My neighbor has just installed an "invisible fence"; a buried cable that activates a shock collar on his dog, should the dog try to leave. Stun belts are already in use in American correction facilities.
Frankly, I'm suprised that parolees haven't been required to wear an electric shocking version of the GPS bracelets based on the shocking dog collars. It should be a small technological jump to install a chip that works on a person from the inside. The power source would be the greatest obstacle since it would need to be compact.
The really tough part of tracking chip technology has been the tracking. It seems like only a small step would be needed to include a component that could affect one or more nerves. This would, in essence, add a stun gun or disabling device to the tracking feature. It could be GPS or command activated.
My guess is that this already exists and politicians are waiting for enough public support to implement it on convicted criminals and terrorist detainees.
