The aim of this article is to contribute to the debate in prison geography concerning the diffusion of the carceral beyond the institutions of confinement themselves. Geographers generally approach this diffusion from the angle of the homology between the prison and spaces which, like it, are characterized by the existence of a material enclosure. We show here that this diffusion must also be considered from the angle of the circulation of discourses and representations specific to the prison institution. Using empirical material from research carried out in France on an alternative to incarceration, placement under electronic surveillance (PSE), we show that the experience of those placed under electronic surveillance remains profoundly marked by the prison referent, even though the spatial framework in which they carry out their measure is very different from that of prison. Our interviews with these inmates lead us to conclude that the prison dimension of the PSE experience is particularly evident in the discourse addressed to inmates, and in the procedural acts they must perform throughout the duration of the measure.
