I think it's important to note that she's still awaiting trial. This isn't the punishment or justice stage.
Personally, I think conditions for an accused that is deemed a flight risk, not a danger to others, should be non-prisonlike. That doesn't mean I agree with home detention in her case though.
Innocent people are accused and detained everyday. It's extremely offensive and personally damaging to be treated like a criminal and only afforded the same rights as the convicted while you try to mount a defense and hold onto what was your life from inside a cell.

Innocent until proven guilty.
