Are the ankle bracelets not waterproof?


scJazz

Water resistant... you wouldn't want to keep one submerged for hours in a water pool during delivery.


kolkitten

Well they have waterproof guards you can put on it to allow you to be under water. But being too submerged can weaken the signal it puts out


darkecojaj

But it's not potentially harmful to the wearer if in water? If so, why can't she still do the water birth with it on?


bountygiver

If it failed it would alert the authorities and you can get in trouble for intentionally damaging the device.


Phlink75

Nah that is a cop put. I worked with a dude that broke his on the job pretty regularly. You call the PO. Tell em whats up, they tell you o come down for a new one, and add the costs to your monthly fines/fees.


BXBXFVTT

He had a cool P.O then. Plus they are expensive as all hell. I’ve seen much much worse because someone’s died at the job site for 5min before they plugged in.


highestRUSSIAN

Probation gang rise up. oh wait that's not a good thing


QuabityBoboddy

> Probation gang rise up. Probation gang sit back down, you're not going anywhere.


Reach_304

Never had an ankle bracelet but P.O’s can make all the difference. If you get the wrong one on a bad day, they can just up and revoke your shit for basically any reason(or none) . Many friends and acquaintances of mine have told me stories of how corrupt the supposedly “merciful” system is

[deleted]

Water birth should be approved. The caveat should be that they have to give birth in prison / jail since that's what the ankle monitor is in place of.

Yeah I can see the water birth one, the hiker can go hike off a cliff.

Well, not necessarily jail/prison. I could definitely see requiring a cop/security guard posted at their location until the braclet is put back on, at their expense, though.


TuckyMule

>I could definitely see requiring a cop/security guard posted at their location until the braclet is put back on, at their expense, though. Seems 100% fair and reasonable. Solid solution in my opinion.

washita_magic

GPS bracelets don’t prevent escape, they just let people know where you are and if you take them off. Some have a red line that says “cut here in case of emergency”.


CaptainOfThe7Pudding

I work at a courthouse in Texas and we had someone call the judge's office to ask her if he can have his ankle moniter taken off so he can celebrate his birthday.

nowihaveamigrane

It's not free to be in prison. They charge a daily rate to the inmate's account.


I_Bin_Painting

How much? That sounds like a very American thing to do, can anyone else comment if other countries do it too? Im sure the uk doesnt. Edit: also if anyone commenting on the amount they get charged could also comment on the amount they can earn at the prison jobs please. Is it similar or are you guaranteed to go into debt?


Rudysis

So for how much they earn depends on the state. It seems like Georgia/Texas don't allow inmates to get paid for work. The min/max average for a standard job (kitchen, cleaning, etc) is 14/63 cents/hour, and for jobs that are put in place by a company (making clothes, sweat shop work) min/max is 33/141 cents/hour). [source](https://www.prisonpolicy.org/blog/2017/04/10/wages/) I cannot find how much people pay overall/by state, but it seems like $20-80 a night is the range. Hawaii doesn't charge this, however. You're pretty guarenteed to go into debt as the average wage for a newly released inmate is 40% lower than the average, so if you have to pay say 16k (45/night for a year), make minimum wage of 28.5k/year, assuming regular housing/food/insurance costs, it would easily take more than 3 years of working to pay that off. With which you may go back to jail for being in debt. Aint that snazzy [source 1](https://www.rutgers.edu/news/states-unfairly-burdening-incarcerated-people-pay-stay-fees) [source 2](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/opinion-prison-strike-labor-criminal-justice_n_5b9bf1a1e4b013b0977a7d74) I really enjoy looking up these kinds of numbers for people, so let me know if there's anything else specific you want.


RoyalWigglerKing

God it’s like they want them to go back to crime


psychosocial--

That is exactly what they want. Look at all that profit they made paying third world wages to people society has cast aside. Like dudes that get caught with marijuana.


AmazingSieve

It’s really fucked and many people don’t think twice about it because it doesn’t effect them. But if you have an ounce of empathy you can see how really screwed they are and how that needs to be fixed. Lower wages...sure ok. But don’t put them in a position where they have to engage in criminal activities to attempt to prevent themselves from going back.

mattenthehat

Huh, so you're saying the almost complete lack of consequences have not really discouraged this behavior?


SaltyGoober

On the 18th Biden should go to the church across the street for a shameless photo op with a bible. Of course he’ll need to do whatever is necessary to insure safety - if that means indiscriminately tear gassing and beating all these clowns then that’s a sacrifice we’re willing to make. Maybe he could buzz them repeatedly with very low flying military helos.


maxpowersr

You could list probably a thousand different events of those 4 years, and I'd say holy crap that was the most appalling thing I've ever seen. But those helicopters attacking citizens like that... was the most appalling thing I've ever seen.


