Criminal Justice Commission Title: Short-Term Transitional Leave Program in Oregon Summary: In July 2013 the Oregon Legislature passed House Bill 3194, known as the Justice Reinvestment Act. Changes to shortterm transitional leave (STTL) are described in Section 13 and 14 of the bill. The bill increases the amount of short-term transitional leave that an inmate may receive from 30 days to 90 days. This change is applicable to sentences imposed on or after August 1, 2013. The bill also changes language that describes how an inmate may apply for short-term transitional leave. Prior to HB 3194, the inmate had to submit a transition plan, and instigate the process of applying for short-term transitional leave. HB 3194 includes language that the Department of Corrections (DOC) shall identify inmates who are eligible for the program and assist in preparing a transition plan. This change has allowed DOC to increase the number of inmates who receive a maximum of 30 or 90 days leave. In December 2013 DOC started to implement the new STTL program, and offenders were released under the new 90 day rule. The HB 3194 enrolled bill estimate from July 2013 estimated that 100 inmates per month would receive STTL and that by January 1, 2016 the program would account for 246 fewer prison beds. The number of offenders participating in the program has been approximately 100 inmates per month, and the associated prison bed savings on January 1, 2016 was 258 prison beds. DOC has tracked successful completions of STTL, as well as program failures. The program failure rate has been relatively low, at approximately 5%. These performance indicators show that the program has been working as estimated. Details: Salem: Oregon Criminal Justice Commission, 2016. 18p.
