I can see that this seems to be US based for the foreseeable future.
While this is clearly the best 'bang for buck' in addressing an issue (USA: 22% of the world's prisoners), I wonder how this model, if successful, can be rolled out to other nations.
Fanciful thinking to apply this to China or NK work camps of course, but for AUS, EU etc., perhaps this can be used as a proof of concept, monitored and discussed in the relevant houses of parliament.

On a different note, this is a potential slippery slope in terms of freedoms. When cost to apply this technology falls, there is the danger of tracking device sentences to become longer and longer - 2 terms (of a far right government for example) could quickly legislate to the point at which people are tracked for much of their lives.
