No fun parolee devices

Since the US has the largest prison and parolee population in the world, it seems fitting that probation officers are looking for help from the latest in parolee-monitoring tech. The Orlando Sentinel visited the American Probation and Parole Association's Annual Convention and came back with a few devices that'll will guarantee to be the single most annoying thing in a parolee's life. Like SCRAM, (secure, continous, remote, alcohol, monitor) which is an ankle bracelet that measures the wearer's sweat to determine if he or she is drinking any alcohol. Since some parolees are on a zero-alcohol program, the bracelet continuously collects bio-information and sends it to an online site. Another of the convention's devices was the Robocuff, a voice-authentification system that tries to guarantee that the voice on the other end of the probation officer's line is really the actual parolee. Since parolees are often under house arrest, or have a certain curfew, this stops relatives/friends from taking probation calls while the parolee's out partying it up. Note to self: avoid prison.
