RFID Goes To Jail

This, from ZDNet Australia:

Inmates at Canberra's first prison will wear radio frequency identification (RFID) bracelets or anklets to track their location, under plans by government.

In going to tender for the construction of the Alexander Maconochie Centre, the Australian Capital Territory's (ACT) first prison, ACT Corrective Services called for a subcontractor to implement an AU$800,000 RFID tracking capability for guards and inmates.
