Introduction

On the 26th of February, I will begin ~100 days of court-imposed house arrest/work release... "The Collar".

The Collar

"The Work Release Program is monitored through the use of an electronic ankle bracelet with a built-in GPS (global positioning satellite) system. This technology combines data from the tracking device and a computer based map to track your movements 24 hours a day. Typically, you may be limited to travel only associated with employment or school"


"The Collar" is for low-risk, non-violent offenders who have to serve more than 30 days, but less than a year. It is offered as a way to continue employment or education, as an alternative to serving time in jail. Such is the fate of your loyal blogger.


Yes, that is me to the right, most people call me "Jack". You can do the same. I do smoke cigarettes (my favorite brand is Newport). That doesn't appear to be a cigarette in the particular picture I've chose, however.

During my time on "The Collar", I'll document exactly what I go through on a day to day basis. How "The Collar" effects my social life, my professional life, and all other aspects of my daily operations as a human being. The entire purpose of this blog, is for entertainment, although I'd imagine that the posts will be very educational.

People who might be interested in this blog include every day average people who might be curious about alternative sentencing. Individuals who are also facing similar fates, may find this blog helpful for coping with their own situations. I plan to update the blog daily, with as many relevant pictures as I can and as much insight as I can provide from my own perspective.
