest, straight-forward, remorseful attitude and perhaps that will buy their sympathy. Remind them of your pressures/stress.
4) If you feel you MUST try to get out of this with a lie, you could say you’ve been on the NyQuil like crazy the past few days because of a bad cold. You totally forgot that the alcohol content was so high in it and that you had used it every night in the middle of the night but that this weekend your cough was so bad you just took it every 4 hours like the bottle said. Cough a little when talking to him and be sure to have a close to empty bottle (some are alcohol free so be sure it’s not alcohol free) sitting around the house. Acknowledge you will never do it again.
I’m praying for you!
Tara, you are ahead of the game if you do as you have written. It is hard kickin the habit and being clean. second by second is what it takes. It is really cool if you have someone to leanon that really knows how to help and support you and not lay on the BS. Life does get better, and no one said it will be easy.
I’ll keep you and all others trying to be clean in my prayers.
As “Oulu” in “Fifty First Dates” said “You can Doooooo it”!
Hang tough.
Michael, I’m by no means ahead of the game. I, too, have had issues with substances (alcohol, specifically) and being on house arrest has kicked that. What’s to happen when I get out of here – well, not even I know that. I know if someone brought a 5th of Kettle One in here today it would be gone tomorrow
Therefore, I don’t ask for it and all that know me, know I can’t have it so they don’t bring it.
Krafty, I’m not gonna sugar coat it, it seems you are in a tight spot. I do have to commend you though, one of the biggest things about counseling is cognitive therapy and it seems to have worked seeing you have put your family and other matters at the forefront of all this. Congrats, even if you did or didn’t do therapy. I would be proactive about this and contact all parties this will impact. Definately, contact your lawyer and get advice from them whether good or bad. Also, and probably the most important, contact your PO and explain the situation. Come up with a game plan, maybe you need to find another place to finish your HA. I believe in honesty, but there are certain times and situations in our life when the truth will just do exponentially more harm the help. We all have skeletons in our closets, so enough to fill the Smithsonian! On that note, the NyQuil story sounds good, just tell them you have been takin to the face the past few days just to sleep for 2 hours at a time. Good luck! We are all pulling for you. Always remember, even though things are bad, they can always be worse. That’s what I tell myself.
you are not a loser. You are an alcoholic who relapsed. Its part of your disease. Get back on the horse. Go to meetings do the deal, do everything recovery. You may get another chance if it looks like you really want to change. Its the only way to true freedon for people like us.
Get into action. YOU ARE NOT A LOSER!
MAN IM SORRY TO HEAR THAT AND I CALLED MY P.OS SUPERVISOR AND SHE IS LETTING ME OFF THURSDAY MY P.O WAS TRYNA SCREW SAID I HAVE TO MAKE SOME MORE PAYMENTS BUT HER SUPERVISOR SAID NO I CAN GET OFF BEFORE THAT SO I AM HAPPY AS EVER THANKS FOR THE ADVICE
Damn. Krafty1…I just read your post. I can’t even begin to tell you how much I feel for you. I am actually sick to my stomach for you. The worst thing is the anticipation and not knowing about what is going to come of all of this. I will pray for you too. We are all responsible for our own sobriety. You didn’t let anyone here down and, I for one am still behind you. You don’t loose respect when something like this happens, you gain it when people watch how you behave and pull yourself back up when things are at their worst. You have a big decision about whether telling the truth will be the best thing or not. Some believe that the truth is always best but I bet they were never on HA…LOL. I don’t know how feasible that mouthwash thing is but I do know that some mouthwashes are over 10% alcohol which is much higher than any local beer. Had you just rinsed your mouth out with it, you would definitely blow positive. I remember reading a post in here a while ago about that happening. Maybe re-read that post and conjure up a story. If it saves you having to do hard time, it’s worth it. If you get away with this, you need to remember exactly how you are feeling now. That will be the best deterrent from drinking again because no one will be harder on you than you are being on yourself. Take care friend. I’ll be thining about you.
And remember all…when today is over, we are one day closer to freedom and I LOVE that word! (Yeah, even you Krafty1…LOL).

Can 2 people be on house arrest in the same house at the same time
i know they wouldnt allow me to do that, im not even allowed to talk to any other person convicted of a crime. if i do and they find out i go straight back to prison.
Yay! I have finally been given a the date for my parole hearing. I go on the 29th of this month and hopefully it will be good news! I have no violations and have followed all of their demands to the T, only thing is i heard it is better if i had a job, but who is going to hire me with house arrest hanging over me. I have a computer degree, and offices aren’t really interested in criminals. That will be my reasoning, i need to get off so i can get a job! Pray for me……5 months of this is enough……would be sweet to get a break on the last 4 months! Hang in there all!
yea im hopin for at least 1 month off myself. good luck findin some work, it definitely makes the time go by faster.
by the way nice to c u back on the post. good luck jakesobsession.
i dont know if this passed nationwide but here in new mexico they are having employers beside the private sector take off the “have you ever been convicted ” section of applications for work. this is good since checking yes on that question is usually a one way trip to the trash for your application. now EVERYBODY has a chance.
Thanks the rza…….. I usually read everyday, take in everything you guys have to say, alot of good advice on here! I live in hickville, so everyone knows your business whether it is on an application or not, somebody knows somebody who knows someone else LOL! Thanks for the well wishes, will let everyone know what happens or doesnt happen! Good luck all! We need to have like a HA reunion when we are all off……..I vote for one of your towns though, would love to go to CA!!!!! Could use a tan after all of this house time! lol
Hi Everyone! Hope everyone is having a good weekend so far.
Rza…that is excellent news for those who are still seeking jobs. I live in Pennsylvania and haven’t heard anything about it here. I hope it will apply here as well.
Jayna…I don’t know about that 2 people on house arrest at the same time. I think it could work but you would have to have a seperate and dedicated phone line for each. Not sure what type of system you have. Maybe email the manufacturer of the unit and ask them. They should be able to tell you whether it would be possible.
Jakesobsession…You are in a tough spot. I wonder though if you could use your degree to get a job in “the system”. By that I mean to punitive system and courts. They would already know your history and there is a need for that kind of education in everything these days. I feel for you though. I was made permanent at my job about a week before my HA began. When it happened, I had to tell them. They were okay with it but I doubt that they were pleased. I was lucky, the timing just worked out so I am very thankful. I will pray that you find something soon.
Okay…so…No Krafty1? That can’t be good. If he/she isn’t incarcerated, I hope they would at least let us know that things are okay. Krafty1…If you are there…please let us know. Praying for you.
Hold-on
yea my probation officer told me that the probation and parole department here has job placement for people who need work and have certain qualifications and degrees but also have felonies that make it difficult to find work on their own. i also became permanent in my job shortly before my sentencing date which is one of the reasons im not rotting in prison. however my employer knew the situation even before they hired me but hired me anyway and even wrote a letter to the judge for me when sentencing came around, i love my job ill hopefully retire from it by age 43.
and then i hope to open my own tattoo parlor!!!!!!!!!!!
