A tornozeleira eletrônica e a controversa contribuição junto ao sistema prisional brasileiro

Abstract

The article aimed to analyze the advantages and disadvantages related to the innovations brought by the electronic monitoring of prisoners, inserted by Law nº 12.258/2010. A brief analysis of the evolution of the electronic monitoring of prisoners was carried out until the present day. We sought to study electronic monitoring as a technological solution, as it was built to monitor individuals who are not in prison. It is a resource to empty the penitentiary system, reduce public spending, prevent new crimes and also an effective attempt to insert the individual into society, under the control of the State, and guarantee their social integrity. Therefore, it was demonstrated that electronic monitoring does not violate the principle of human dignity, allowing prisoners to live in a family and work environment while serving their sentences.
