Known as SCRAM® II (Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitor), the bracelets are a high-tech monitoring tool that actually samples a person’s sweat at least once an hour, 24 × 7, to monitor for alcohol consumption. Currently used on DUI, domestic violence and other alcohol-triggered offenders in 44 states, the bracelets are designed specifically for long-term alcohol monitoring of offenders required to remain sober, either as part of a court order, an alcohol offender management program or an addiction treatment plan. According to AMS, the new generation of the system includes a smaller, lighter and more comfortable bracelet that will be less obtrusive and far more comfortable for long-term wear.

Alcohol Monitoring Systems says that the system has conducted more than 101 million alcohol tests on just over 53,000 offenders since launching to the corrections market in April of 2003, with more than 7,000 units monitoring offenders on any given day nationwide.
