The Conservatives’ temptation to politicize the parole system
A probation officer demonstrates the use of a Personal Identification Device on his ankle at the Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General Corrections Branch in Surrey, British Columbia, Thursday, August 16, 2012. Correctional Service Canada plans to roll out electronic anklets to monitor parolees - even though its own pilot project found the devices did not work as hoped. The idea is to ensure that offenders follow the conditions of their release. A tiny proportion of parolees breach those conditions or reoffend, although the number has been getting smaller for years. A Correctional Service Canada study found the GPS anklets do not change offenders' behaviour, create more work for parole officers and have numerous technical problems - including false alarms and a tendency to show people to be somewhere they are not.Rafal Gerszak for The Globe and Mail
