A Sober Day can be defined as a 24-hour period in which a monitored individual has no confirmed consumption of alcohol and no confirmed attempt to tamper or circumvent testing in order to mask the consumption of alcohol. To be a true Sober Day, an offender must:
- Be able to present evidence-based confirmation of sobriety for each 24-hour period
- Be monitored transdermally (via perspiration/the skin) in order to meet the required test frequency
- Be tested a minimum of once per hour per 24-hour period
- Be tested automatically, with no requirement to participate in the testing
The SCRAM bracelet is the only alcohol monitoring tool or device on the market today that reinforces Sober Days.
