Surviving House Arrest Halle Cooper

Everyone makes mistakes. The only thing that matters is if you learned from those mistakes and you are doing what you can to move forward with your life. Surviving House Arrest is a bold and brutally honest recount of the life that faces a person when they choose house arrest in a plea arrangement. Cooper gives insight to the trials and tribulations from being within the criminal justice system in a raw and disarming clarity. She draws an intimate portrait of the effect that house arrest has on the individual and their family, as well as the communities that they live in. Surviving House Arrest shows how you can weather the daunting sacrifices and come to achieve personal growth within a system that is systematically designed for you to fail. With your extra time, Cooper shows you how, with a little effort, you can work towards a better life. As an ever-growing alternative to jail, offenders should be completely aware of the punishment that they are signing up for.
