Washington State Correctional Officer murdered by inmate
I work as a Correctional Officer. This one cuts deep and the rage and anger I feel inside can't really be expressed through words.
The inmate who killed her is on a life without parole sentence. He had been tried and convicted of three rapes, and set one of the women in fire. He worked ALONE in the chapel where she was posted. How can a department be so reckless? So stupid? It's criminal.
The Department of Corrections will call it an escape attempt, but it wasn't. The layout of the facility shows that the inmate had no chance. He wanted to rape her and she fought him, so he killed her. The department has blood on their hands.
The worst part? The inmate will be charged with second degree murder, taking the death penalty off of the table. Since he's already LWOP, he won't be punished for this. He'll be shipped out of state some where and spend the rest of his life in protective custody, in a cozy cell with a television and three square meals a day.
(Mods, I am sorry if this shouldn't be posted here. I know this is a bit graphic so if this shouldn't be here, please remove it. Thank you.)
