Electronic monitoring is used in France as a penal sentence, which implies for offenders to stay at home during a certain period of the day. Places where electronically monitored offenders live play an active part in the sentence and, as they depend a lot on the socioeconomic status of each offender, reproduce inequalities among them. Two kinds of inequalities can be envisioned: material (here surface-based) and statutory inequalities. On the one hand, surface-based inequalities encompass variations with the size and architecture of the apartment, the house or the bedroom of the social institution where the offender is monitored, strengthening the feeling of being imprisoned at home. On the other hand, statutory inequalities refer to the status of the offender who can be monitored at his own home or at someone else’s dwelling. This paper argues that whereas superficial inequalities can be counterbalanced, statutory inequalities make a real difference between offenders who can afford to be monitored at home and those who cannot.
