DDD...that is true here too. We actually had to have a second line installed because I wasnt giving up my phone line which I used to get on the internet for Cory to use for his ankle bracelet. I made him pay for it out of his check. We put the box in his bedroom. Oh more than one occasion when Cory and Tony got into it, Tony threatened to tear that box out of the wall...lol.
I will never forget the day the PO showed up to get the whole set up installed and Cory came out into the driveway which is about 10 feet from my front door to say good-bye to him and the PO barked at him that the driveway "wasnt a part of the house!" You should have seen Cory run for the house. I think depending on the actual area of the home, the average length of the tether is about 100 feet. My trailer is 76 feet so it had to be longer than 75.
We did figure out that Cory could sit just outside the house and it wouldnt go off. He would sit in a chair in the shade right up next to the house just to get some air.
This fact that they cant get too far out of the house is one of the reasons they set it up that Cory was off the tether from 8-12 every day. They knew he was living with me and that I couldnt go do any of the outside chores around the house like feed the chickens or the dogs or even take Keyana places when she was here. He needed to be able to take her out once in awhile when she was here. So nicely enough, they worked with us. I do think we got good people. Cory's PO was a stickler but as long as Cory behaved, he was an angel. If we needed to have Cory go off the tether for something important we could call and ask. They had to approve it but they only declined one time.
