Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sentence states that early programs were organized and run by private religious and charitable organizations. This is most commonly associated with the concept of halfway houses, which provide a transitional living environment for offenders re-entering society after incarceration. House arrest and electronic monitoring came into use much later as technology developed. Global Positioning System (GPS) monitoring is a specific type of electronic monitoring and is also a more recent development in the field. Therefore, A) Halfway houses is the best choice.
