The purposes of this research study were 1) to study the theoretic concepts regarding the custody of outside intimates; 2) to examine problems and difficulties regarding the custody of outside intimates; and 3) to seek solutions to problems and difficulties regarding the implementation of electronic monitoring device in the custody of outside intimates. The study was the qualitative one, in which an interview was employed. The interview contained open-ended questions, which were deemed flexible to various perspectives. The interview result was then logically analyzed in response to each research question. The results revealed that the use of electronic monitoring device is an effective solution to problems and difficulties regarding the custody and contributorily incurs a decrease in the numbers of intimates within the prison.
