Inslee: Investigation Of DOC Inmate Errors Complete

(Olympia, WA)  --  Governor Jay Inslee says his office has completed its investigation concerning the mistaken early releases of thousands of inmates from Washington prisons.  Inslee told lawmakers he'll work with Department of Corrections leadership to fully consider and implement the appropriate personnel actions.  Officials say the computer problem that led to the early releases of about 32-hundred prisoners went unresolved for some time after it was discovered in 2012.  The Senate Law and Justice Committee held a hearing yesterday, which included testimony from DOC personnel and a victim's father who notified the department in 2012 that its sentencing calculations were inaccurate.
