These were serious errors with serious implications, Mr. Inslee said in a statement.
When I learned of this I ordered DOC to fix this, fix it fast and fix it right.
The DOC estimates some 3,200 offenders may have been released early over the course of 13 years.
However, the officials became aware of the issue only in 2012.
The DOC estimates that offenders were released an average of 49 days before their correct release date.
Former inmates who were released early will be required to return to prison and complete their sentences.
I expect the external investigation will bring the transparency and accountability we need to ensure this issue is resolved.
