I don't think organizing a pick up would be necessary.
I worked overnights at a similar, albeit much smaller and seemingly less locked-down facility 10 years ago or so, kids took off from there occasionally but only once while I was there did one take off who wasn't quickly found.
He took off in the middle of the night in what by PNW standards was a snowstorm, there was like 9 inches of snow on the ground and the facility was in the middle of nowhere several miles from any establishments. The cops straight up refused to go looking for him due to the weather so I went out after him (which I wasn't supposed to do and could have been fired for), he had at most a half hour head start but I couldn't track him down, he was just a ghost. I was convinced the kid was dead.
But somehow he made it out. He contacted his family a few weeks later and confirmed he was okay; apparently he'd walked several miles in the snow, caught a metro bus into the city and eventually made it to a friend's house. The rest of the time I was working there (another 6 months or so) he was never found, but was known to be somewhere in the metro area hiding out with friends.
I feel like this is most likely similar to the situation in this case.
