- itsananderson 6y agoWhen applied for house arrest, ankle monitors are pretty expensive, with the expense borne by the person being monitored https://www.propublica.org/article/digital-jail-how-electronic-monitoring-drives-defendants-into-debt https://www.propublica.org/article/digital-jail-how-electron... Unless a different payment scheme were implemented for a cash bond alternative, poor defendants would still likely end up in jail due to inability to pay for their ankle monitors.
