NEW YORK - Armed guards stand watch 24 hours a day. Cameras record every move, and monitors alert authorities should the prisoner try to escape. This is Dominique Strauss-Kahn's new jail away from jail, after the former IMF leader charged with sexually assaulting a maid left a New York City jail for a posh and pricey house arrest. The plans hit a snag Friday when a tony Upper East Side apartment complex refused to accept the one-time French presidential candidate because of unwanted media attention. Instead, Strauss-Kahn was ensconced Saturday in a lower Manhattan high-rise within the New York Police Department's ring of steel, a network of private and police cameras. He's guarded by Stroz Friedberg, the same security firm that kept disgraced financier Bernard Madoff under surveillance ...
NEW YORK - Smiling faintly as he walked out of court, former IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn was released from house arrest Friday after prosecutors acknowledged serious questions about the credibility of the hotel maid who accused him of sexual assault. The charges against him stand - for now, at least. But weeks after saying it had a strong case that was only getting stronger, the district attorney's office was on the defensive. So was the housekeeper's lawyer, who continued to insist that Strauss-Kahn had violently abused the woman.

Europe support rising for Lagarde PARIS -- France's frank, hard- working and chic finance minister, Christine Lagarde, emerged Friday as Europe's likely choice to lead the International Monetary Fund.

The executive board, which will pick Strauss-Kahn's successor, held a preliminary discussion Friday at the IMF's headquarters in Washington. NEW YORK - Former IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn was released from jail Friday and will be held under house arrest near ground zero after the luxury apartment where he had arranged to stay fell th...

TULSA, Okla., March 16 /PRNewswire/ -- While Tulsa area courts have been using 24/7 alcohol monitoring anklets to monitor offenders since 2005, the Rogers County Felony Drug and DUI Courts are some of the first in the country to implement a new version of the technology, which includes both 24/7 alcohol testing and house arrest monitoring in the same anklet. The technology is called SCRAMx (for Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitor), and it includes an ankle bracelet, worn around- the-clock, that samples an offender's perspiration every 30 minutes in order to ensure compliance with court-ordered sobriety. The "new" part of the SCRAMx System is the addition of house arrest, or RF (radio frequency), monitoring, which allows officials to sentence offenders to home confinement and remote...
