If Oscar Gets House Arrest with Electronic Tag

Minister of Correctional Services, Sibusiso Ndebele, has recently launched a new programme designed to innovatively address overcrowding in South African prisons. His programme, adapted from a Brazilian project, aims to reduce prison overcrowding through the electronic tagging of parolees. Small electronic tags around the ankle, send a constant signal to a control room manned by Department of Correctional Services officials. Using technology similar to Google Earth, the officials can then track the movement of parolees to make sure they are not violating their individual parole conditions. Could this happen to Oscar Pistorius?
