Parole & Probation

The Parole and Probation Division supervises individuals that have committed crimes and have been sentenced to a period of community supervision by a court or parole board. 

Parole and Probation Deputies work with offenders to ensure they’re accountable for their actions, in compliance with the conditions of supervision, and provide guidance and education to assist with their rehabilitation.

WHAT IS PROBATION?

An offender on probation is ordered to follow certain conditions set forth by the court, often under the supervision of a probation officer. Those who violate the terms of their probation can face structured sanctions/interventions to include; jail, community service, electronic home detention, increased reporting, or return to court for revocation.

Your probation officer will also be able to refer you to programs that are ordered by the court.

WHAT IS PAROLE AND POST-PRISON SUPERVISION?

Post-prison supervision and parole are often used synonymously, but post-prison supervision is the correct term for convictions that have occurred on or after November 1, 1989. In either case, Probation and Parole Officer monitors conditions imposed by the Oregon Board of Parole and Post-Prison Supervision. One may also be placed on post-prison supervision following revocation of felony probation and a period of incarceration in a local jail.

PROBATION CONDITIONS OF SUPERVISION

While the specific conditions of supervision may vary from case to case, there are standard conditions which apply to almost every adult on supervision. In addition, special conditions of probation may be imposed by the court, or by the Oregon Board of Parole, in response to the individual's risk to the community and their rehabilitative needs.
