Electronic monitoring and its role in the effective social reintegration of prisoners in light of Law No. 18-01
Keywords:
Penal institutions, convicted person, electronic monitoring, electronic braceletAbstract
Reforming and modernizing the justice sector requires a strong focus on prisoners and a shift in punitive policy to allow for the actual implementation of judicial reform. The judge’s role is no longer limited to sentencing punishment but extends to seeking reform, rehabilitation, and social reintegration of inmates, through alternative methods that help reduce the harms of custodial penalties. Electronic monitoring aims to shift punitive policy from its traditional reliance on deprivation of liberty to the use of modern technology as an alternative punishment carried out outside the confines of penal institutions, regardless of their classification. This shift ensures the realization of contemporary criminal justice policy, which seeks to reform and rehabilitate the convicted person, ultimately reducing recidivism and assisting the individual in becoming a productive member of society.
