Serving sentences by electronic monitoring

An arrangement introduced in 2008 that can be used for convicts with an unconditional sentence, which means that either all or part of their sentence can be served with an ankle tag outside a prison institution. Can be used for convicts with an unconditional sentence of up to four months (for the duration of the sentence), or for prisoners who have up to four months remaining until their expected release on parole (partial use of electronic monitoring). Also known as “home detention with an ankle tag”.
