A high-tech ankle bracelet comes to Kansas, as courts in Sedgwick, Harvey, Butler, and Reno counties are now using an ankle bracelet that actually samples a DUI offender's sweat, continuously monitoring for alcohol comsumption. 

It's known as SCRAM: the Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitor; they're made in Denver, and they sample the subject's perspiration every half hour 24 hours a day. The system has already monitored more than 100 offenders in south-central Kansas. 

The program is managed by Wichita-based Premiere Monitoring Solutions. SCRAM bracelets are now used in programs in 45 states. Every year, there are 17,000 DUI arrests in Kansas.
