(Olympia, WA) -- The Washington State Department of Corrections is looking for a new IT chief. Ira Feuer, who was in charge of the department's information technology for about a year, has resigned. Officials say Feuer's departure is not part of any disciplinary action taken at the department as a result of the improper early release of thousands of prisoners in Washington. "The Olympian" quotes a spokeswoman for Governor Jay Inslee as saying Feuer told investigators about the programming problem that caused the releases and took steps to get it resolved.
