“I think this issue is the old bracelet concept. As an individual who has operated the system for 10 years, I just would like to point out to my colleague from California that we are really talking about apples and oranges here. This is a great system. We have used it as an alternative to incarceration, but as far as I know they are being used for presentenced individuals, they are not for sentenced individuals, as an addendum to incarceration, not as a guarantee to come back, because there is that issue of processing that has been addressed again and again. We have used that very effectively in San Diego County and across California, but to use it in lieu of bonding, I think we have administrative problems.”
