What Deterrent is Electronic Monitoring?

It appears to be none. 8 years for man who robbed 3 people downtown — while on parole AND electronic monitoring.

Devin Wilder, 32, had been on parole for five weeks when he was charged with selling narcotics in October 2019. A judge released him on his own recognizance.

Just eight days later, police arrested him again after he allegedly sold heroin to an undercover cop. Another judge released him on a new recognizance bond and ordered him to go on electronic monitoring.

Wilder never showed up for court after that, according to records. Although, he did take some time to rob three people on November 13, 2019, prosecutors alleged.

So if they are committing crimes while on electronic monitoring, exactly what is it supposed to be doing?

But hey, keeping felons in jail is unfair. Or something.
