Q: When a person is giving private home Detention why to there pending case read Closed/Inactive
A: If the person is sentenced to home detention, that's the sentence: case is closed. The fact that a defendant is now serving his or her sentence or is on supervised probation does not mean that the case before the courts is "active" any longer. The case may become active again if the defendant were to be charged with a violation of the terms of the sentence or probation, but until then, the case is inactive as far as the court is concerned. The Department of Corrections and/or Department of Parole and Probation take over active supervision and oversight of a defendant once sentence is imposed.
