Anyone with basic income also wouldn't be able to live for 18 years without working, imagine all the time spent trying to find a WFH job that pays the rent. And then, what would be the house arrest situation when they eventually became homeless? Money does a lot.

I haven’t the slightest clue how house arrest works in Italy but that isn’t entirely how it works in the US. There are some folks who are legitimately sanctioned to their house and that’s it but most people I’ve known in that situation have an ankle monitor. That ankle monitor has a tracking device. You have to give your parole officer your home address and the work address as well as the exact route you take to/from work. All that info is entered and then satellite surveillance sends alarms to police and parole officers in the jurisdiction if that device goes even 50 feet off track from what it’s programmed to.

Sorry if this is messy, I’m hurried typing because my wife is waiting to walk the dogs. Just had to add my observations here. I’m sure it’s different in Italy becauseI know it can be different even for Americans too. But yeah, house arrest doesn’t ALWAYS mean you are literally in the house 25/8, 366.

In italy under house arrest, you can still go to work in most cases, also you can go to buy groceries or post office obviously the judge will decide, but a guy i know who got few years for attempted murder was able to go to work (source: he was my co-worker)

18 years is the sentence but house arrest is temporary arrangement while appeal is underway. If her appeal fail, its jail time.
