Sex offender halfway home holds 'open house' - Washington State

Chris Engel 4/8/132:47 PM

"...The Unity House in south Seattle opened its doors to the public, offering a rare look inside a sex offender halfway house.

"Jim Tharpe, Unity House owner, looks at his home as an educational center for convicted sex offenders released from prison. The goal is to teach them to re-integrate back into society so they can get jobs and have a future....

"State lawmakers are working on a new bill that would address problems with halfway houses under the Department of Corrections voucher program. ESB 5105 passed unanimously in the Senate and is now under consideration in the House."
