In its current form, first-time felons are allowed to be processed through RCP. The county is exploring expanding that program to adults.
Jim Ferrell, mayor of Federal Way and candidate for King County Prosecutor, is crying foul over “a real crisis in our region,” as crime rates continue to climb. In a news conference Wednesday, he said the increase in crime was handled with “no discernable plan” equivalent to “a failure of justice.”
“There’s a restorative community pathway program that has been launched with serious felonies that are being referred to private organizations with no case numbers, no judge, no check back, and no accountability whatsoever,” Ferrell said. The prosecutor candidate clarified that he believes in restorative justice, just not how it has been implemented in King County. The mayor of Federal Way said that a lack of transparency in the program results in criminals being allowed to commit subsequent crimes without accountability.
“But they’ve got to have the hallmarks of transparency and accountability,” Ferrell continued. “$3 million has been spent for a year for these groups … You got to know, did the person show up? Did they commit another criminal law violation?”
