Gourt Home::Gourt :: Halfway house
Halfway House is also a village in Shropshire, England.
A halfway house is a drug rehabilitation or sex offender center, where drug users or sex offenders respectively, or even 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 term can also refer to a place where victims of child abuse, orphans or teenage runaways can stay. They are often run by the Church of England.
