The day ago Assistant Justice Minister Yuri Kalinin said that he would soon own home can virtually replace prison for thousands of citizens.
This is a house arrest that the de jure already exists, but in practice is rarely used. The reason is just the absence of a mechanism. But the gathering of many questions: how to control household barman?
But, as said Yuri Kalinin, the end of this year, a similar mechanism may occur. Now the Ministry of Justice and the Interior Ministry just develop an appropriate law. He argues that to monitor home detainees and prisoners, in addition to imprisonment, without her would be deprived of all means of audio and video recordings, and in addition with the help of electronic bracelets that are connected to GPS and GLONASS.
It Yuri Kalinin asked not to confuse two quite different things: the virtual house arrest and confinement, which came into force this year. Under house arrest or charge suspects accused, in other words, people who have not yet handed down a verdict. But because of any reason why they should be kept under control. Now these citizens are in jail only because the law enforcement agencies still do not know how to look after them in the wild. Perhaps soon discrepancy is resolved. And if the person convicted, then the period of house arrest would be counted.
