"Repeat drunken-driving offenders are not a problem anymore; they're an epidemic. This [SCRAM] is a way to monitor them 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This puts fear in them. This lets them know anytime they drink, we're monitoring them. Maybe that is enough to keep them from getting behind the wheel." - Judge William Nelson, Marion Superior Court, Marion, Indiana
"SCRAM is clearly a next-generation technology. It is based on unique transdermal technology and offers robust functionality not provided in any alcohol-testing product on the market today. As a technology and marketing consultant specializing in electronic monitoring, it's my job to know what products are being used and what capabilities are needed. A recent survey of drug courts and DUI programs indicates that SCRAM's ability to conduct alcohol tests on a regular and frequent basis, regardless of the location or activities of the offender, offers a long-awaited supervision and treatment capability. " - Peggy Conway, Remote Supervision Technology Consultant and editor of The Journal of Offender Monitoring
"The device [SCRAM] could revolutionize the way courts treat people with alcohol-related offenses." - Rick Falkner, industry expert and retired Program Manager for the National Institute of Justice
"This [SCRAM] is almost off the charts in terms of what's out there." - Joe Russo, Program Manager, National Law Enforcement and Corrections Technology Center
"In support of our agency's mission statement, which is to maintain the public's safety while effectively diverting non-dangerous offenders from incarceration through placement in community-based programs, we are always looking for innovative technology to strengthen our electronic-monitoring program, especially when it comes to dealing with multiple-DUI offenders. After our initial evaluation of SCRAM, it became crystal clear that it needed to become an integral component of our program." - Brian Barton, Executive Director, Marion County Community Corrections
