Victim Services

Transition From VINELink to a New and Improved System, VISOR. 

The Oregon Department of Corrections (DOC) is changing the way automated notification status is made. ODOC will transition from VINELink to a new and improved system, VISOR. From August 1, 2023, through October 31, 2023, the VINE and VISOR systems will run simultaneously to ensure the new system is functioning properly and notifications are made. Current VINE registrants will automatically be transferred to VISOR. Registrants do not need to take any action at this time. For more information on the transition, click here or email VISOR@doc.oregon.gov

Crime Victims’ Rights

An amendment to the Oregon state constitution guarantees the victim the right to be reasonably protected from the defendant. This amendment:

  • Requires the judge to make decisions about pre-trial release on the principle of reasonable protection of the victim and the public. 
  • Ensures crimes defined as violent felonies will not allow bail if the court finds probable cause to believe the defendant committed the crime, and the court finds danger of physical injury to the victim or public.
  • Prevents a judge or parole board from allowing a defendant to be released before serving their full sentence.
  • Requires jury composition be made up of registered voters who haven’t been convicted of a felony, or served a sentence for a felony, within the last 15 years.
