Electronic Monitoring Hotspot Map

MediaJustice’s Challenging E-Carceration project has been researching national trends and local struggles involving electronic monitoring (EM) and other punitive technologies for several years. This map highlights our findings. Hover and click on states for information on how e-carceration is being implemented there, and how people are fighting to abolish it. You can read more about EM and COVID-19 in our special bibliography, or get more information from the complete list of MediaJustice’s publications on e-carceration. We also have a list of EM companies for your reference. If there is something in your community that should be added to the map, you can let us know by filling out our map intake form.

Post-Prison

The Oklahoma Department of Corrections’ GPS program for people coming out of prison imposes a number of onerous restrictions that actively impede the reentry process. Among them, participants are not allowed to operate a motor vehicle without express permission. They are also prohibited from securing loans for anything other than education and are prohibited from accessing social services as they are not allowed to apply for public, private or governmental assistance without express permission. Meanwhile, they are required to secure and maintain full-time employment within 2 weeks.
