Typically, there’s no fixed period of time for wearing a secure continuous remote alcohol monitor SCRAM bracelet. However, the exact length of time will depend on your DUI case. Often, DUI offenders who wear SCRAMs have to wear them for at least one month and no more than one year. If you and your DUI lawyer are suggesting a SCRAM to avoid jail time or prison time, it’s best to propose a longer period, including six months or a full year. Because this is your opportunity to show the judge, you’re alcohol-free and that you won’t endanger anyone again.
If you’re proposing wearing a SCRAM bracelet to avoid jail time, it’s essential to note that it will cost you $10-15 per day to wear this device. This can be an expensive legal option, especially for longer sentences; however, it’s worth it if it keeps you out of jail.
