I don't remember hearing that from the first witness, but I think we've heard very strong evidence in a number of our studies that programs are beneficial. What we want to be able to do is see whether there is a benefit to electronic monitoring in corrections and whether we can suggest that the government use it.
Alterrnatively, as we heard other witnesses state, it may be useful primarily in monitoring immigration cases when there have been removal orders and there are risks of people taking flight. In those situations there is no link to rehabilitation at all. The only reason such an individual would wear a bracelet or be monitored would be so that their removal order could be complied with, as opposed to putting a bracelet on to help them comply with their conditions and thus help them with their program and help them keep out of jail and reintegrate into society.
Would you say that any of the research indicates that the strongest value could be placed on just direct, pure monitoring, with no link to corrections at all?
