Locking Them Up Is Way More Efficient

Unintended Consequences: The GPS-enabled monitors they strap on the ankles of high-risk convicts moved out of prison in California due to overcrowding in prisons have led to another problem: a flood of warnings flooding the agents with mostly meaningless information, to the point where they stop paying attention. And THAT has led to prisoners with dead batteries able to roam without monitoring, because the alerts of low or dead batteries were ignored in the stream of pointless alerts. This has national implications, because this proves that GPS monitoring as a solution for overcrowding in prisons is not only not a panacea, but has some serious problems that could make all of us less safe.
