Ankle bracelets are wearable devices often used for monitoring individuals under house arrest or parole. They typically consist of a strap that fits around the ankle and a small electronic unit that tracks the wearer’s location using GPS technology. This allows law enforcement to ensure compliance with legal restrictions. These devices can also be used in various settings, such as for tracking individuals with mental health issues or juvenile offenders. Ankle bracelets provide a way to supervise individuals while allowing them to maintain some level of freedom, as they can move within designated areas.
