A Bracelet for Life

Israel Prison Service Spokesperson’s Office The Israel Prison Service’s Weapons Development Branch developed a unique technological device to prevent inmate suicides. This was in light of the 1,200 inmates who are defined as "under supervision" – 230 of whom have been diagnosed as being at high risk for committing suicide. The technology can alert prison staff to a suicide attempt, within a reasonable time span that allows the inmate to be saved.
