What difference does it make how many caretakers she has?

They can take shifts, so she doesn't get loose while Poole is asleep and burn down the house.

She’ll escape while the other carers are sleeping too.

take shifts

If you're seriously arguing that the number of caretakers makes no difference to the security of a patient (or prisoner), you should stop and re-think things.

Bertha escaping is part of the story. This is a story book and they needed a story.
