Summary/Abstract: New technologies develop very fast in almost every area of human life, including law. People have already accepted technology in civil law (connected to payments and deals) or in administrative law (e.g. in connection with offices), but there is also another branch that needs effective adaptation of technologies: executive law, which is focused on administering punishment, and administering punishment encroaches on the very basic constitutional laws, for instance, dignity and freedom. Electronic surveillance, which is the subjects of consideration in this article, could possibly become easier, more productive, and humanitarian form of executing prison sentences. So the question is, do we need technology in administering punishment, and is electronic surveillance really an institution of the future?
