This program, originally created in the late-1980s to help with jail overcrowding, has monitored over 300,000 people since its founding. The second of Cook County\u2019s electronic monitoring programs is the Home Confinement Unit run by the Adult Probation Department\u2019s Pretrial Services Division under the Office of the Chief Judge (OCJ). There is no public information available about the details of the Pretrial Service\u2019s Division\u2019s electronic monitoring program, which makes it impossible to analyze that program in any detail; our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/chicagocouncil.org\/staging\/1601\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/202109_10-Facts-EM-Cook-County-EM-FINAL-updated.pdf\">analysis<\/a>\u00a0provides a comprehensive evaluation of public data, focusing solely on the Sheriff\u2019s EM Program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Electronic monitoring is a form of incarceration, not an alternative \u2013 it requires people to wear radiofrequency (RF) or GPS devices and stay confined in their homes 24\/7.
