We're not seeing electronic monitoring, per se, as an intervention or a rehabilitation program. We're seeing it as a supervision tool. How do we equip our parole officers or community supervision practitioners to monitor compliance with conditions, geographic restrictions, curfews, or a person's whereabouts? If we're investing in the ability to monitor compliance with the conditions imposed on offenders in a better way than we could before, then we are expecting to enhance our ability to transform the organization into one in which community and staff safety are by-products as well.
