Abstract
The present invention relates to a smart wearable for use in correctional facilities. The correctional facility environment presents numerous challenges for which conventional smart wearables are not well suited, in particular maintaining sufficient battery power for operating the wearable over extended periods of time. The present invention provides a wearable with a removable battery pack which emphasizes improved battery life over conventional wearable aspects of small size and aesthetic appearance. The smart wearable disclosed herein is particularly well suited for correctional facilities due to the ability to power the wearable without the use of cables or wires for power or charging purposes. The smart wearable further provides for the ability to monitor inmate location and behavior which can be used to detect or predict undesirable actions.
