The Rise of Immigrant E-Carceration

Julie Pittman*

This Note challenges the increasingly normalized
characterization of ankle monitors as a positive alternative to
detention. Although ankle monitors have been subject to some public
criticism, advocates on both sides of the aisle have increasingly
pointed to ankle monitors as a more humane, cost-effective alternative
to detention. In comparison to immigration detention or refoulement,
ankle monitors are clearly the lesser evil. Yet this Note argues that the disadvantages of ankle monitors cannot be so easily dismissed. By
disentangling the circumstances in which ankle monitors are used, this
Note documents the harms that follow these devices across contexts.
The Note then argues that meaningful alternatives to detention should
not include ankle monitoring. The Note concludes by exploring both
legal avenues to resist ankle monitoring and alternatives to detention
that do not include ankle monitoring at all.

Ankle monitors, on the other hand, “achieve[] near perfect
surveillance” by tracking an immigrant’s every move at every moment with GPS technology.