HOLD-ON WHAT PART OF THE COMMUNIST STATE OF PA. YOU FROM ?
Hey there everyone.
I don’t know what my fait is yet.
I called yesterday to get approval for a haircut and I called the main monitoring center last week to have them send down a test I issued from being at DUI class and they didn’t say anything so I can only hope that I get a pass and warning this time and I will never drink again.
Even after I am off of this if I get through it without going to jail I am not drinking again.
It has done nothing but caused pain and suffering for my family and for me so i hope that everyone is doing great and I am just waiting to see how they deal with me on my appointment next week.
Still no warrants or new charges yet on the court sites so either it hasn’t been processed or it isn’t going to happen.
All i can do is hope and pray.
Thank you one ad all for the support and well wishes and this site has renewed my faith in people and not everyone is out for their own and just looking to talk trash and laugh at others problems and mistakes.
I will write everyone as soon as I get home if I get to come home after my appointment later in the week so by Friday you will either hear from me on here or I will not be free and in jail so thanks again everyone and good luck to all of you and I hope that everyone gets off without any problems and never has to go through anything like this ever again.
I know I do hope for that for my self.
Take care and I will write on Thursday or Friday if I can and I am free.

Hi Treerat! I live in Pittsburgh in the GREAT state of Pennsyvania. And where abouts are you?
Hol
Krafty1…The next thing is a review hearing this week? Is that right? What’s the date for it? If you don’t get in trouble, you better get your butt on here that day and let us know that you are okay. I am serious! I’ll be worried until we hear from you next.
Hol
outside of philly (HATBORO)I CALL IT THE COMMUNIST STATE BECAUSE IT HAS SO MANY BACKWARDS AND FUCKED UP LAWS AND RULES
Hey there Hold-on and everyone else.
I will let everyone know on Friday if I am still free.
I have to go this week for the every two week payment appointment and paperwork appointment so I dont know what will happen or what they will do.
I am seriously worried and scared but I did this to myslef and I have to face the music.
Wish me luck.
TheKrafty1
GOOD LUCK KRAFTY, IM HOPIN ALL GOES WELL FOR U ESE.
LMAO Treerat. I understand completely. I have been to Philly a couple of time. Love that town.
Hol
Hold-on wish Krafty1 the VERY BEST LUCK possible for Friday!
Where do you live Krafty? What time is your hearing on Friday? I want to read a post from you by the time I am done working that day so we know you’re alright.
I have a good feeling about it. I think you are going to get away with it. I really do.
Hold-on
Ithink ur gonna b good too Krafty, hope to c a post from u friday brotha
im on house arrest but the judge didn’t give me an ancle bracelet so i get to leave when ever i want haha but alll the cops in my town know me so if a cop pulls me over im fucked
thats wierd. id dare to say that your not on HA if u dont have a bracelet on ur ankle. i didnt have mine put on till a couple weeks after my sentencing day.
I would have to agree rza…….i didnt get mine for a couple of weeks either, gave me time to set up a phone line and such!
The judge didn’t give me mine either. I had to leave the court room and go to a whole other county (where I live) and get mine placed there. You should probably call and see what the orders say on the judgement.
Tara-I was reading your posts about the 5k you had to put up and you say you live in KY. I also live in KY and I’m on House Arrest not Home Incarceration. There are two different programs. HA is no ankle bracelet and HI is with a ankle bracelet. I’m on the honor system and sentenced to 10 months after being forced to plead to assault by extreme emotional disturbance. I got into it with a drug dealer who was assaulting my son. The cops took the DD side and the case lingered for 3 years. The DD is still plying his trade and someday he will answer for what he did. The judge was on my side but due to a lot of extenuating circumstances he was forced to give me HA. He is a good judge, and he knew what is going on within the legal system. I know that Home Incarcerees around here pay 80 a week. Southern KY.
I guess each county is different. In my county its 25/day and others its 8-12 a day. We’re the highest in the state – I have no idea why?
Thanks rza and hold-on,
I can’t tell everyone how much I appreciate the support and replies especially because I did this to myself and I feel like I kind of deserve what they do to me if they violate me because I knew what I was risking by drinking and so thanks again you all and hit me up on my personal email if you feel comfortable emailing me there.
I am very nervous of posting too much info on this site about my name and personal info.
email me at my email at thekrafty1@ live .com and I will email you back with my info so you can know as soon as I get out of my appointment in a few days.
I look forward to getting your email Hold-on and rza I will post and let you know on the day I get out if I walk out free so just know that I would never post this and cry to everyone about my screw up and then not tell everyone what happened.
Thanks again and I will let you all know when I am done.
if they do kick me off of the program I have just wasted 6 months and have to do the whole time in jail from scratch so it would have been a total waste and I would just be devastated but I made my bed and will have to lay in it.
thanks again and I am sorry to the rest of you who don’t care and don’t want to keep seeming my posts.

Getting more and more nervous about my parole hearing on Thursday! I have actually made a list of all the things i want to say so I don’t forget anything positive. My monitor sent a letter on my behalf so that was really nice of her! Keeping my fingers crossed, keeping them crossed for you too Krafty!
Jakesobsession
HEY KRAFTY GOOD LUCK
Well, I have returned from my parole hearing. I was scheduled to go in at 9:30am, but was still waiting at noon, and finally got my hearing about a quarter after. She said she would hesitantly recommend parole, which is the good part, the bad part is that it still has to go to a parole commisioner to sign off on, and then they will notify the jail that it was approved. So i wait for that who knows how long, once the jail is notified they will notify MD parole and probation who will then file for me to be transferred to PA parole since I live in Pa and not in MD. So i wait more…. then once that is approved, they will give me a date to come back down to MD and return my equipment and be released. However PA doesnt have to accept me………and parole hearing lady said that all of this paperwork could very well take me up to my actual release date of July 30! So what was the freaking point? Mixed emotions now, don’t know what to think! Guess just hope that paperwork is faster than she is making it sound!
Sorry to be a bummer! I will quit complaining now….just had higher hopes than i should have! Still thinking of u Krafty1!

hey Jakesobsession.
Thanks for the lind posts and I know what the waiting game is like but like everyone told me, you just have to stay positive and things will work out.
I know you will get approved and then on your way to getting off of HA and Parole.

Hey everyone. Just did a lot of reading and have a few questions that you maybe able to answer.
I will be starting on house arrest in the next month and there are a few things I am wondering.
First I was told I need to have Long distance enabled on the phone line I have setup. Does anyone know long or how often this box is going to be making long distance phone calls?
Another thing, Can your schedule change from week to week or does it have to be the same thing for the whole HA period?
Also this doesn’t have anything to do with HA, but Wondering maybe you guys would be in the same boat. Is anyone in PA, know if getting drug charges is a guarantee to lose your drivers license.
Thanks
Adubs yes from pa. what part you from?
Yes to what?
I am around NEPA area.
BTW your I don’t like your Name, a tree rat is what got me in trouble.
