Everyday life enforced. Life experiences of offenders sentenced to wearing electronic tags

By Mathias Dambuyant

Offenders sentenced to wearing an electronic tag have their everyday life imposed on them. By wearing this tag monitoring their movements fitted on one of their limbs, they have to go to work and return home according to a precise schedule. Thus, their punishment consists very much in their everyday life. However, by turning routine into constraint, the tag distorts the perceptions and experiences of the offenders.
