House arrest is a lenient punishment for criminal activity and is used when jailing is not considered an appropriate punishment. You are fitted with a sensor around your ankle. You cannot leave your property. If you do, the sensor will beep and you have 10 seconds to get back. If you fail to return, the sensor will turn red instead of green and the police will come. The sensor may be configured to allow a person to go to work while wearing it.
