“…In enforcing these conditions, PSAs extend probation (either literally or effectively) into the pretrial process. And although the experiences of people under pretrial supervision are understudied, research has found, for instance, that electronic monitoring interferes with defendants' ability to maintain employment and stable housing (Eife 2021, Kirk 2020. It is well established that current bail practices contribute to mass incarceration, both directly-via pretrial detention-and indirectly-by facilitating plea bargains that lead to prison sentences (Wiseman 2018); however, there is less recognition or understanding of the role of pretrial monitoring in shaping mass supervision in the United States (see McNeill 2018, Phelps 2017.…”

In this review of scholarship on bail and pretrial justice in the United States, we analyze how the field of bail operates (and why it operates as it does), focusing on its official and unofficial objectives, core assumptions and values, power dynamics, and technologies. The field, we argue, provides extensive opportunities for generating revenue and containing, controlling, and changing defendants and their families. In pursuit of these objectives, actors consistently generate harms that disproportionately affect low-income people of color and amplify social inequalities. We close with an analysis of political struggles over bail, including current and emerging possibilities for both reformist and radical change. In this, we urge scholars toward sustained engagement with people and organizations in criminalized communities, which pushes scholars to reconsider our preconceptions regarding safety, justice, and the potential for systemic change and opens up new avenues for research and public engagement.

“…The reach and stipulations of pretrial GPS supervision, however, extend beyond defendants. Pretrial GPS supervision will subject family members and victims to surveillance and restrictions (Eife, 2022;Ibarra & Erez, 2005), such as fear of harm arising from the disparities between surveillance expectations and an agency's policies and procedures (Ibarra et al, 2023).…”

“…Regarding the former, the goals of pretrial services programs are to maximize release from custody, court appearances, and public safety (Bechtel et al, 2017; Jones, 2013; Stevenson & Mayson, 2017). Yet, pretrial GPS supervision—an alternative to pretrial detention—is costly and may still produce harms similar to those experienced by defendants sitting in jail during the pretrial period, such as curtailing the presumption of innocence, housing instability, and job insecurity (Eife, 2022; Eife & Kirk, 2021; Holsinger & Holsinger, 2018; Lowder et al, 2021; Scott-Hayward & Fradella, 2019; St. Louis, 2022).…”

The application of global positioning system (GPS) technology as a pretrial diversion mechanism to monitor intimate partner and domestic violence (IPV/DV) cases has become increasingly common. As more jurisdictions implement GPS technology, there is a need to understand the workplace experiences of community corrections officers with this nascent supervision strategy. This qualitative case study draws upon the experiences gleaned from in-depth interviews with all the pretrial officers assigned to technology caseloads ( n = 8) in a single jurisdiction to explore prevailing occupational stress themes associated with GPS supervision for IPV/DV cases as a diversion from pretrial detention. The results reinforce and extend a range of well-established stressors in the extant literature related to pretrial officers managing a GPS caseload of IPV/DV defendants. The findings highlight that pretrial officers using GPS technology are expected to serve in other unique roles (e.g., critical educator, software engineer, data collection specialist, communication expert, and victim advocate) in the course of their duties that were unanticipated sources of occupational stress. Implications for policy and practice are discussed.
