WALLA WALLA, Wash. – Washington Gov. Jay Inslee has appointed Walla Walla City Councilman Dick Morgan to serve as acting secretary for the scandal-plagued Department of Corrections. Morgan replaces Dan Pacholke who announced his retirement last month. Investigators into the early-release scandal say that Pacholke had no knowledge of or responsibility for the programming area that saw thousands of inmates set free prematurely over a number of years. Morgan worked for DOC for more than 30 years. He began as a corrections officer and was director of prisons when he retired in 2010. He has also served as the superintendent for the Washington State Penitentiary, Clallam Bay Corrections Center, and McNeil Island Corrections Center. He’ll take over the new job on March 14. He tells the Union-Bulletin he would rather stay on as councilman, but will leave that up to the others on the council. It’s expected his appointment will last until the end of the year. Read More. |
