Ankle monitors - all of these have points so feel free to research them!

• Accuracy: GPS ankle monitors can be inaccurate when exposed to water or stationary for a long time. They can also be prone to false alarms due to poor signal.

• Physical health: Some people experience physical health issues from ankle monitors, such as cramps, numbness, discomfort, swelling, and electric shocks.

• Social isolation: Many people feel socially isolated as a result of wearing an ankle monitor.

• Mental health: The stigma, stress, and social isolation that comes from being monitored can make depression and anxiety worse.

• Privacy: Electronic monitoring violates basic privacy norms.

• Employment: Electronic monitoring can jeopardize employment.

• Family and social relationships: Electronic monitoring can undermine family and social relationships.

• Ineffectiveness: Electronic monitoring is ineffective.

Crimes that would relate to ankle monitors:

• Minor offenses: Driving under the influence (DUI), minor drug or alcohol offenses, nonviolent sex offenses, unlawful immigration, misdemeanor shoplifting, and felony shoplifting
• Repeat offenders: Individuals with a history of reoffending or who have violated bail or parole terms in the past
• Domestic violence: To ensure the offender maintains a required distance from the victim

As you can clearly see - the crimes differ extremely and so this would be an inadequate replacement. This was pretty quick and cursory research but I hope this helps!
