As educator, author, and activist James Kilgore brilliantly shows, these rapidly spreading reforms largely fall under the heading of \"e-carceration\"--a range of punitive technological interventions, from ankle monitors to facial recognition apps, that deprive people of their liberty, all in the name of ending mass incarceration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eE-carceration can block people's access to employment, housing, healthcare, and even the chance to spend time with loved ones.
