In this session, we will examine the various ways that technology recreates carceral systems beyond the borders of jails and prisons. These technologies include ankle shackles that monitor location and blood alcohol content, voice verification, and facial recognition check-ins. Often marketed as bold reforms, these technologies are violent replacements for incarceration in the criminal and immigration detention contexts. Our speakers will outline the key corporate and government players in "alternatives to incarceration," the impacts these systems have on people, and the movements to stop them.
