Halfway Home

They're out of jail -- but they're not home yet! Supervised by rehab counselor Kenny Carlisle, the housemates of the Crenshaw halfway house are slowly making that transition from incarceration to freedom. What are they in for? Carly Barzac was convicted of drug trafficking; Serenity Johnson, robbery and assault; Eulogio Pla prostitution; Alan Shepard, arson; and Sebastian "C-Bass" Yates, identity theft. Together, they're making Crenshaw House their home - because legally they have to.


Convicted: Unarmed robbery, assault and battery, TJ's Liquor, Inglewood, CA.

Facts: While attempting to flee the scene with $23 from cash register, Johnson fought 4 LAPD officers, holding them off until shot with a tranquilizer gun. Additional mace, stun gun, and riot net were required to place her in patrol vehicle after arrest.

Convicted: Armed robbery, South Central Los Angeles.

Facts: Daylight robbery of armored car. Rammed back door with body until hinge broke. (Sentence reduced at request of armored car manufacturer.)

Convicted: Robbery, aggravated assault, Norco, CA.

Facts: Johnson claimed she was trying to "beat some sense" into cashier who hesitated when asked to empty the register.
