The correct option is (a) work release. (a) Work Release is a bop program that allows some inmates to live in a halfway house. In this program, inmates are granted the opportunity to work in the community during the day and return to the halfway house at night.

Minimum security federal prisons primarily house inmates with less than ten years remaining on their sentence and who are convicted of nonviolent offenses. Inmates typically live in dormitory-style housing.

In the federal courts, home confinement is not a sentence in and of itself but may be a condition of either probation, parole, supervised release, or pretrial release.

The issue the halfway houses must confront is whether to be generalists and accept all categories of offenders or be specialists and focus on providing services to a narrowly- defined group.

The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) is the single repository for inmate records incarcerated in state-owned facilities. The CDCR provides access to these records via an inmate search tool on its website.

A halfway house is a living environment that supports recovery for people transitioning out of drug and/or alcohol rehab, mental health treatment, and/or incarceration.

This program serves an alternative to incarceration for technical parole violators or as a special condition of parole on release from prison.

Running away or leaving a halfway house for good could have legal consequences. For example, when an inmate is let out of prison under the condition that they check into a halfway house, they must stay the entire time required. If not, they could be sent back to prison or jail.

Halfway houses have strict rules, treatment programs, work requirements, and curfews. While in a halfway house, inmates (now-residents) live together as a community. They can't use drugs or drink alcohol. They must get permission before leaving the halfway house, participate in required programs, and look for a job.
