House arrest, you know, I'm going to keep it real.

It seems ideal until you have to be on house arrest.

Until you can't leave your house.

Like, niggas are old.

Yeah, I think that.

I think that's fair.

Well, and I think then it goes from... Because what you get in a situation like this, more than anything, is people weighing the punishment versus the crime.

And it's like, okay, am I willing to be locked in my own house for six months?

Right.

Am I willing to be locked in my own house for a year?

Right.

do we create social programs around like people that can like work from home, like entry-level work from home.

So people who are on house arrest can still be employed.

No, I think, but I think it's an interesting concept because it's like, there still is a consequence.

Like, yeah, like you ain't going to be in the public for a little bit.

You know what I'm saying?

But we not going to put you in a facility where you could be next to violent offenders and possibly like, you know, you got to, you got to prison.

for a nonviolent offense.

And like, as we've seen, majority of people are locked up for violent offenses.

So you get thrown into a world of violence and you either participate or become a victim to it.
