A Conditional Sentence Order (CSO) is a sentence a step away from actual jail. A CSO is a jail sentence that is served in the community. In essence, your residence becomes your prison from which you are not allowed out except, usually, for work, necessities, and emergencies. In our case, we don’t even have the work exception. It’s like we are all serving a CSO of undetermined length. CARPE DIEM Stay safe. Stay healthy.