I am no expert in PA by any means but I don’t think losing your driver’s license is a given in any state for a drug charge by itself. However…if you were charged with driving under the influence of drugs I do believe it is almost universal that you will lose it for a certain amount of time. In KY, it’s 30 days for a 1st and 1 year for a 2nd. It really depends on the charge and the conviction though. I mean if it was just a possession charge or attempt to purchase/distribute, I doubt that will affect your license.
Good Luck!
Here’s the deal in PA. If you are convicted of a DUI you will more than likely lose you license. If it is your first offense it is usually 90 days. That being said, PA also will “rate” your offense on a scale or BAC. What I mean is PA courts will discipline you based off the offense and how drunk or impaired you were.
Let me rewind. DUI in PA can result from drinking alcohol, using illegal OR legal prescription drugs or huffing glue or some other crazy shit you can find in your garage or shed. If you are on prescription pain killers, anxiety meds, tranquilizers or others that can be used to alleviate pain, calm you down, help you sleep etc. and you are driving erratically, you can and probably will get a DUI. PA courts are all over it because it brings in the cash and they can use it to pay judges, DAs, counselors and all others that can reach their hand into your pocket because you decided to drive. Pharmacies and doctors cover their ass by putting a tiny sticker on the side of the bottle telling you to not operate machinery while on meds. The vast majority of people in PA and most likely all of society fits into one category or another that requires some kind of medication including those who point the finger. I guarantee the people that busted and prosecuted us more than likely have worse problems than many of us and use their power as a crutch to justify their incompetencies not to mention shield themselves and their families from trouble as well. Tax dollars pay these people, but we pay them twice by paying taxes and fines from the court.
After all of this is processed PennDOT controls your license suspension. The license suspension is separate from the court system although they work very closely together. So, the short answer to the question is if you are committed of DUI in PA, whether it is from drugs or alcohol, you will probably lose your license. Although, if your BAC was Tier 1 and you show cooperation by proactively seeking counseling and pay fines in a timely manner the judge may be lenient let you off easily. If you had a possession conviction or something that did NOT involve you operating a piece of machinery like a car, bulldozer, lawnmower or even a bicycle (yes, you read it correctly – they all can result in a DUI, even caring for your lawn and relaxing or pedaling down the spine of the Appalachians) then I think you will be alright.
Sorry for the long message, but I think it is important to inform everybody about how seriously money hungry the “system” has become!
don’t know how a squirrel got you in trouble, butin pa. almost any thing you get in trouble for anymore will cost you your driving privileges especially if your under 21yrs. old
Hey guys,
I’m currently doing house arrest with Sentinel in Orange County, CA. I was drug tested initially when I started the program, and I’m positive it came up positive for THC. I told them I smoke weed regularly, and they told me to stop.
Am I going to be drug tested again? I just want to know if it’s safe to smoke. Also, I’m a medical marijuana patient. Anyone know if that has any standing with house arrest and the courts?
I appreciate any advice and comments.
Thanks guys
you will most definitely be tested again especially if u came up dirty the last test but as far as i know if you have a prescription for weed the courts cant stop u from using it just like if u had a script for vicodin or percocet. at least not over here in new mexico thats the way it is. you should talk to your lawyer about it, im pretty sure if the state is what prosecuted then it should be fine, not to sure on how federal would take it since its still illegal federally with or without a script for the buds.
adubs so you can change your schedule weekly, at least i can. usually i need to send them my work schedule and they will enter it. once i was on HA for about 3 weeks they told me i can have off from 8 to 12 a.m. on saturday mornings for what they call sustinance leave so i can go shopping or take care of whatever. after about a month or two they started allowing me to attend family gatherings and stuff as long as i gave them 3 days advanced notice but i cant stay out late and they only give me 2 to 4 hours. sometimes they will have me bring proof of where i was for example i went to my brothers wedding yesterday and they had me bring a note from the priest saying i was there from what time till what time on this date for this reason etc etc. i have to bring notes from my boss to if i have to work late, of course i call to let my PO i am working late before i stay past my scheduled time. in my case ive noticed that as long as i do good and be repectful, punctual, honest and consistant than im not given any grief by my PO and they start giving you more slack to do other stuff instead of always being home.
wow RZA, you have a picnic going on compared to most!! I havent left the house except for a parole hearing in over a month! I am ONLY allowed to go to medical appointments and that is it! I have never had any violations or even been one minute late from an appt! I am not even allowed to go to my kids school for parent teacher conferences! I wish i could attend a family event or even go to church! You are definately lucky!! I put a chair right outside my front door on the deck and did venture successfully right outside my front door but that is it! Guess it must vary state by state! Gonna move to New Mexico and tell Maryland to piss off!!! LOL
yea ive heard from several people that i have it pretty easy considering i am on federal electronic monitoring. just this last month alone i have gone to like 4 family outings and have been allowed to work late and leave early almost every day plus i get 4 hours to do whatever i want on saturdays so it has been pretty easy. still they have me with this ankle bracelet even though the only time im home is to sleep at night it seems because i work so much. it kinda makes no sense. on top of all this i dont have to pay for my monitoring or my counseling or my drug testing!! the feds are picking up the whole tab!! dont know how it happened this way but it did. im allowed to go outside as long as i stay on my property, the only place im not allowed any more is on my driveway cuz im out of range there. my PO has also told me if i ever wanna start goin to church just to tell him and he will give me 3 hours for that too!! new mexico has been known to be pretty leniant on punishment especially crimes associated with marijuana, keep in mind that i was charged with manufacturing 2,000,000 dollars of marijuana on their estimate. new mexico is pretty harsh on DWI however, first offenders get jail time, an ignition interlock, 3 years suspension from driving and sometimes their car is also siezed and auctioned off!!! and the court costs and interlock charges equal well over 2000 bucks. my charges havent taken a cent outta my pocket.
Hey Duke.
I am on Sentinel in OC Ca also.
I have DUI Classes with a youngster who tested positive for THC on his initial and had a script.
They told him he could start the program and to not smoke anymore and they would test him again randomly after a month and he only had to do 60 or 90 days and he got off without a second test.
It is all about being truthful and respectful.
I have had a couple of dirty breath tests and they luckily haven’t said anything about them.
I am way lucky and I am not messing around because the deal is they don’t want to do any more work than they have to.
They can see at a glance if your equipment is functioning properly but they actually have to dig into see your GPS records and your breath tests.
If you are on time and pay them you may be ok but if you are on for drugs then they will test you again.
If you are on for non drug related then they may not like the guy in my class.
My PO told me when she called me to say I was accepted that I could take prescriptions but not weed.
those were her exact words.
Prescription medications except for Marijuana.
If I were you I would not smoke until you are off.
Then blaze all you want.
Let me know how it goes.
Good luck and hey RZA and Hold-ON.
I hope everyone is doing great.
4 days and a wake
Hey I am just wondering total who much house arrest costs? I have a friend who has a court hearing for his second dui and he really doesnt want to do jail, but he doesnt know if he can afford house arrest. What are you guys paying to do house arrest in total and how long are you on house arrest? Thank!
It totally depends on your state/county. My state (KY) differs by county – my county its $25/day and the next county over its $10/day. I think on average most places its more like $10-$15 per day.
I forgot to mention I am in Orange County, California.
my probation is federal out of albuquerque, new mexico. i havent paid nothing cuz they just dont bill me but it costs about 3.50 a day here, just not for me……YIPEEEEEE. i cant believe its 25 a day in KY, thats just ridiculous, thats equal to a minor coke habit or a heavy alcohol habit. how would i be able to get my coke and beer? just kidding…….about the coke anyway……or am i??? hahahahahaha
WATUP KRAFTY!!!!!!!!!
montgomery county pa. cost $10.00′s a day good luck to every one 3 days to freedom and in the words of hold-on I love that word
I got me 10 weeks til freedom, wish i had a time machine…..or maybe just some good pot!!!

Sup RZA.
All seems to be cool with HA and I am still free.
Well I guess as free as I can be.
How are you holding up?
Hold-on,

I am not complaining.
I am stoked if you are off though.
RZA,
Hit me up and let me know what is going on with you.
I will talk to you all alter.
Take it easy and be good.

TheKrafty1
9 WEEKS TO GO, ON THE HOME STRETCH MUTHAPHUKKKAS. WAY SIKED! HOPE I DONT VIOLATE, WISH ME LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I live in NM. I was looking around on the internet and I have never been on HA, but my ex was just put on one. He is serving this out for harassing and stalking me and my family. From reading these comments, I learned alot about the subject. I would not want to be in any of your guys shoes. I hope you get off or maybe you are already off. Anyways, I just wanted to wish you luck.
SUCK ME, BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!LOL………..JK.
done at 12:00 05/16/10 see ya !
freedom feels good
Signed papers on Friday because they APPROVED my release on parole!! They said paperwork and everything should be done by May 27th and I can report to the jail and have this thing removed!!!! Not getting too excited till I am on my way to the appt.!!! Who am i kidding, im super excited……will keep ya all posted! How ya doing RZA, havent heard from ya in a while! Krafty……best of luck and continue to be good ( i know you will!)
Well ladies and gents, I have made it. They came and cut me free this morning. My 90 days pales in comparison to some others, but anything over 1 month makes you realize how valuable freedom really is. As with many of you I have had many ups and down throughout my time on HA and some really shitty things have happened to my family and myself. Since I have gotten myself into trouble I have been laid off work, paid around 10 Gs in costs and fines, a horrific disease has infiltrated my family, I can’t get assistance from the county for healthcare, I am paying out the gills for insurance and I have to file a new claim for unemployment and run the risk of losing it all together. Not to mention I have lost my license for 18 mos. and need to get an ignition interlock which will cost more money. All of this has taken its toll on myself and my family. I really don’t think things can possibly get much worse. But, I have made it over this first hurdle. I have to recover, i have four mouths to feed and need to man up and whip the shit out of anything that gets in my way. I know I haven’t written much on this thread, but just reading is as good as writing. Most of the time my points were expressed by someone else before I had a chance to write. This tells me you are all good people and aside of the occasional jack ass everybody means well here. Good luck to everybody and I will still be around for any questions addressing what follows HA. Hopefully, I can be an asset to all of you in regards to post-HA living.
FYI – I am on my final week of P90X and plan to start round 2. Anybody bored and stuck in their homes without work like I was, exercising gets out stress and aggression. The program was just right since both the exercise duration and HA lasted for 90 days.
Keep up the good work everybody! I call in to my new PO on Friday, so I will have more info. for everybody then. Late!
Congrats CCarlo…it sounds like you’re both relieved yet over-burdened. You’re so right that this is just the 1st of many hurdles to have to jump. Keep thinking positively or…well…you know what landed us all here so no lectures on my part.
I am just over 1/2 of my 180 days and ready to start counting the number of swirls on the damn patterned rug I have. I never dreamed this would be such a pain in the ass!!! BUT, I do realize the benefits of this over the nasty jail cell I could have been thrown in.
Keep on Keepin’ on y’all!
it is not wat we do in this life that defines us.. wat defines us is how well we rise after we have fallen. keep it up carlo. nothin can hold us down. not even “the man”!!!
I am down to my last 80 days or less.
I cant believe I have done almost 200 days and now I just hope and pray I can keep everything together these last two and a half months.
Thanks to everyone for all of the helpful replies and comments.
I hope for everyone to get off of their HA as soon as possible.
Good luck everyone and I will let you all know how things are as I get closer to August..
Joe, thekrafty1
My thought of the day…just had to share.
After over 90 days locked in my home, I find myself going stir-crazy. All we have to do is watch want we want on TV, play on the internet, talk on the phone, prepare our own meals, see our families as they collectively wish to pop on by, wear what we choose to wear, put on make-up and use our own shampoos, play with our children and help them with their homework more than we ever did as “free” individuals, our best friends (my dogs) snuggled with me on the sofa as I watch my Lifetime movie of the week (lol), oh! and don’t forget we can still have sex!!!! What the hell am I bitching about??? None of those aforementioned things could be done in our alternative placements – the POKIE! So I will STFU and quit the bitching.
Hope you all are having a great week. Celebrate hump day with a little humping…Smile!
AAAAAAAHAHAAAAHAAAHAHAHA………..I LOVE HUMPING>>>AND WEED….. I LOVE THEM BOTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
House Arrest BLOWS…… Not really I love eatin what I want, Smokin my self a cigg after I eat a good meal, Workin, not gettin orders Barked at me by some lil punk that thinks hes a man now cause he wears a badge!!, and most of all not havin to smell someone else bust ass!!!! Im in vegas and have…………six and a half months left!
Oh yea Sex..Sex is a great part of H/A… I got put in the hole last time i tried 2 have sex in The Pokie……J/K
try being on this shit in new york state!! this shit is crazy….. my felony probation officer is a dick too!! lmaaooo shits crazyy in rochester ny… but fuck it thoo…. the best thing to do is sell that green stuff out the house and have maad friends over and have a few beers and relax with the ladies in the jicuzie…. if i didnt have a biig house i prolly wouldve been cut this peice of shit off.
Sup everyone.
I just wanted to say hello and I am still hanging on so hopefully I will have a good appointment with my house arrest case manager tomorrow.
I haven’t heard from him so I have to assume that everything is fine so I just wanted to say hello and tell everyone that I hope everyone is good and your house arrest is going good.
Take care ya all and I will check in after my appointment tomorrow and let you all know if I make it home.
If not it will be a long 270 days in OCJ but I played with fire and got burnt and I am making no bones about it.
I am responsible for my own House Arrest program and I am the one who ruined it so I will be the one paying for it in jail instead of at home like I should have been able to if I would have not drank and so I am not blaming anyone but myself.
I have been good but it may be too little too late.
So I will hit ya all up tomorrow if I am able to.
If not I will talk to you all in 6 to 9 months when I get released.
Take care you all and don’t make the same mistakes I did and think you can beat the system.
