> Nowadays, even probation officers struggle to get clear answers about whether or not tags have been fitted. Several recently released prisoners told me that their probation officers had asked them whether they had been fitted with a tag. How are they supposed to keep tabs if they don’t know this basic information?

> Serco, which took over the electronic monitoring contract in May, say they ‘have been working hard to reduce the number of people waiting to have a tag fitted’. They insist they are prioritising cases ‘based on risk profiles.’ 

> But ‘working hard’ isn’t enough: ex-prisoners, who potentially pose a danger to the public, are not being tagged.
