Project for monitoring anklets postponed

[sheenianni]

While the legal system in my country works mostly fine, there are still things that could be improved. One of the bigger issues is that we don't have a decent system to handle the less serious crimes - it's either probation or hard time in prison. A few years back, the government finally introduced the "house arrest" option, but it's still only a very small minority of criminals who get this opportunity.

To change that, the tracking anklets were supposed to be introduced next year. Unfortunately, due to some mess at the ministry, they can't agree on the company that would supply the anklets, so the whole project was postponed yet again.

Damn bureaucrats.

(And does every WC fanfic writer feel like they assumed an unnatural knowledge of the legal system and prison issues? Jut saying...)

Not unnatural, but certainly an interest in things I was never interested in before :-) I work next to the police electronic enforcement unit, and I was quite disappointed to learn that it's just the speed traps on the highways.
