Judges in Chicago have increasingly ordered criminal defendants placed into an electronic-monitoring program in lieu of jail, a move police officials blame for the surge in gun violence plaguing the city.
On Aug. 9, 43 people facing murder charges were enrolled in Cook County's electronic-monitoring program, a 40% increase from the same day last year. In addition, 160 people charged with robbery and 1,000 people charged with illegal gun possession are enrolled as of Aug. 9, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.
The Chicago Police Department has cited the increase in program participants who would otherwise be granted high bail or remanded to police custody for the spike in gunplay.

How’s that working out?
Electronic monitoring and social workers replacing cops, yeah that works, enjoy
The body count is 486 at present and the trend is for 538 by years end. The highest in 11 years. Someone is shot and killed every 11.32 minutes. I am betting that it will much closer to 600. Viva Chiraq.
Who exactly is doing the ‘monitoring’???
“Who exactly is doing the ‘monitoring’???”
That would be the Cook County Sheriffs Department run by Sheriff Tom Dart, which is a complete cluster****.

One shot dead every 11.32 minutes is 5 per hour. 120 per day.
Those numbers don’t look right to me.
Every11 hours 32 minutes
Correct. A typo on my part. Still an impressive #
