Washington DOC Officials Disciplined For Early Releases Of Inmates

(Olympia, WA)  --  Governor Jay Inslee says disciplinary action has been taken against several Department of Corrections officials for their involvement in the improper releases of thousands of inmates from Washington prisons.  The governor says one of those officials has resigned, two others have been demoted, and two have received reprimands.  The actions were taken following an investigation into why a DOC software glitch that led to the early releases went undetected for ten years and went unresolved for another three.  The "Spokesman-Review" reports at least two deaths have been linked to the early releases.