It isn’t worth it.
well I am out.
Peace.
whats up crafty? U still free & whatnot?
Whats up everybody. Ive been on house arrest for a long time now….
Hey guys,
I’m using Sentinel in OC. I smoked pot last week and I’m worried that they’ll test me. I came up positive for THC on the initial test 45 days ago. I was thinking since they just want to see that my THC levels have lowered that it would be okay.
Any experiences with drug testing with Sentinel in Orange County?
My offense was not drug related. In the 45 days on it I have not been drug tested again and I’m just worried I will get tested again soon.
Weed is easy to pass ,just drink a gallon of water b4 you go check in . Piss two to three times after you drink the water. Your body will process the water so fast it wont have time to get any thc in the sample.
this house arrest shit is bullshit. everyone who is in here for weed i feel sorry for you. shits bout to get legalized and were paying out the ass for it… GOD BLESS AMERICA!
What up everyone.
I am still here.
I am so ready for this to be over.
Aug 8th and I am free.
I hope everyone is doing great and hangiong in there.
On the Sentinel and drug testing questions.,
I had a guy in my DUI Class that was positive and they let him on and said that he would get tested randomly during his 60 days.
He got off without being tested.
I dont know if they will ever get bored and do it just to waist t6ime but from what I have seen they dont want to lose the money or put in any extra work so you should not smoke anymore and you will be all right.
That happend in OC Ca with Sentinel in Santa Ana.
Good luck.
I will write more when I have time leter on.
Thanks for all of the nice comments and support.
I will talk to you all later.
Krafty.
Thanks for the responses,
So today I was tested for the first time after my initial test at Sentinel. It’s been about 45 days and the test was random.
My THC levels are definitely lower now than they are when I was initially tested, so I feel somewhat not as anxious as I would be.
My question is:
Do you think a higher than expected level of THC will trigger being kicked out of the program? How strict are they?
If they say they suspect that I’m using marijuana I will just confess and say yes I smoked a joint a week ago and it was stupid, it won’t happen again.
I don’t want to be taken to jail for something small like this, and my reason tells me they won’t trip over a small violation especially since I’ve been highly compliant so far.
Anyone have any experiences or anecdotes that may help? I’m trying to get some peace of mind.
Up until the first test I was a daily smoker and after that I didn’t smoke for almost 40 days, and then smoked for a few days, so I’m thinking my new levels will be low compared to my usually high THC levels even though I did smoke.
They told me they want to see the THC levels go down, but by how much?
Thanks in advance and take care out there guys
Ive been in almost 4 months now and haven’t been tested once (but I’m in for something absolutely RI-TARDED…but aren’t we all, lol) I’ve got 2 months left. My guy said he wouldn’t see me unless I jumped ship and left without permission OR I gave him reason to believe I was doing something stupid. My paperwork did say however, that they could test me at anytime and one positive for ANY substance would be a guaranteed invite to the clink. Is it really worth it? I mean…I’m not an addict (I like my drinks out on the boat every other weekend but that’s the extent of any sunstances for me) so I don’t really know how hard it is to just say “no” because I’ve not been in that situation.
hey guys ima newby well not at house arrest ive been on for six months got one more year! bs huh. anyways yall seem really cool and funny i ddint read anything cause it was a lot but i will be posted..u guys do give great advice its like a house arrest little community thing yall got here…haha

Do u guys have the omnilink one that u have to plug in for three hours a day???
hey all,,, getin my bracelet off tomorrow at 9am.. this message board has been a help whether your writing on it or just reading it for other stories to know that you are not in the same boat.. just want everyone to keep on keeping on…. and soon enough it will come off.. good luck to everyone
Y’all are all a bunch of fucking losers
sooo does this make u a loser too since ur taking ur time to reply?
yea i think it does in my opinion.
No, I have a loser friend who is too stupid to listen to people who have enough sense to conduct themselves in a manner that doesn’t get them arrested. I was persuing this forum to get some insight into how those monitor bracelets work.
watever fag, why dont you just stay the fuck out of here
look at this loser is back to justify calling everyone a loser when he probably doesnt know his elbow from his ass. hmmm back again, pretty sure your the loser since u r not on house arrest and still has nothing better to do but come on to this site. well u know wat they say, takes one to know one.
get a life BW
i agree RZA this human must not have anything to do or no friends cause BW is obviously coming on this site to communicate with us…umm BW get some friends and leave us”losers”
The whole “I got a friend” is such BS. We’re all on here because we did something stupid (got caught!!!) but aren’t too stupid to deny it. Own what you did BW, don’t blame it on a friend. If my friend had a monitoring bracelet on, I wouldn’t be on line looking to see how it works.
right this idiot obviously had to do a search on how to remove a house arrest bracelet to find this site so definitely a bunch of BS. maybe thats wat he should call himself, BS instead of BW. maybe his dumbass missed the S and hit the W.
B Dub is a bitch
lmfao that shit literally made me laugh how u said maybe he missed the S and hit the W. i looked down at my keyboard and maybe he did miss it,their right next to each other.haha funny shit. hey btw do you guys know if your allowed to move to another state once u finish house arrest??? wheni was in court the judge said yea but my po is such a douche i dont know…what do u guys think?
The problem with you guys is u’r so used to bullshitting your PO and yourselves as well as one another, you can’t accept that anyone could possibly tell the truth. My friend learned his lesson in jail, he said, however the lesson he learned was, he needed to change the line of bullshit he gave his PO when they let him back out for the 3d time.
Well, he thought he could break the seal on his ankle bracelet and take it off when he wanted to leave his apartment, leaving it under a stream of hot water and they wouldn’t know the difference. His story to the PO was going to be that he slipped at work and the bracelet was torn off. Long story short, he’s back in jail because apparently they didn’t buy his BS.
RZA, hang that soap around your neck!
ha good one farva. hey BS just stay off the sight, obviously no one cares wat u have to say about anything. say wat u want, this will be the last response im gonna take the time to give u. i have better things to do with 10 seconds of my life than waste it it on u.
Bend over, RZA
yo rza havent been here for a few minutes…lol ok or maybe a month…hoiws everyone?…i didnt have time to read the rest but sopunds like theres some new recruits….peaceout homies
Does anyone know if tanning beds will screw up the ankle bracelet. I’m nervous about and but don’t to ask the monitoring company.
** I’m nervous about it and I don’t want to ask the monitoring company.
No, a tanning bed will not hurt the braclet. Water should not be a factor either. It depends on the “type” of braclet you have, some monitor for drug usage, some for booze and a few for both. There can be, under certain conditons, false positives. A blood test will clear up a false positive. If and when a person is shown to have “used” the PPM requirement drops to a base of one part per million as a base. When the first test is done, they look for anything over a specific limit: some places allow 100 parts per million before warning bells and flashing lights go off.
Do not, under any circumstances, believe anything you see on TV. It is not true. Do not listen to others, the myths out there are plenty and none are true. Do what your probation/parole officer tells you to do; and they are the best ones to answer questions for you. Don’t be afraid to ask them about a tanning bed …. it is your time, your dime.
fukkk HA, wats up every body im back. jbone,tara,krafty,carlo,jakes obsession and fly 3 hit me up foooos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Where have ya been RZA??
