Report cites lax security at mental hospital

Martha Bellisle, reporter, Seattle, for reporting exclusively that corrections officials who investigated the April escape of two violent patients from Washington state’s largest psychiatric hospital discovered a list of mistakes, blunders and deceptions at what should be a secure facility. Bellisle battled the Department of Social and Health Services for months to get records on the investigation. http://apne.ws/2de0u60
