Island County rehires jailer who was fired after inmate died

The Daily Herald reports (http://goo.gl/dxGQmX ) Pamela McCarty's conduct in the days leading up to Farris' death last year was "serious and justified substantial discipline," but didn't warrant termination, according to the arbitrator.

Arbitrator Gary Axon wrote that McCarty shouldn't be held solely liable for a series of systematic failures inside and outside the jail that led to the 25-year-old man's death.
