Corrections wants to be able to check offenders' sweat for drugs and alcohol, through its electronic monitoring bracelets.
The department will switch to new equipment in February, after signing a $180 million contract with UK company, Buddi.
When seeking bids for the contract, it requested technology that could continuously monitor a wearer's perspiration.
