Oregon Justice Reinvestment Initiative

The Oregon Justice Reinvestment Initiative is a criminal justice policy aimed at reducing incarceration rates and promoting fairer, more effective systems. It focuses on diverting non-violent offenders from lengthy prison terms into community-based programs, enhancing probation and parole supervision, and improving data collection. The goal is to allocate resources more efficiently, lower costs, and support rehabilitation, ultimately creating a safer community while ensuring justice is fair and balanced. This initiative balances public safety with opportunities for offenders to reintegrate into society successfully.