Really, where ya been??? Hope nothing bad happened to ya, but it is great that you are back anyways!! Write soon and let us know what up!!
Filed for a revision of my sentence , waiting to hear the bad news
cause that is usually what i get! Bullshit i got parolled and they wont let me go because i reside out of state, should have been off on May 27!! They could have told me that before i went through all the bull shit of a parole hearing, not like they dont know that i live out of state, i am on house arrest for gods sake!
Anyways, hope to hear from ya rza!!
Me
no nothin bad happened just picked up a bunch of new work, im a landscaper on my spare time away from my full time job at the pool. id much rather be makin money and stayin busy instead of being stuck at home. by the timeim home its so late i just go to bed justto get up 6 hours later and head out again, im kind of a workaholic. that sucks about all that crap jakesobsession im sorry u gotta go through all that, those dumbasses should really get their shit together. hey tara do i have u on facebook?
No, I’m on there…let me know how I look you up?
What up rza! Looks like you only got about a month and a half left. Good to see ya keepin busy. I’ve been off HA for about a month now, but I am still on probation. I am still gonna follow the straight line and not violate any way shape or form. I was told if I am all paid up and complete everything I was sentenced to do, which I have, I can get off in half time. That puts me into Jan 11. Don’t know if I can make it that long 100% clean. My new PO seems descent enough, I think I am gonna ask this monthly call in if I can get off early. Shit, if I can get off early I’m gonna plant my ass on the couch, send the kids to the grandparents for the night and take it to the face for about 12 hrs. My new motto, never drink at family events and rarely go into public and consume to sloppiness. It sounds boring, but I don’t think being a homedrunk has ever gotten anybody in trouble with our WONDERFUL law enforcement.
I have been on this house arrest bullshit for 3 months, i am so ready to get off it.. I got 2 dirty UAs for pot. and my po put me in rehab for 21 days and now i gotta complete this house arrest. also they are making me take a tour of a prison. Pretty much all i get to do is go to work and go to my outpatient drug classes.. How long does this usually last??
How long is your house arrest for? I imagine that 21 days in rehab didn’t count and they will just tack that 21 days on to your sentence.
I dont know know how long i gotta be on it,, I see my po on friday so hopefully she takes me off it
Well Im still here, and still wearing my jewelry around my ankle,, I saw my p.o. friday, she said we would discuss me getting off it on the 23 of july,, so i guess i will see then,, but other than that she is letting me get out of the house on the weekends,so that is a good thing..
You will never guess what happened!! Got a call yesterday at 8am that the judge approved my sentence revision and suspended the remainder of my sentence!!!! Took my equipment back down and I AM FREE!!!! Spent last night with a bonfire, and lots and lots of BEER!!!! Couldnt believe it! It feels so strange not to have that bracelet on my ankle, almost like i am missing something, but trust me i do not miss it! Good luck to all, hope good news is ahead for all of ya! I will keep in touch with all of you, you have been a blessing the last 7 months!
For all you dad’s uot there, Happy Father’s Day! Make the most of it given the circumstances. And instead of thinking about how miserable it is to be sitting in the house on a beautiful day when you could be out with your kids (as I started to on Mother’s day), just be thankful you’re not in the clink awaiting the chance they may be coming to see you through a glass barrier and talking on the jail phone. I hope you all get the chance to see your kids with the freedom that HA lets us.
Enjoy the day!
hey tara, so look me up on face book. ray lopez and my email is therza.2666@yahoo.com, everyone hit me up, just tell me who u r so i accept u.
wassup everyone to all tht tries to beat the system there is no way possible unless you let your lights or phone get cut thts the only way possible tht i can think of but it sucks for me cause im on house arrest until i have to go to court and tht can be a year ffrom now who knows and its getting on my nerves
man that sucks, when i got put on they told me that if i fail to keep my electricity and phone from getting disconnected they would count that as a violation.
Hey there all.
I just wanted to check in and see how everyone is getting along.
So I have 225 down and 45 days left to go.
I didn’t think I would make it to be honest.
I am not a screw up but 270 days was and is a long ass time to never be late or have anything to drink or smoke weed but I pushed the envelope and I didn’t get burned yet.
thank god they didn’t arrest me for the three dirty breath tests I blew.
that was almost 3 and a half months ago.
RZA, jakesobsession, Tara and everyone else who has been so nice and supportive thank you so much for everything and if I forgot anyone’s name I apologize.
I really want to thank everyone on this board for never judging or talking trash on me for the long posts and questions I asked over and over again.
I know now that there are a lot of good citizens that have been through similar situations a nd never thought they would be arrested let alone go to jail so I am glad we all got the alternative and got on House Arrest.
Also thank you very much Ken Savage for this board.
It is the only one in existence that I have found so thanks for this.
Anyways, take care everyone and I will let you all know how everything goes.
Thekrafty1
45 days is nothing compared to what you have already done! Keep it up, freedom is worth being good for! Love ya all, you have all been so great and a wealth of information and support!
4 more weeks!!! im thinkin of askin to get off early for not messin up. on my sentencing papers the court gave my PO the authority to shorten my HA time. but then i still got 3 and a half years probation, shitty!!!
sad face 
Hey RZA !! Worked for me! If you read my earlier post, i wrote to the judge and got off a month and a half early!!! It is definately worth a try! Stay strong all!
oh yea hang in there krafty dont do nothin till u r off. its not worth it.
I AM A MINOR ON HOUSE ARREST.
HOW MUC TIME WOULD I DO
IF I LEAVE HOME DETENTION???
Omar, don’t do it. I’m pretty sure as a minor you will go into lock-up as long, if not longer than what your house arrest sentence is. For example, I am on 6 months house arrest – but I was facing 364 days in county jail. If I violate HA, I go to 364 days in county jail with no credit for the almost 5 months I have already done on house arrest. And as for disconnecting the phone – oldest trick in the book – they will see straight through that one. Just tough it out.
ALRIGHT THANKS ALOT…
ALSO GOOD LUCK TO YOU…
ALSO THERE DISCONNECTING MY MOMS PHONE..
DOES THAT COUNT AS A VIOLATION???
it would of been for me guaranteed
I’ve been on house arrest for almost 3 months now, but my house arrest doesn’t have a phone line or breath test or anything like that its just a box and small ankle bracelet I don’t haft to report to any P.O. or ever hear from any as far as that goes, which I’m only on it for M4 railroad trespassing, Anyhow what happens if you violate HA do they send the police to your house or just wait to catch you on it later I’m not sure what kind of equipment they have me on its not a GPS either and on my house arrest equipment box it sais training on it dont really understand what thats bout either I think mine is just a big fing joke I’ve had a couple appointments and called left messages on there machine but I’ve never heard anything from them they told me not to even go out on my front porch but I have and nothing happened so I just wander what the deal is all I have is a 219 dollar fine 100 of that is for my EMHA so I didnt haft to pay any big money Does anyone have any Ideas on what the deal could be bout this crap….if you do Email me at cline031@live.com
Hey everyone.
