The movement to dismantle electronic monitoring (EM) needs new data in order to accurately understand the rapid expansion of EM throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. In expanding this research landscape, we know that the most crucial body of knowledge comes from the people living through it. MediaJustice Fellow James Kilgore & Brian Dolinar give a thorough overview in Prison Legal News:
“When combined with the largest database of all, the stories of the lived experience of EM from thousands of people, we are finally beginning to establish a foundation of knowledge on this technology. Most importantly, we are starting to connect the dots among the sectors where EM proliferates: pretrial, immigration, post-prison and juvenile justice.”
