The Lindsay Lohan ankle bracelet will be an everyday accessory for LiLo for a while. The Associated Press reports that Lohan has been ordered by a Beverly Hills Court to wear a position- and blood alcohol-tracking SCRAM bracelet (Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitoring)}. It will inform the court and Lindsay Lohan’s parole officer as to her location at all times and monitor her blood alcohol level via her perspiration.

How does the ankle bracelet for Lindsey Lohan work?
The Associated Press indicates that the Lindsay Lohan SCRAM ankle bracelet has been in use by courts for a couple of years. Instead of detecting alcohol through an exhalation as in a breath test, the SCRAM bracelet can detect the presence of alcohol in a person’s sweat as it checks every half hour, and no amount of payday cash loan will get LiLo out of it. The findings are recorded and then sent back when the person calls in once a day to file their report. If there is a blood alcohol level of .02 or higher detected, the authorities are immediately alerted. At that level, all it really takes are two 5-ounce drinks in just one hour on an empty stomach for a 180-pound man, says Alcohol Monitoring Systems Inc. Considering Lindsay Lohan’s hard-partying ways and skinny body (plus the exercise she gets allegedly stalking Samantha Ronson and courting Indrani the photographer), it won’t take much alcohol to send the police running to LiLo.
The problem won't stop just because parents use SCRAM
To date, SCRAM bracelets have only been made available to courts. They are only used around 90 days and are used in every state except Hawaii according to AP. All bracelets like these cost about $ 1,500. That’s certainly worth keeping naughty celebs like Lindsay Lohan, Andy Dick, Eve and Michelle Rodriguez in line, and it also gives people a better option than spending time in jail. Imagine what would happen to LiLo if she was forced to stay in jail … where would she possibly get the white powder that she keeps in her shoes?
Unfortunately, you aren't able to just jam the SCRAM with chicken skin
Some people have tried throwing of the SCRAM scanner by stuffing chicken skin between the ankle and the bracelet according to the Alcohol Monitoring Systems Inc. That doesn't work and if it is tampered with more than that, then the offender is thrown into jail.