I will be keeping my nose cleen until I get off in 40 or so days.
Thanks to everyone on this site.
It really helped me a lot to be able to get answers that are no where else.
good luck to every one of you and I will check in and let you all know what is up.
thanks rza.
any time brotha
just cut my bracelet off at 930 tonite, i asked to get off early and they reviewed my case and told me yes!!!! it feels great!! only had 4 more weeks to go but still. i wish i would of asked earlier, but oh well its over!!! now to get through 3 and a half years probation, thanks everyone i love u all except all the haters and shit talkers. i’ll still be on here now and again so dont worry im not going anywhere. peace out
THE RZA
Hellzzz Yeah Congratulations!!!! Don’t party to hard …. I hope they will do something like that for me ? I am still waiting for permission to go with my wife to the hospitable for the birth of my Son . It’s getting really close, 5 weeks …
It’s just so sad we got ourselves into a situation that causes us to have to ask for the simplest, yet very important, life events. Congrats on the new baby and let’s hope that authorization comes through soon. Babies come out when they want to, lol.
Congratulations!!!! That is awesome! Here was my choice: 6 months on HA then DONE, completely done (no probation, case closed), but absolutely no chance of early release whatsoever…OR my attorney said they were trying to push for 3 months HA then 5 years probation. I was the biggest probation violator known to the universe because our PO’s are the dickiest of the DICKS. That’s why my situation got so bad – I was on 5 years probation for a possession charge almost 5 years ago and I got violated right and left for stupid shit like leaving the state (for work) without letting PO know, not reporting a change of employment, a speeding ticket, and then something quite serious – a DUI. I never did have any dirty drug tests in almost 5 years though. So I elected to get this over with (I mean I was facing ultimately a year in county jail for the original charge) and do the 6 months HA without any frickin’ PO’s crawling up my ass every month – and believe me, they were so ready to see me serve, so if I’d have been put on another 5 years…I’d have been back before the judge in no time.
RZA – 3 1/2 years is a haul – but you can do it! I think I sent an invite on facebook to you – did you get it?
yea i got, thanx. i think i sent u a message on ur wall too. ne ways yea 3 1/2 years is a grip but at least i dont got that crap on my ankle no more, it makes all the difference to b able to be home when u feel like it not when they say.
hell yea congrats Fly!!! hope they let u go man, thats important stuff there.
and bw that wasnt your friend that got locked up man, it was your boyfriend, if my guy got locked up i wouldnt be on the computer researching shit about him. you only do that for a loved one> just changed your name to bf homie. ( butt fu%$##)
right! i think it was his boyfriend, this guys a flamer. sounds like hes tryin to get a date with me LOL, sorry snatch not gonna happen! lol
its wierd not havin to ask for every little thing now, i was hangin at my homies last night and kept feelin like i had to go. they could see it too, it just feels wierd.
I GOT 50 DOLLARS DUDES A FIFTY YEAR OLD VIRGIN THAT LIVES IN HIS MOMS BASEMENT AND PLAYS DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS WITH HIS BOYFRIENDS
HAHAHAHAHAHA RIGHT!! i got 50 G’s to put on that!
For real man. Why the hell would somebody that aint even on house arrest even look this up.I’m on house arrest and can tell I get out the house more than he does.
Kill yourself…
AH POOR BABY!! I THINK WE MADE HIM CRY!!!
Is there any place online I can get rivets like the one on my ancle??? Summer us almost over and I wAnt to hit up the city at least once….:(
I had the University of Kentucky’s Dean of their Engineering School who I’ve known for years come by and take a look at this thing just for fun and aside from taking a huge risk, he even said…don’t f*@# with it. Says the electronics are too tricky to get around and obviously designed that way for a reason.
dont do it there are plenty more summers to come in the future, at least u get to spend this one in your own home instead of a cell man. just wait it out.
Mine has wires running thru the band of it shits crazy!!
wassup everyone I am back! Got switched to a new house but had to go back to jail until the judge oked this new place. Been fighting my case for about 15 months and its almost over (I hope) Look forward to chatting with everyone. Jaybone wassupp…Rza wassup Ladies how are yas? be on tommorro sweetdreams everyone
good to have u back homie
Hey everyone, I have been reading your posts on here almost daily. I am in Illinois and got put on the HomeGuard 206 monitor. It is the cellular connection because I don’t have a house phone. Is there anyone else on this same monitor? I’m wondering what all the details or specs are about it. I have 6 months left on parole and haven’t been told anything about how long I’m supposed to be on this damn thing. My parole officer hasn’t told me a thing. I got put on it because of some bull, I got arrested because my friend didn’t have the balls to claim some drugs that he took out of his pocket and put on the floor of my truck when we got pulled over. I did 20 days in the county jail before going to court. The judge completely dismissed my case and dropped all charges. When I got back home, my parole officer told me that he was putting me on house arrest. I couldn’t understand if all the charges got dismissed, why I had to be put on house arrest. Hopefully I only have to have this thing on for a short time and not till my parole is up but who knows. In the 6 months that I’ve been on parole already I’ve only had 1 dirty drop and that was because I went on vaca and my cousin gave me a couple Tylenol 3′s cause I was fighting off a cold which made the drop dirty for opiates. Does anyone know the range on the bracelet, or how far I can go from my house without it saying that I’m not here? I have been almost a full year sober from all the “illegal” drugs and won’t even be associated with anyone that has anything to do with them. I have another question, I was in group counseling because it was part of my directions for parole. Has anyone had this happen to them? I didn’t like going to the meetings because they put the thought of doing drugs back into my mind. When I was away from the treatment, the drugs never crossed my mind once. Now that I’ve been put on house arrest, my parole officer tells me that I have to go back to treatment again. What do I do? If anyone wants to contact me directly my e-mail address is danm6384@gmail.com Hopefully someone can give me some insight and help me out with this. Good luck to everyone and lets all get through this without violating so we can let the “man” know that they can’t hold us down. Give them the big F-YOU!! Peace and love guys.
I was sentenced to 5 years probation…fulfilled almost all of that and had 5 months left. During my probation years, I was told to report ANY encounter with law enforcement whether I was charged, arrested, or even if I called the police on disorderly neighbors…I had to report it. (Did I? why of course not…that’s one reason I got violated and put on home incarceration). I was told to report any involvement with the authorities – that it would be at the discretion of my PO what to do with the information…whether he would just note it in the file or put me on for a prob violation). And they did say if I didn’t report it at all it would be a guaranteed violation. So…here I sit.
I would think you would need to have a judge order you back to treatment unless your PO is saying you’ll go back to treatment to avoid going back before the judge because judge may revoke probation altogether and you’ll end up in the clink? My po did not have the authority to put me on home incarceration…I had to go back before the judge to get my probation revoked and my sentence was 180 days HI.
Hey RZA, Jaybone, and everyone else.
