More than 200 defendants with ankle monitors in Chicago and the county in which it sits are in the wind, a newly elected judge revealed as he tries to fix the broken system. Cook County Chief Judge Charles Beach’s bombshell report revealed that an estimated 8% of defendants out on electronic monitoring are “actively being searched for right now,” WGN reported. There are currently 3,048 defendants being electronically monitored while on pre-trial release, so roughly 244 of them in Illinois’ most populous county, and the second-most in the US, are untraceable.
