Well, almost. Home curfews are in chaos as hundreds of criminals are simply ripping off their tags.

The Home Detention Scheme for criminals is in chaos after a doubling in the number of criminals who have escaped surveillance by removing their electronic tags.

Ministry Of Justice figures recently released show that tags were ripped off 1,942 times last year, compared to just 1,073 in 2005.

Failures in this system include offenders melting tags with cigarette lighters and the fact that the overall system is reliant on the 02 mobile phone system means that it crashes every time 02's network fails.This allows criminals to leave their home, or bail hostel, without being monitored.

It has also been recently discovered that the tags won't work if the wearer is in a cast iron bath. Some 2,700 offenders, including those linked to terrorism, are currently tagged.
