Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Description
A major public safety dispute is unfolding in New Orleans. ASAP, the company that provides GPS ankle monitoring for many defendants in Orleans Parish, says the city owes millions of dollars in unpaid invoices and is warning it will begin withdrawing its monitoring services if the debt isn’t paid. Matt Dennis, Founder & Director of Enforcement for ASAPRelease.org, joins Newell to explain what it could mean for electronic monitoring, defendants currently wearing ankle monitors, public safety, and the city’s criminal justice system if the company follows through on its warning.
