Washington State, Inmate Release Glitch

A computer coding error in Washington State's Department of Corrections led to the early release of over 3,000 inmates since 2002. Governor Jay Inslee described the 13-year-old glitch as "unforgivable," noting that the problem was only addressed after a victim's family performed their own sentencing calculations.
