When someone is placed under House Arrest it usually means that they are kept at their home for a set period of time and cannot leave their home; this is usually more Lenient than being sent to prison but places like China put political prisoners under permanent house arrest where they are patrolled 24/7 such as when Human Rights lawyer Chen Guangcheng was placed under permanent house arrest after suing the Chinese government over forced abortions, he later escaped his house and fled to the US consulate where an agreement was made to send him to the USA.
COVID-19/Wuhan Virus lockdowns have also been compared to house arrest such as the new Lockdown on Wales that was implemented in October 2020 which has also been described as Solitary Confinement.

(n.) Any arrest without a warrant or witnessed crime made without any charges filed, no access to a lawyer, no civil protections, and no possibility of a trial in the foreseeable future, made possible by the PATRIOT Act (a US law that is still the cause of polarizing controversy) and used to accuse innocent people of being terrorists because they work as a cashier in a store that a captured terrorist used to shop at (or something equally pointless).
Every time that a Patriot Act arrest is made, America walks further along the path of self-destruction.
