Why do you assume he has a house?
House-arrest for a homeless. That'll be nice. Please stay on the corner of 5th and west st. for the duration of your time to be served.

The US does a few things very right - why must it get some things so wrong?)
We rank up there with Mexico and Turkey as the only developed country without universal health care.
And with such industrious countries as Liberia & Myanmar that aren't on Metric yet.
USA USA USA.

You are a selfish prick.
A man wants to go prison and you work to deny him that simple thing?
Fuck you!

Here's what he needs to do: when he's at his sentencing hearing, and they sentence him to house arrest, he needs to grab a pen, go over to the DA/prosecuting attorney, and stab him with it. Take out his eyes if possible (he's a lawyer, he deserves it). Then put his hands up and say "send me to prison!"
There's no way they can avoid sending him to prison after brutally maiming a lawyer (since hurting a lawyer gets you the same penalty as hurting a human, even though lawyers aren't human).
