    ABSTRACT: Throughout the world, since 1980s, home detention with electronic monitoring has been implemented as an alternative form of sentencing in both pretrial and post imprisonment stages of judicial process in the case of diverse groups of detainees such as juveniles, drugs offenders, traffic offenders, property offenders, political detainees, etc. In the literature, although there exist studies on the other cases, there is not any study focuses on the case of political detainees in home confinement with electronic monitoring. Hence, the current study aims to inquire into the subjective experiences of political detainees who were sentenced to home confinement with electronic monitoring in Turkey. The main research questions of the current study are how tagged electronic clamp affect both body image and bodily integrity of detainees and how the representation of the home in the mind of political detainees transform during the home confinement. To qualitatively explore these questions, eight students as political detainees in Turkey, aged between 20-27, experiencing total duration of home confinement between 33 and 75 days, were interviewed. Thematic analysis was applied in data analysis. Five main themes were revealed. Themes were identified as a) home confinement as a trying experience, b) loss of safe and private space, c) transformation in the representation of home, d) bodily experiences, e) agency becoming an issue. The findings illustrated that, in home incarceration with electronic monitoring, as a peculiar kind of captivity, political detainees encountered several troubles, experienced distinct kinds of deprivations, and were exposed to a number of violations of human rights through intrusive practices under constant control and surveillance, which focused on detainees’ body and home. Moreover, transformations in both body image and the representation of home were experienced. Aforementioned findings were discussed in the light of the psychoanalytic theory. Strengths, limitations, and clinical implications of the study were discussed with making some suggestions for future studies.
