While Governor Jay Inslee is on a media tour telling us all how much he cares about people, his Department of Corrections (DOC) is needlessly putting us all at risks, particularly children. And given the past actions of the DOC, one could reasonably wonder how much political correctness is to blame. Thanks to the tremendous reporting of KIRO 7’s Linzi Sheldon, we’ve discovered that after a website redesign, the DOC removed the mugshots of all their sex offenders. According to Sheldon: After months of inquiries, the DOC posted a new ‘wanted’ page that included not only wanted sex offenders but also other wanted offenders who have been convicted of crimes and disappeared on parole. But the new page has no photos at all. The website lists eye color, weight, height, and race but no photos, making the site rather useless. So why no photos? It’s unclear. After refusing KIRO 7’s multiple requests, a corrections spokesperson finally claimed the website was redone to become ADA compliant. They say the photos will be back up at some point, but Sheldon learned that there’s no actual timeline to get that done. “Having those pictures there just makes sense,” Executive Director of the center Mary Ellen Stone told KIRO 7. “This person’s clearly demonstrated that they’re willing to hurt other people– and that– no one knows where they are. That is profoundly upsetting for victims.” Read More. |
