System dozoru elektronicznego w prawie karnym wykonawczym Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej

The subject of this article is the issue of electronic surveillance, which is more and more often used in Polish executive criminal law. It is a good institution both for the Polish prison system, because it significantly reduces the population of prisons, and on the other hand, also for convicts, because thanks to the electronic monitoring system, they can serve their sentences at liberty without losing contact with their families. The paper discusses the history of the institution, legal regulations, statistics, as well as the most important advantages and disadvantages of the electronic surveillance system.
