This article tackles the configuration of the globalized risk society and its effects in the criminal-judicial order in Brazil. The rising of security guidelines, even with the mitigation of fundamental human rights, are problematized with the goal of reflecting the prison system and the surging of electronic monitoring as a condition of possibility for reducing the massive incarceration in the country. The problem that guides this investigation can su summarized in the following question: to what extent does electronic monitoring contribute to reducing the number of incarcerated people in Brazil? The employed method is the hypothetical-deductive one with bibliographic and document analysis techniques. As a result, the research found that the use of electronic monitoring, as shown by the statistics of the diagnosis made to the electronic monitoring policy in Brazil, represents an important measure for minimizing the effects of massive incarceration in the national penitentiary system.
