93-3-WMR Audio on Demand presents the Preston and Steve show podcast.

We had some questions about house arrest, and Steve had pulled up this link to, and I'll give

a plug to the website. It's Marnie Joe Snyder, Criminal Defense Trial Attorney. Sounds legit to me. They handle all of Gritty's legal work. And it says five things to know about

house arrest in Pennsylvania, because we did have some house arrest questions. We do have a lot of

questions because I think ever since the notion of house arrest came up, it always seemed like,

I could think I could do that. I'm okay, depending on how long, you know? Because we always try to, you always try to think, and that's the whole purpose of jail. It's supposed to serve as a deterrent. Gee, I don't think I'd like to do that. Listen, house arrest, I'm sure, is a thousand times better than prison, but I would go nuts if I was stuck in my house. You would, but if you think about being stuck in a jail. Yes. Depends on the house, too. Well, it depends on if you're in Cosby's house or you're in a mobile home. Well, that's true, but I still think the mobile home would be better than prison. What if you can drive your house? Are you allowed out of your house? Simply because of it, listen, it would be other people. Yes, of course. Other people in jail would be the big deterrent to going to jail for me.

Many times can be unpleasant. Yes. Yeah, yeah. But if you were to have, and if those who have

experienced house arrest, feel free to get in touch with us. Here are the, some basic things,

five things that you need to know about

house arrest in Pennsylvania. So according to this website, it says house arrest can be granted instead

of bail or is an alternative to serving in jail sense. Well, we know that, right? I can use an

alternative punishment to jail. The judge finds a compelling reason that a defendant should be in the

community. But the crime or prior record is too severe

for probation and more supervision is needed, then the judge can order that the jail sentences

served on house arrest or electronic monitoring. Because sometimes you remember,

you're allowed to go to work. I mean, you can, you can, if you're under electronic monitoring,

they just make sure that you go from your front door to your job, back to your front door.

If you're under house arrest, and I, it may not be in this list here, Preston, but you're not, are you always under monitored an electronic monitor?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Is that always the case?

I don't know. I don't know if it's always the case or not.
