NEW YORK, May 14 /PRNewswire/ -- There's still a lot of rehab to do! A whole season and the parolees of "Halfway Home" are not even halfway there. The season finale of "Halfway Home" debuts Wednesday, May 16 at 10:30 p.m.

"Halfway Home" is an improvised half-hour show featuring the daily exploits of five ex-cons living together in a residential rehab facility. In the season finale, ex-con male prostitute Eulogio (Oscar Nunez) prepares to meet one of his former "johns" who hasn't quite recovered from their sexual encounter. Oscar dreams of romance but his former lover arrives with a surprise guest. Meanwhile, the wife of parolee Alan, the arsonist, hires a high-powered attorney to exonerate her husband. Not wanting to return to his annoying wife, Alan decides to fire things up and goes to great lengths to assure he is not set free.

"Halfway Home" welcomes viewers to Crenshaw House, where the L.A. Bureau of Prisons houses some of its most notorious parolees. Living together under one roof, "Halfway Home's" residents must learn to come to terms with each other and live on the straight-and-narrow under the semi-watchful eye of their county-approved supervisor. 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.

"Halfway Home" is executive produced by Damon Jones, Oscar Nunez, Kevin Ruf and Jay Martel and co-executive produced by Bruce Smith and Matt Sloan. Margy Yuspa serves as executive in charge of production for COMEDY CENTRAL.
