Morgan Geyser (of Slenderman fame) was under electronic monitoring in a group home when she cut off the bracelet and fled to Illinois. (FWIW, I've heard that other inmates thought she was still crazy and shouldn't have been out at all.) She is back in custody.
Geyser’s bracelet tampering alert came in at 9:38 p.m. and was placed in a queue for a staff of eight employees and two trainees on second shift, and seven employees on third shift, with an hour of overlap between the shifts, Hoy wrote. Staff first attempted to reset the monitor at 11:10 p.m.. When those efforts failed nearly 25 minutes later, staff called the group home and confirmed Geyser was no longer there.Geyser’s tamper alarm was one of 397 alarms DOC received over three hours leading up to midnight, nearly two-thirds of which were labeled as “high-priority,” Hoy’s letter said. Any attempts to remove a monitor, such as cutting, stretching or twisting the band, trigger an alarm, as does failure to charge the device’s battery.
Emphasis is mine. That's more than one high priority alert every minute. I doubt that alerts can be resolved quickly, especially at that hour. Having 10 on duty gives you about 7 minutes each, on the average. It took an hour and a half for them to get to it.
