First, have you been convicted? My guess is not and this is a condition of your release.
When you are charged with a crime you will be either remanded (kept in jail), allowed to make bail or released on your own recognicance. The court can place restrictions, such as home confinement, on your release. This status lasts until you are found guilty, found not guilty or the case is dismissed (except if a court decideds to change your bail status).
And you are only entitled to get a jury on sentences that face a year or more maximum, and then you have to WAIVE it or otherwise you have a jury trial.

If you were charged, there was probable cause. It's within a state's police power to protect the safety and wellfare of its citizens under the Constitution. You are not guilty so much as being sequestered from the rest of society before your fate is decided...nice try though but if the state let everyone that was simply charged out of jail on bond or without bond, this would be a scary world.

If what you are speaking of is home arrest in Lu of posting bond, then no it is not. If you cannot afford bond it is much more humane to you to spend the time at home that to take-up jail space, and trust me much more comfortable.
The state has a responsibility to insure that you are going to be around to answer those charges at trial,which could be months or years away. Feel lucky that some jurisdictions have the option.

Haven't you heard yet? We in North America are governed by benevolent dictatorships of the rich and few. This will only change when we ordinary common folk take back what our forefathers and mothers built. One more observation, what happens when our governments turn malevolent? Time's running out.........

You can't have a jury of your peers unless you ask for it...end of subject.
If you didn't ask for it, you screwed yourself, and yes you can be confined because a judge said you were to be confined...Just be glad you aren't in prison, and get your time over and done.
