Sumario:The article looks at the policy of electronic monitoring of people in the criminal execution phase in the State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, seeking to answer the following research question: to what extent does electronic monitoring of people represent, in the analyzed context, an alternative to over-incarceration? Based on qualitative research guided by interviews with civil servants of the Penal Institutes of Electronic Monitoring of the State of Rio Grande do Sul, it seeks to show that, however much electronic monitoring is rhetorically justified as an alternative to the scenario of over-incarceration experienced in Gaucho soil, its operability points to a dimension of reinforcement of penal control over the monitored subjects. This is because the monitoring of official data on the evolution of incarceration rates and the advancement of electronic monitoring programs points to the growth in the number of people arrested, concomitantly with the spread of the use of electronic anklets, mostly applied to people condemned to the semi-open regime.
