Kate Weisburd discusses her article, The Carceral Home. As prison walls are replaced with parole and probation rules that govern every aspect of private life, invasive surveillance technologies are used to monitor intimate information. Where does that leave the private home's primacy as first among equals? Data collection, audio recording, and GPS technologies are expanded to punish people in open society. Professor Wesiburd explores how these issues interact with each other and complicate rehabilitation efforts and social welfare programs.
