Cheap and ubiquitous GPS allows us to eliminate the guesswork from catching repeat offenders. Anyone convicted of robbery or assault is tagged with an ankle monitor. Any time a crime is committed, it's checked against the GPS records of criminals.
The social stigma of something like that seems like you're basically throwing away any hope of rehabilitation, but it's hardly as if the US is much good at that anyhow.
not true! sure you know they've stolen, but now they can't get away with it. This makes them more trustworthy, negating stigma.
They can't get away with robbery. There are ways to defect in the prisoner's dilemma that are less overt. The reason people don't like to hire convicts isn't because of anything that would be prevented by an anklet.
