Report Cites "Incompetence" In DOC Early-release Errors

(Olympia, WA)  --  A report out of the governor's office is citing "incompetence" and a "systemic failure of management" for the Department of Corrections' mistaken early release of thousands of prisoners over more than a decade in Washington.  Governor Jay Inslee summarized the report prepared by two former federal prosecutors who were hired to investigate.  A computer problem led to about 32-hundred prisoners being prematurely released starting in 2002.  One of the investigators, Carl Blackstone, wrote that a "calamity of errors" led to the early releases.
