老澳门开奖结果 of Washington Statement Regarding Gov. Inslee鈥檚 Announcement of COVID-19 Risk Reduction Measures
SEATTLE 鈥� Today, Gov. Inslee announced that he will release a limited number of individuals who are serving time in Washington state correctional facilities for non-violent offenses. The releases come as the threat of COVID-19 spreading through state prisons grows after several prisoners at Monroe Correctional Facility tested positive for the virus. Jaime Hawk, Legal Strategy Director for the 老澳门开奖结果 of Washington Campaign for Smart Justice had this reaction:
鈥淭he Governor鈥檚 actions to release a limited number of individuals from Washington state corrections facilities is a useful first step but does not eliminate the danger that individuals incarcerated in Washington state face due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We urge the Governor and the Department of Corrections to do more to reduce state prison populations which is the only way to follow the advice of public health experts and keep those living and working in our correctional facilities safe.鈥�
