[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 171073, member: 3626"] I hate to say this but your post gave me a lot of red flags. He's already tried to see if the ankle bracelet will slip off? Not good! I hope this PO has put enough fear into Cory so that he really will follow the straight and narrow. What about working? Is Cory off the hook on this one? I thought he had a pretty good job. What happened to it? Usually, work or looking for work is factored into house arrest. And, yes, you and he will go crazy with him being in the house 20 hours a day. I wish you luck! Now I'm going to say something that will probably get you angry. He's on house arrest yet you're talking about not only getting him out of the house but out of the county. If he were in jail, there is no way they would release him to say good-bye to his brother. Why should he get this privilege because he's at home? More importantly, do you really want to give him the message that he should follow rules unless there's a good reason or it is unconvenient? I understand you would ask permission and if the PO said no, you'd abide by it, but the message would still be we're going to try to break the rule because this is important to this family. I do understand your desire and even need for the two of them to see each other before Jamie goes overseas. I know I would be devastated if my brother had had to go to war and I couldn't say good-bye. However, Cory is being punished and house arrest really is a form of "doing the time." Let's hope that Cory works the house arrest to his advantage so that when sentencing comes, the PO will recommend either reduced time or, as you want, weekend sentencing. It will make things a little easier for you and still let Cory know that he's not off the hook. [/QUOTE]
