 Electronic Monitoring of Home Confinement: Updates 
One of the key tasks of the Ministry of Public Security is to provide feasible solutions to the problem of prison overcrowding in Israel. As part of this goal, the Ministry continuously invests time and effort in developing innovative methods that will help meet the needs of the correction facilities in Israel.

Electronic monitoring of pre-trial detainees and prisoners on house arrest after being released on bail or on parole is one such efficient alternative to holding individuals in correctional facilities, enabling the Israel Police to monitor the whereabouts of the prisoners or detainees.
The E.M. program started in May 2005.

Following is the up-to-date information regarding the number of participants in the E.M. program:
(As of 9/10/2008)

Detainees     849
Prisoners      63
Total              912

To date, 2,511 people participated in the program, sparing the Israel Prison facilities 410,788 days of detention.
