In justice and law, house arrest (also called home confinement, home detention, or electronic monitoring) is a measure by which a person is confined by the authorities to his or her residence. Travel is usually restricted, if allowed at all. House arrest is a lenient alternative to prison time or juvenile-detention time.
While house arrest can be applied to common criminal cases when prison does not seem an appropriate measure, the term is often applied to the use of house confinement as a measure of repression by authoritarian governments against political dissidents. In that case, typically, the person under house arrest does not have access to means of communication. If electronic communication is allowed, conversations will most likely be monitored. With certain units, the conversations of criminals can be directly monitored via the unit itself.
Home detention provides an alternative to imprisonment and aims to reduce re-offending while also coping with expanding prison numbers and rising costs. It allows eligible offenders to retain or seek employment, maintain family relationships and responsibilities and attend rehabilitative programs that contribute towards addressing the causes of their offending.
Stacey Lauretta Dash (born January 20, 1966) is an American film and television actress.
She made her first TV appearance in Farrell for the People starring Valerie Harper and a virtually unknown Ed O'Neill in 1982, which did not make it past its pilot episode. Her notable first appearance was as 'Michelle' in the 1985 The Cosby Show episode "Denise's Friend" alongside Lisa Bonet, and in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Dash's first substantial television role was in the 1988 television series TV 101, which also featured Matt LeBlanc and Sam Robards. The series was canceled after 13 episodes.
Dash's first major film role was in the Richard Pryor comedy Moving in 1988. She also had sizeable roles in Mo' Money and Renaissance Man during this time. In 1995, Dash starred as a femme fatale in a low budget film, Illegal in Blue. Dash received her big break with the 1995 film Clueless, which starred Alicia Silverstone and Brittany Murphy. Dash played Cher's high school best friend Dionne Marie Davenport, even though Dash was twenty-eight at the time. In 1996 the film spawned a television spinoff, also called Clueless, in which Dash reprised her role as Dionne and Rachel Blanchard played Cher. The series ran from 1996–1999.

Hear the clock ticks
like the bombs
of history
jail time
ticking outside
they keep us treading the lines
the stocks and figures
hands shake
then triggers
powers-that-be
clean up
the waste of our dreams
all your trends,
back ends
and we all know what it means
I walk this wasteland with you
but it's the least I can do
I walk this wasteland with you
and it's the least I can do
and they say
give it time
while we stand
in the lines
our anthems
diluted to bind us
trapped in this cage
it defines us
a fairer future
these flags we burn
in the name
of 'civilization'
repression
unlearn
I walk this wasteland with you
but it's the least I can do
I walk this wasteland with you
but it's the least I can do
All the lines
yesterday went by
All the lines
yesterday went blind
this toxic nerve
release us
this toxic nerve
release us
this toxic nerve
release
and get us the
fuck out of here
I walk this wasteland with you
but it's the least I can do
I walk this wasteland with you
but it's the least I can do
I walk this wasteland with you
I walk this wasteland with you
I walk this wasteland with you
Park Lane Green it`s saturday night
West End Central flashing lights
We`ve come to dance the night away
U.V. dry ice and DJ
Speaker pump that devil sound
Everybody`s getting down
Moonwalk over to the gents
Exit Zombie money spent
Speaker pump that devil sound
Everybody`s getting down
Moonwalk over to the gents
Exit Zombie money spent
Turnstile toilets I joined the queue
Drinks at the bar drugs in the loo
I entered Jekyll and came out Hyde
Mister Chevignons inside
Bouncers Bimbos Lager louts
Zombie dancefloor bugging out
Ball outside the night is still
Smiley moves in for the kill
Bouncers Bimbos Lager louts
Zombie dancefloor bugging out
Ball outside the night is still
Smiley moves in for the kill
Cops and dogs in transit vans
At 4 o`clock we raid clubland
T for Tango through the door
First us two and then you four
West End Central flashing lights
Park Lane Green it`s saturday night
We`ve come to dance the night away
U.V. dry ice and DJ
Speaker pump that devil sound
Everybody`s getting down
Moonwalk over to the gents
I've been doing so much time inside my mind
My head is my cell behind the bars of my eyes
Tomorrow has a bitter fucking taste
Like Prisoners we wear these chains,
We're innocent and we're through
With rules that say be home at 12.
They can't tell us what to do.
They tell when it's safe to be
Out in our community.
We know the rules,
We disagree
We'll stay out late tonight.
Many opportunities
Are wasted when authority
Takes away our right to be
Ourselves, doing what we do.
So if an when I'm doing wrong
Just save your rules
And play along.
Quit your acting so uptight
'Cuz we are staying out tonight!
They'll tie us down!
(but I don't care!)
They'll stay home!
(but we're going everywhere!)
They'll tie us down !
(but I don't care no more!)
We've still got so much time
Before we're forced to live like you.
Our time to choose not to live our lives
You're content to do the same thing everyday
I'm not but it happens anyways
same old shit, same old time old friends and the same old rhymes
powers that be have got a twitted sense of humour, am I right?
you find it hard to sleep
I know, I've been there before
I'm running on coke and coffee
nothing more than a simple test
a simple test, a simple test
can I keep my eyes open
well I've been there before
and now I wait here patiently
you keep me going when I got no motivation, it's true
with the wind behind my sails
happy birthday to the friends I've never met
and I've been there before
only about a billion times or so
and she took me anyways
and I'll thank her for the rest of my days
