Description

The electronic monitoring of prisoners in their own homes is operational throughout the world. It is used in a variety of contexts with mixed results & varied reviews & will clearly remain as a potential tool of corrections in the future. This article provdes an analysis of electronically monitored house arrest (EMHA) through the use of a brief case study from Montgomery County, OH, which has begun experimenting on a very limited basis with house arrest & the electronic monitoring of those so restrained. The article emphasizes the interaction between agencies of the political system & the importance of this interaction in fostering the appropriate social reality, Finally, it suggests a means of implementing a program of EMHA in an actual jurisdiction which will manage the political risk for all the actors involved.
