Is there a GPS in them? How do they know where you are supposed to be and if you stray from that location? Is there a grace period for you to get back inside that location?

My experience in my US city, the big warning was to ensure the bracelet was kept charged and penalties would occur if you allow it to die. No home base, WiFi or phone line was required. Work and school time sheets had to be confirmed by my boss, then submitted to the house of corrections. I was told don’t even take the trash out, go to the mailbox or go on the porch. Idk if that type of thing was monitored closely though because when I told the corrections guard who was preparing my group for release, that HOC lost my possessions and I didn’t have a house key to get into my house immediately when I got home, he said “it’s fine,” like it wasn’t going to be an issue if I hang outside my house while I wait for someone to arrive with a spare key. So who knows.
I have a friend outside of Denver who works in Corrections, and was tasked (2022) with testing out a new wrist bracelet at the time, that looked like an odd smart watch. Not sure if that has taken effect since then.
