What are the child visitation rights for a person on house arrest?

My ex recently was released from jail and is continuing the sentence on house arrest. He is requesting to resume the visitation schedule while on house arrest. Our child did not have communication with him while he was in jail and he did not maintain the visitation schedule before going to jail. He is very apprehensive about visits with his Dad who has a history of mental illness which the court has addressed in regard to the DUIs but ignores that there is a child who is effected.
