Abstract: New technologies present opportunities to improve the manner in which the criminal justice system operates. One of the problems faced in the criminal justice system is the overcrowding in the prisons across the world. Through a literature review, this paper sought to investigate the available technologies that the Kenyan prisons can adopt to solve the current overcrowding situation. The technologies identified include the electronic monitoring through the use of global positioning and radio frequency systems, video technologies, and automated and integrated information system.