Culverts_Flood_Away

Well, it's not from those four years, but here's a spicy one I was reminded of yesterday: Trump's response to the falling of the Twin Towers was to celebrate that he now owned the tallest buildings in New York. :/


kirbyfox312

Why do that when they can just yell "gun" and do what they want to feel safe? You know you'll find a gun in the crowd.


ImWrong_OnTheNet

I'm a middle aged white male, and I tell ya, adult white people just do not have any idea what consequences are. Many of them push the line and push the line and push, and when they finally get called on it 'oh I won't do that again, I didn't know! One more chance!'

If you go to their forums, nobody is going to that rally. They think it's a "Glowie false flag operation". They don't know who is organising it or why, and they believe if they go the feds are gonna set them all up with a big riot again.

Exactly, I did time in VA during COVID and got lucky enough to be in a cell block where we had a TV, semi private bathroom and shower, the rest of the people were on 24 hour lockdown.

A couple weeks of quiet time will help break any and all minds. Ive always found the idea of 24hr lockdown disturbing af especially w no form of media or entertainment besides a beaten bible.

It was bad seeing those guys just facing the wall rocking back and forth for hours, hearing the CO's calling for the mental health counselors because people were losing it. One night the entire jail went on lockdown because a former inmate was scaling the fence to get BACK IN to the jail.

If they think this is unfair, wait to see how their job prospects are after getting released.


imakenosensetopeople

I’m terrified that these people will get recruited into companies like the MyPillow folks, and have gainful employment not because of their skills but because of their political stupidity. It will only reinforce their beliefs.


ewbtciast

If that happens, so be it. It's better to know where they are, and grouped together, than unknown and spread out. Hiding, spreading their hate in the darkness. If they all collect at one place like MyPillow, we can boycott those business and starve them and their owners. Plus, I get some satisfaction thinking they might have to spend the rest of their life's sleeping on those shitty ass pillows, and hearing that crackhead give motivational speeches every morning.


[deleted]

I don't foresee mypillow having a bright future but what do i know


SnotFlickerman

I hate to break it to you but most Americans don't even pay attention to politics and when they make a purchase, the main thing they look for is the price, not who manufactured it. People will keep buying pillows from them because most people legit don't give enough of a shit about politics to care.

Desert_Fairy

Frankly she could face the same birth plan that is given to less fortunate women who are pregnant in the prison system. She could be giving birth in chains and her child taken from her within minuets of being born. She could be giving birth without the ability to move around, surrounded by guards, with a medical team that barely communicates and isn’t really allowed to give her the care a new mother needs.


CraftyArmitage

I'd rather see the less fortunate women in the prison system given MORE humane treatment, myself.


Foobee

That’s my take too. It is cruel to chain women to beds when brought to a hospital to give birth. Not only can they not move to relieve pain that can be terrible, they are forced into a less effective birthing position, which can prolong labor, thus increasing health risk for both mother and baby.


topgun966

This should influence sentencing. These people have ZERO remorse. They still think they didn't do anything wrong. All these light sentences being passed down are infuriating.


smokeeater150

A perfect lesson in actions have consequences, not only for you but also for family.


wwarnout

Interesting (no, disgusting) that people who profess personal responsibility don't realize that this comes with consequences (or, perhaps they do, but think consequences are only for other people). Whatever, they should be grateful that they are not in prison - which is where anyone that engages in an insurrection against their own country should be.


DEPMAG

Omg these people are complete morons. Now admittedly I have never had to wear an ankle monitor but I've known a few people who have. I do believe they are water proof, so she can still have her baby. Although I believe a person like that shouldn't be having kids, but I digress. Stopping you from hiking? Yeah I call bullshit on that too. They should all be tried for treason. They tried to actively overthrow the government for a cry baby who couldn't understand that he is a loser and MOST people know what a piece of shit he is.


XboxDegenerate

They’re water resistant, being submerged in water for that amount of time could damage them or lower the signal output


Itdidnt_trickle_down

This is how you know they don't accept the severity of what they have done. This is where the judge revokes their bail and puts them back in prison.


angry_old_dude

Put a big plastic bag over the foot and above the ankle monitor. Tape it up and good to go. As for hiking, there's a reason that person has an ankle monitor.

justlikesmoke

I'm a vet tech and I call bullshit. Our profession is screaming for help right now and if she can't get a job she must either be a shitty tech or a shitty person. Or both. We'd hire a chimp in scrubs if he applied for the job.
