Legal guarantees of the right to respect for private life during punitive execution by placement under electronic surveillance

Abstract

Placement under electronic surveillance is one of the alternatives developed to deal with the disadvantages of short- term custodial sentences. the advantage of this system is that it allows the convicted person to stay at home .but his movements are limited and monitored by bracelet which is attached to his wrist or ankle .this system includes restrictions and obligations that the subject must respect .which can affect and limit some of his freedoms which leads us to question on the  important legal guarantees devoted to the protection of the freedoms and privacy of convicted person .This research paper has concluded that this system respects constitutional  guarantees such as the protection of the sanctity of life . and physical safety insofar as it achieves punitive objectives such as public deterrence private and convict rehabilitation.