I hope that you are doing good RZA and I am sorry for the rant in advance.
Well I am down to my last 29 days.
My sister and brother in law have made it so horrible to live with and they can’t even keep the phone on.
I jut had to pay $350 just to get it bck on and buy them a week to come up with the rest.
It could be worse.
It is almost over and congrats RZA or getting off early.
I wish my state was like that.
I can make it the last 4 weeks as long a I dont have to pay for the cable bill again.
Just keep your nose clean RZA and probatin will be over with before you know it.
I am thankful for the nice people I have met on this site and I feel very lucky to know everyone who has been nice enough to reply to me and answer my questions and read my long crybaby posts.
I hope that everyone makes it through their time and gets off and moves forward with your lives and put this behind us all.
Good luck to everyone and I will write and let you all know when I am off and I will come back to check on everyone and say hello when I can.
Thanks again everyone.
Joey AKA TheKrafty1
Hey Krafty1. Are you the guy from O.C. California. Are you saying in California they dont let anyone off HA early? Im with Sentinal too. I had the greatest case manager, Abby. She left now I have the Nazi.
I am needing some info , they change my H.A. System From A BI Escort to the Sentinel duel Trak … On My escort i could go outside with no problems …SO CAN ANYBODY HELP ME WITH THIS SENTINEL DUEL TRAK ALL INFO WOULD BE GREAT!!!! I DNT HAVE TO DO BREATH TEST AND THERE IS NO WINDOW ON TOP…
Thats what they were going to switch me to but said since I was at 30 days left they decided not to switch me out. He told me it was a GPS tracker (the bi is not) and it has the ability to have contact with the person by way of voice communication anytime…so if I were to leave my designated range the dude on the other end could say “Hey, where the fuck are you and why arent you at your house?” My guess is you just need to be at your address or if you are allowed out, wherever you say you’re going to be.
My names Tyler,I’m 19 and on A.S.U in Florida.. It is pretty relaxed.. My officer is pretty cool, and Isn’t on my case much. I have not had one drug test in 2 months. Although she just called me friday and says I need to show for a “equipment check” lol.. I’m ready for it.. I have recently heard that if I let my ankle monitor die then I will be able to leave.. She says it updated itself after you turn it on, but how? It just isnt logically posibble..
wat up everybody!!
same shit different toilet…sike I am very grateful to be sitting here typing instead of being on lock down. Because thats all they do here in Philly is keep the prisoners locked in ALL day. I am actually talking to human rights activists about it now. Somthings have to change it’s not rite! Wassup Rza!!
damn that is messed up, ive heard of that for max security prisons which i suppose is understandable but for county jails and state pens thats just not right. i would think that its a violation of your rights as a person for sure, maybe even illegal. but wat would i know im just another criminal LOL. hey good luck gettin some heads turned for these folks, ur doin a good thing guito.
Yes from everything I have heard from my friend Brian who just finished 280 days and had his Lawyer go in for him to see if he could get an early release and the judge said no so he had done everything that he was supposed to and had all good reports from Sentinel and hid DUI school so I don’t think you can unless you have a very compelling reason but to even try you have to go to court and see the judge to try.
I can’t say it is impossible to get off of House Arrest early in OC but I have not heard of anyone getting off early.
Who is you case manager now?
Mine is way cool.
They are pretty mean on your first and second visits but after a month of being on they will be a lot more kick back.
Just be on time for your appointments and at home when you are supposed to and you wont have any problems.
Let me know if you have any questions.
I am almost done and I have been on for 250 days and I am off on the 8th of August so I will answer your questions if you have nay.
Good luck and hey RZA and everyone else.
Krafty.
Question that hopefully some body can help me with. I am currently on the HOMEGUARD 200 system where there is (3)different settings as far as range. My range is set at Medium…the warrant unit has already come out to re-set the range because I was having problems. Now I get a call just about everytime I open my front door! So my question is: Will a steel door block/obstruct the range on the box?
I was recently put on HIP (home incarceration program) in KY for a fourth offense dui. It is a class D felony. I wanted to ask if the ankle bracelet I am wearing can detect alcohol. It’s a GPS system and all I have is the ankle bracelet, nothing else. I’m allowed to do whatever I want from 12 noon to 6pm Mon-Sat and 9am-1pm on Sunday. If I need to go somewhere that isn’t on my schedule I just call my PO.Don’t you have to have some type of breathalyzer test in your home for them to be able to monitor alcohol intake. I love to drink and wondered if I could hahaha, although I should stop i’m only 34 and this is my 9th dui since I was 16.
What type of bracelet is it? Some of them do have breathylizers on them. If you do a google search of the brand and model # (mine bracelet has a little sticker on it)…you can find out all kinds of stuff.
Thx Tara, unfortunately a portion of the sticker is torn off and I can’t make out the brand name of the bracelet. I’ll try to google GPS monitoring device and the model number, maybe that’ll have some hits. Thx again
Wow scanky, that’s a lot of dui’s…… 9? I’ve got 3 & have been on house arrest for over a year & a half…. 6 months 2 go….. I’ve been done with drinking…..
Luckily I was only charged with a 4th offense, I was sentenced to 240 days in jail. I only served 60 days and now I’m on house arrest for the remainder. I’ve been really lucky and had some awesome attorneys.
I was sentenced to 6 months county jail, but due to a car accident and being under the care of an orthopedic 3 times a week, my sentenced was changed to house arrest. Will I have to do ALL 180 days? I got this bracelet put on my ankle on July 16th, 2010 and Sentinel told me it will be on until January 10th, 2011. Crazy but, Lindsey Lohan got 90 days, went in on July 20th & gets out august 1st. That means she did 12 on 90. So, does that mean I will do 24 on 180 if I do the jail time instead? If thats the case, I have had this thing on for 14 days now. I am thinking of asking the judge to do the remainder of my time in custody after I have been on this thing for 30 days, hoping I will get booked and then released. By the way, I do not have the money to pay for this either & was told by my PD that I wouldnt have to, but Sentinel says that i have to pay $10 a day. What happens if you fo to an appointment and do not have all the money?
I am on Sentinel and I have to do my whole 270 Sentence.
My friend Brian who just finished 280 days and he had his lawyer go to court 2 months early to see if he could get early release and was denied so that would be your only chance to get off early is by getting a judge to say you can get off early.
I am in OC Cali so it may be different in your state.
Next time you go in to your case manager at sentinel ask them if there is any way to get early release.
I hope this helps and I am sorry I dont have better news.
Krafty
10 days left all.
I am so happy amnd if I can do it amd make it 270 days anyone can.
I will check in and le you all kno how I am so I hope everyone gets off and doesnt ever have to go through this ever again.
Good luck everyone.
TheKrafty1
Congrats and good luck! I’m down to 17 from 180 – can’t imagine one day longer than that. If you all see the explosion of fireworks in Louisville KY in 2 1/2 weeks it’s my getting out party! Famous last words, yeah I know…BUT I WILL NEVER BE BACK IN THIS SITUATION AGAIN!
