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.
