(Redirected from Halfway House)

A 'halfway house' is a drug rehabilitation or sex offender center, where drug users or sex offenders (or convicted felons let out on day parole) are allowed to move more freely than in a prison but are still monitored by staff and/or law enforcement. There is often opposition from neighborhoods where halfway houses attempt to locate.
In the United Kingdom, the corresponding institution is known as a "bail hostel" ^[1], and "halfway house" usually refers instead to a place where victims of child abuse, orphans or teenage runaways can stay. The latter are often run by the Church of England, other churches, charities, and community groups.
