How does the gps monitoring help parolees?

Answer 1

It DOESN'T help parolees, it helps law enforcement by tracking the one on parole so that law enforcement can find them. The Parole wears an ankle bracelet that contains a GPS receiver and a miniature transmitter. The transmitter works in one of several ways depending upon the brand and reason for use. Each is set with a 'boundary' limit of +/- X feet -- and if a parolee goes outside those fixed coordinate, the receiver automatically sounds an alarm. Many modern devices can be pre-programed to cover a route to or from work, or to take and pick up their son/daughter from day care and an alarm signal if the parolee is at one location along the route too long, that is, if he is in i on an alcohol related crime, if he enters a liquor store, or a bar which is along his route to and from work, an alarm will sound. They can also be configured to the irregular shape of an apartment Other brans broad cast a location upon receiving a command to it from a central location. And this can be set to be an absolute random time, or one every Y minutes so the whereabout of a parolee and be tracked without the parolee knowing when it will track him. Cities with large budgets and data storage facilities, and don't be surprised if small rural counties do not have 24/7 coverage with reporting every Z minutes where Z is
Originally RAM was so expensive that 1 Meg cost over a million dollars, which is why he original DOS would never allow you to access more than 2 MEGS of RAM -- the thought of RAM being so in-expensive was incomprehensible. Some Ancke Bracelets, will store u0 to 1 gig of ram and upon command burst send the entire Data held in RAM or only certain portions of it for a requested period of time. Many will hold this information in RAM and signal 'police central' when it is 80% full so that the next request for a standard dump will instead bring a full burst dump of data and dump RAM to Zero so start gain - one of the many uses of a non DOS or upgraded DOS system is the abiility to store more than 2 MEGs of data in RAM.

So, it doesn't help the Parolee, it helps the POLICE TRACK THE PROLEE and there are many different methods in use. Not everywhere can receive GPS signals, and this can, in some models send a tone or beep for the parolee to call the station within Xprime minutes or have various consequences imposed upon them, inclusing revocation of parole.
