Electronic tagging

Electronic tagging is a way of keeping an eye on people who have been allowed to move around in the community while they are serving a sentence or awaiting trial without being in jail.

It is a small device that is attached to the person's wrist or ankle, which sends a signal to a computer. This signal tells the computer where the person is at all times, and allows the authorities to keep track of them.

The tag works by using GPS technology. It is like a mini-computer that can collect information about where the person wearing it is and sends it to a computer. It lets the authorities know if the person wearing it has left a specific area or if they are going somewhere they shouldn't be.

Usually, the people wearing electronic tags have been permitted to go outside during the day but have to return to their house or a designated place at night. If they break these rules, their tag will send an alert to the authorities, and they will face consequences.

Overall, electronic tagging is a way that allows people to serve their sentences while remaining in the community. It's an essential tool that helps the authorities to monitor people and ensure they don't cause further harm to society.
