Tracking SAFE-T Act Failures

This "transparency" thing seems to be a serious self-own:

• A newly released report shows that 10% of the people enrolled in the Cook County court’s electronic monitoring (EM) program were missing as of June 1, the latest disclosure in what Chief Judge Charles Beach has described as a renewed transparency effort following the killing of an on-duty Chicago police officer and the critical wounding of his partner by an EM escapee in April.

  But the program continues to be plagued by high-profile failures, including recent revelations by CWBChicago that a 10-time felon who was supposed to be confined to his home while wearing an ankle monitor was found in Gov. JB Pritzker’s backyard. And another man, alleged by federal authorities to be a member of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, is charged with kidnapping and murdering an 18-year-old man while wearing one of the chief judge’s monitoring devices.

The only reason the "high-profile failure" even see the light of day is the outstanding reporting of the CWB blog - no other media outlet is doing it. And the number of "low profile" escapees is likely in the hundreds....many hundreds.

Something that should be spotlighted by persons running for higher office on a daily basis.
