Whom we are serving today
USA: 22.000 offenders engaged to case management or electronic GPS monitoring (almost 5.000) in Florida, Mississippi, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Kentucky Brasil (Rio Grande do Sul): 200 offenders on GPS monitoring, up to 800 to be ordered; Pernambuco and Santa Caterina will follow Bahamas: 500 offenders on GPS monitoring, up to 2000 to be ordered Alaska: 450 devices for GPS monitoring under negotiation Canada: pilot project Middle America: 2000 devices for GPS monitoring under negotiation
Electronic Monitoring, Financial Benefits*
Costs of prison are about 6 times higher than costs of EM
Electronic Monitoring (EM) reduces offenders risk of failure by 31%
In addition, GPS monitoring results in 6% fewer supervision failures vs house arrest based on RF technology
Offenders can pay for EM
Agents report that EM goals and objectives were being met, i.e.
Alternative to imprisonment
reduce recidivism
protect public and victims of crime
compliance to terms and conditions of supervision (absconding, violations of court imposed conditions of supervision, re-offending)
Recidivism significantly reduced by EM, especially if online voice communication with offender (direct intervention) can be used
Statewide 24h / 7d Monitoring Center has significantly reduced the number of minor alerts (and costs) to be handled by officers
* Study of Florida State University (January 2010), 6 additional studies (1990 until 2006), field study Germany (2002 until 2010)
GPS versus RF Monitoring*
House Arrest (RF Monitoring) only indicates “digital” information (offender at house / not at house)
Information lost if offender left house arrest zone without permission (no GPS tracking)
No inclusion zone / exclusion zone capabilities
Usage of RF versus GPS (Florida State):
* Study of Florida State University (January 2010), 6 additional studies (1990 until 2006), field experience Utah County (2. quarter 2010)
