Asking hard (but incomplete) questions about electronic monitoring as an alternative to prison
I am glad to see that NBC News has this lengthy new article about electronic monitoring under the headline Incarcerated at home: The rise of ankle monitors and house arrest during the pandemic. Unfortunately, the piece only scratches the surface concerning how the pandemic may have enduringly altered sentencing practices and the pros and cons of greater reliance on home confinement with electronic monitoring. I still recommend this piece, but I hope future coverage will gather more data and dig even deeper into pandemic-era experiences on this important topic. In the meantime, here are excerpts from this lengthy NBC News piece:
New York governor Andrew Cuomo walks past cells in Clinton Correctional Facility in 2014.
Lots of furniture at City University of New York institutions is made by inmates in prison. That’s not a secret. It’s actually a legal requirement.
Like several other states, New York requires that government agencies use Corcraft, the brand name for its state prison industry, as a “preferred source” for products. If an agency needs a new office chair and Corcraft has a product that fits the bill, officials are required to purchase it.
The link between public institutions and prison labor has been well documented, but as policing and prisons have continued to grab hold of the national conversation, some students have been pushing back, demanding their universities cut ties with what they call “prison slavery.”
