I read that a system used by Wisconsin prison officials to track offenders failed the other day. The outage lasted 11 hours, and police responded by rounding up and detaining about 140 offenders. It seemed Wisconsin was well prepared, but I wonder about a system where those who can't be tracked have to be immediately detained. Is that much safety gained if these types of offenders can, in theory, cut off the tracking bracelet and get a pretty good head start on law enforcement?
