Death Row Housing Policy and Definitions for Classification of Inmates

It is the long-standing policy and practice of the Department to house inmates with a sentence of death separately from the general inmate population in a death row housing unit or death row status cell due to the unique security and management concerns presented by these inmates. These rule amendments are necessary for the department to clarify that its policy in this area includes all inmates in a DOC institution with a sentence of death, including inmates with a death sentence from another state or jurisdiction.

Community Case Management (Community Corrections)

These rule changes are necessary for the department to implement the use of a new static risk assessment tool (Public Safety Checklilst) to replace the current risk assessment tool for supervision of offenders. The Public Safety Checklist will be used as the statewide initial risk assessment for offenders. The Proxy will be used as an alternative tool for offenders that have no Oregon criminal history or an extensive out-of-state criminal history.
