house arrests
Mandated indoor detentions
House arrests is the plural of house arrest, a form of detention where a person is confined to their residence rather than imprisoned.
Courts impose house arrest as an alternative to jail, often with electronic monitoring: The judge ordered house arrests for all three defendants.
The term also applies to political detentions where dissidents are confined to their homes.
