Ireland starts 12-month pilot tagging 50 released prisoners to ease overcrowding, raising safety and oversight concerns.
Ireland has launched a 12-month pilot program to electronically tag 50 released prisoners, marking the first privatization of a criminal justice function in the country.
Managed by a private company, the system aims to ease severe prison overcrowding, with facilities operating up to 50% above capacity.
Concerns have emerged over accountability and response protocols if tagged individuals breach conditions, particularly regarding unclear responsibilities between the private operator and law enforcement.
Questions remain about oversight, real-time communication, and public safety, with critics highlighting risks from similar privatized systems abroad.
The program’s long-term effectiveness is under scrutiny.
