my understanding is most cities lack resources to actually monitor the electronic things,

so usually its after a new crime is commited, the police stories read like:

"X suspected of serious crime violated his electoronic home monitoring Y amount of times, we rearrested him during the act of a seperate crime"

Is the cost of monitoring an inmate more, or less than the cost to monitor the electronic things?

i would assume tracking the electronic devices are cheaper

if both options arent funded/run appropriatly public safety is harmed either way
