How do house-arrest ankle bracelets work?

64 viewsOther

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?

Some of them have gps trackers. Most of them don’t. They come with a big modem looking thing that you connect to a landline (last I knew if you don’t have a landline phone already, they’ll make you get one). The range and times are set, and if your ankle bracelet shows out of range (from the modem) at the wrong time, you get a call from the DOC. If they don’t like your excuse, or you don’t answer the phone, you go to jail.
