Washington State Corrections Crook Resigns

Dan Pacholke's 4 month reign as leader of the Washington State Department of Corrections is ending.  He announced his resignation Saturday so he could devote his time to less deadly things no doubt.  His tenure was marked by the public discovery that for over a decade his agency had been improperly releasing prisoners early and that in at least two such instances these people committed murders.  The mystery is why he and his predecessors are not already in jail themselves.
