First there s the actual monitoring device itself. It’s a GPS bracelet, capable of reporting a detainee’s position with the same accuracy of a car navigation system. The GPS device is screwed into the bracelet with a specialized tool, then the screws are sealed with tamper-evident tape. Finally, a device inside the bracelet will alert authorities if anyone tries to remove it.
“It’s clear if you cut this off, you’re tampering with the equipment,” says Carmen Ruffin, executive director of the sheriff’s office’s Community Corrections program. “The GPS bracelet is emitting information every minute.”
Watching of all those detainees is a multi-step process. The first layer is Track Group, a private monitoring company which works out of a headquarters in the Chicago suburbs. It’s the first spot where any abnormalities, ranging from detainees with low batteries, to strap tampering, to an inmate leaving his home without permission, will be detected.

Waterford Council of Trade Unions (WCTU) is calling on the government to reopen the Waterford-Wexford rail line.
The local trade union council has put up posters around the city in an effort to highlight the need for rail connectivity.
Last September marked the 10th anniversary of the closure of the service.
WCTU says the criteria used to determine the need for rail networks in the South East were ‘short-sighted’ and ‘based on a business case rather than on a public service one’.
The group said since its closure the need for the resumption of the South East service has only amplified, citing the carbon emissions, Brexit and a changing work environment among some of the reasons it should be reinstated.
