"TrackerPal is a battery-powered ankle bracelet with pinpoint GPS positioning and a built-in cell phone that is in 24/7 contact with a monitoring center. If the battery is getting too low, the monitoring center will call with a reminder to either recharge it immediately or prepare to be visited by your case agent who by the way knows exactly where you are. If you try to shoot it off, saw it off, burn it off or cut it off, a 95-decibel alarm will sound about the same time you realize it's virtually impossible to penetrate the reinforced steel cable. If you try to turn off the cell phone, you can't, and it's a speaker phone, which means anyone in the vicinity will hear the agent when he announces, "you are a sex offender and need to leave the park immediately." TrackerPal is OnStar with a conscience. "It's Orwellian, it's a virtual prison," said Sibbett. "It's what the criminal justice system has been looking for for years — and it took a medical company to put it together."
