The bracelet is a sign that the released inmate is not quite released. Usually, the released inmate begins in a halfway house. After being there for a couple of weeks, the inmates that have proven they have a place to live, a job and the ability to begin paying the halfway house.their weekly amount (1/3 of your gross pay) will they be permitted to go on house arrest. The bracelet tethers the inmate to the house and perimeter and can only leave to go to work, back to the halfway house and shurch. No where else, and the bracelet ensures that. If you violate while on a bracelet, you are likely to do the remaider of the sentence behind the wall.
