Summary/Abstract: The paper is the outcome of extensive research carried out with regard to a technology applied on a daily basis by officers of the Prison Service, i.e. a technology that facilitates the execution of custodial sentences through various means of electronic supervision. The goal of the detailed enquiries made into the subject matter has been an attempt to characterise the idea of the electronic supervision system and to establish its potential and capabilities, as well as its drawbacks. The key research issue has been to provide the answer to the question of the current state of both theory and practice of applying the electronic supervision system in the daily work of Prison Service officers, and to verify the hypothesis of whether such systems that are currently in use ought to be modified, and if so – in what ways.
