Home detention as condition of probation
Sec. 5. (a) Except as provided in section 5.5 of this chapter, as a
condition of probation a court may order an offender confined to the
offender's home for a period of home detention lasting at least sixty
(60) days.

detention to be provided by the probation department for the court or
by a community corrections program that provides supervision of
home detention.
(d) A person's term of confinement on home detention under this
chapter is computed on the basis of the actual days the person spends
on home detention.
(e) A person confined on home detention as a condition of
probation earns credit for time served.
