Former New York Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik was released from jail Tuesday after pleading guilty last week to tax fraud and other criminal charges.
Kerik arrived at his New Jersey home Tuesday night where he'll be under house arrest until his sentencing.
He will have to wear an electronic monitoring device, and will only be allowed pre-approved visits to his lawyer, accountant and doctors.
While in court, the former top cop asked for permission to walk his children to and from school, but a judge denied the request.
Kerik was released earlier in the day from the Westchester County Jail on $1.5 million bail.
He pleaded guilty last week in the three federal cases pending against him.
Kerik was accused of lying on tax returns and accepting renovations to his co-op from a contractor looking to do business with the city and trying to get that company a city contract.
He also admitted to lying during the White House vetting process when he was nominated for Homeland Security Department secretary in 2004.
Prosecutors are recommending a sentence of 27 to 33 months behind bars.
Kerik will be sentenced on February 18.
