So you are saying that essentially the benefit comes from the interaction this technology allows between the parole officer and the offender, because unless the offender is wearing a bracelet, if he or she steps into a zone they're not supposed to be in, no one will know, and the parole officer won't be able to intervene. So this is really about strengthening that bond between the parole officer and the offender. Is that what it is?
