the cast features kevin ruf (“fun with dick and jane,” groundlings member), the house supervisor who attempts to rehabilitate the misfit parolees including oscar nunez (“the office,” “reno 911!”), a male prostitute who uses sex to get what he desires; jordan black (“punk’d,” “mad tv”), a wanna-be terrorist who is really just a rich kid from california; regan burns (“oblivious,” “the movie club”) the house narc who has an uncontrollable obsession with fire; jessica makinson (“joe schmo 2,” “trigger happy tv”), a drug trafficker who can’t give up her old habits and octavia spencer (“coach carter,” “spiderman”), an armed robbery convict.
the volatile mix of personalities together with the mandatory 24/7 supervision creates the perfect setting for unpredictable comedic mayhem. in the premiere episode, one of the residents smells something suspicious in the middle of the night and kenny, the house supervisor, forces the parolees to take drug tests with hilarious results. future episodes feature the parolees attempting self-reliance training during an excursion in the wilderness, the men of “halfway home” going through a period of erectile dysfunction and the residents being asked to ‘”scare straight” a mammoth-sized juvenile delinquent.
