How Does a House Arrest Ankle Bracelet Work?

What Is House Arrest?
-
A house arrest is an alternative form of incarceration in which the prisoner serves his or her sentence while in the confines of his or her home. House arrest is utilized in few cases. These cases usually involve a low degree of seriousness; thus, crimes such as murder and manslaughter usually do not qualify for consideration of house-arrest sentencing.
House Arrest Monitoring
-
House-arrest monitoring is achieved through the usage of an ankle bracelet. The bracelet is attached to the prisoner's ankle at the commencement of the sentence and remains throughout the duration of the time served. The bracelet contains an electronic signal, similar to a geographic positioning system, which tracks the whereabouts of the wearer. In the event the convicted person travels outside of the confinement area, the bracelet automatically will send a signal to the police department.
Consequences of a Breach of House Arrest
-
When a convicted person breaches the terms of the house arrest by traveling outside the confinement zone, that person is essentially "escaping" from prison. Such behavior results in serious results. Frequently, the person will be sent directly to prison to serve the remaining amount of his or her sentence. The consequence of a breach of house arrest is a determination for the presiding judge.
