The article analyzes the connections between electronic monitoring devices and prison, focusing on the impacts of tracking systems on the lives of monitored persons. The text is based on the analysis of legal documents, interviews and field research conducted between 2015 and 2018 with individuals submitted to electronic monitoring in the states of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. The first movement of the article presents the development of the electronic monitoring policy in Brazil, concomitant with the increase of the country’s prison population. Following, some of the interfaces established between prison and electronic supervision are investigated. Finally, the third movement analyzes the political dimensions of electronic monitoring and the subjectivation processes triggered by them. In general, the text is motivated by the interest on the current transformations operated by the power of punishing, as well as the re-articulation of the strategies of conducts conduction mobilized by new control technologies.
