Oregon State Prisons: “We’re sorry we scared you to death”
No mass release of inmates. It was a computer glitch.
The head office of Oregon State Prisons says they’re sorry for scaring thousands of families last evening when the system suffered a computer glitch, notifying thousands of people that an inmate they’re concerned about was released. That includes murderers, domestic batterers and others.
The prison system system sent out a blanket notice that it was a false alarm and that they were working on it.
