The number of people in electronic restraint has skyrocketed this year, including suspects in murder, manslaughter and serious violence, according to a report by the Knesset's Research and Information Department, which was prepared for a discussion today (Tuesday) in the Joint Committee on Science and Constitution.
This means that more prisoners who may be dangerous, and therefore detained until the end of the proceedings, sit in their home instead of in the detention center.
In some offense counts, the number of electronic restraint supervisors more than doubled in 2020.
According to the data, in 2019, 46 detainees were supervised by electronic restraint until the end of the proceedings for offenses of serious bodily harm.
This year, their number jumped to 109.
It also shows that while last year there were four detainees charged with murder who were supervised by electronic restraint, this year their number has jumped to ten - more than twice.
The number of detainees in domestic violence cases referred by the Electronic Supervision Court also jumped from 26 to 63 - a 2.4-fold increase.

The electronic restraint is intended to allow a detainee to conduct the legal proceedings when he is not in prison.
However, the report raises significant issues, according to which detainees in murder and violence offenses receive electronic restraint even though they are not supposed to.
The technology on which the surveillance is based does not make it possible to know the location of the offender who has left the place where he should be, unless he is there.
A good example of this can be found in the recent indictments filed against four defendants who worked for a company that provides a technical service to the prison service in operating the electronic surveillance system.
According to the indictments, they received sums of money for actions to disrupt supervision so that detainees could leave their homes without the computer system alerting them.
The report was commissioned at the request of MK Einav Kabala (Blue and White), chair of the Joint Committee on the Science and Constitution Committee, which will discuss the issue today. "The discussion continues as a previous discussion held in August on the quota of electronically supervised supervisors," MK Kabala told Walla!
NEWS.
"The data show that among the supervised detainees there are also suspects in murder, manslaughter and serious violence. The question of the danger of the supervised is a question that must not be ignored and must be given due weight, especially during this period when we are witnessing an increase in domestic violence."

MK Kabala added that “the issue is getting a second validity given the fact that the technology on which the oversight is based does not allow knowing the location of the overseer who left the oversight place.
In light of this, I asked within the joint committee, to monitor the application, taking into account the existing dangers as well as the technology on which
the "Maoz" unit headquarters at the IPS, which supervises detainees in electronic restraint, Lt. Gondar Alona Djerzewski, is activated. In an interview with Walla!
NEWS last year that "anyone who has worked in a prison knows that detention has damages and consequences. Therefore, in some cases it is possible to convert the detention into house arrest, with Arabs and an electronic handcuff on the leg."
She said, "There are always Arabs in the picture, family members or friends who are Arabs in front of a court and then not only the supervisor is at home all day but also his evening with him, kind of imprisoned."
She even noted that "from time to time we get calls to us at the control center that a mother or spouse tells us 'let's take him, I can no longer', and these are people who did want to be Arabs and signed - but life is a little more complicated."

The Maoz unit, which in 2015 moved from the Ministry of Homeland Security to full responsibility for the prison service, oversees several types of populations: detainees until the end of the proceedings and defendants whose court has ruled that the legal proceedings will be conducted in an electronically supervised detention alternative. That will be electronically handcuffed as part of the conditions of release.
This allows a certain degree of freedom for the supervised, and on the other hand the ability to closely monitor the prison service, especially in light of the congestion in Israeli prisons and the reduction in the living space of prisoners in recent years.
By definition, a supervisor who violates his detention conditions returns to prison immediately.
If he was released six months ago and was due to finish with the restraint in a month, he would want to re-serve in prison all six months he was with the restraint.
