Projet de loi portant des mesures afin de réduire la surpopulation dans les prisons et introduisant l'impossibilité de principe d'exécuter la surveillance électronique au lieu où la victime réside.

This is a Belgian federal bill, introduced in the Chamber of Representatives, that proposes measures to reduce overcrowding in prisons. It also introduces a general rule that electronic monitoring of a convicted or detained person cannot be carried out at the place where the victim lives. The aim appears to be balancing prison capacity pressures with the protection of victims. Based on metadata only; the full legislative text was not reviewed. Prison inmates and those subject to electronic monitoring would be affected by the proposed changes. Victims of offences, especially those living near monitored individuals, would be directly protected by the proposed restriction. Prison administrators and the justice system may also see operational changes.
