Typically he can receive visits on the very first visitation date/time. The visits are very chill, you can bring food for him to eat there and to take to his dorm room along with clothing (not more prison garb).

Home incarceration is one step removed from the halfway house. Offenders on home confinement wear a monitoring device usually on their ankle (i wore mine on my wrist, it looked like a watch and no one knew the difference) which is a conversation-starter for sure.
