"The nascent brave new world embodied in the sweat patch or electronic
ankle bracelets renders visible how the macro-medium of transcarceration
interlocks the political rationalities of public social provision and
criminal justice in ways that are unjust and likely to reinforce structures
of exclusion. These are technologies especially adapted for continuous
monitoring, producing infinite seas of data on which enclaved islands
peopled by similarly dangerous individuals float. Like Kafka's
writing-torture machine in the penal colony, they are technologies of
inscription administered by tyrants who seem barely cognizant of their
effects on the lived realities of people whose stories they overwrite."
Nancy D Campbell, "Suspect Technologies: Scrutinizing the Intersection of
Science, Technology, and Policy," Science Technology and Human Values,
30:3, Summer 2005, 374 - 402
