In a 1990 drama (Trial and Retribution) a prisoner serving time for murder, was fitted with a clip on belt and over the shoulder strap, to be interviewed by his solicitor un-supervised. The belt was thin, multi-coloured and seemed to include an sticking out black antenna. What was that all about?
At a guess, a less discreet version of an ankle "tag"
An ankle tag while in prison?
He was in an interview room, inside the prison.
Electric harness with built in taser. If he attacks anyone, they operate the remote!
All right, a personal remote controlled taser.
Hope it wasn't O2 controlled.
Graham. presented the following explanation :
It was a narrow strap, similar to the dayglo things I have seen cyclists wear (except rainbow coloured), with one of those plastic buckles, no lock and I couldn't see any sign of electronics, just a possible antenna sticking straight out from the belly button area on the strap. It was fitted by a warder each time he entered the interview room.
Something made up by the producer to annoy you.

Having worked on one of the longest running TV cop series at that time, don't remember ever seeing anything like that. And they were pretty hot on police procedure.
Dave Plowman (News) explained :
The prisoner was in prison, having been convicted of murder some years before, being interviewed by his solicitor for an appeal in a private room. If any of that makes a difference?
