What is: Community Corrections in Oregon
Community corrections operates in partnership with local, county-operated community corrections agencies. The Department of Corrections operates community corrections in Linn and Douglas counties. Community corrections activities include supervision, community-based sanctions, and services directed at offenders who have committed felony crimes and have been placed under supervision by the courts (probation) or the Board of Parole and Post-Prison Supervision (parole/post -prison supervision).
Sex Offender Strategies
Oregon counties provide strategic leadership in the management of sex offenders through a combination of:

- Specialized supervision,
- Quality treatment and behavioral control,
- Polygraph monitoring;
- Life-time sex offender registration;
- Community notification of predatory sex offenders;
- Legislation to assist in the monitoring of sex offenders on community supervision; and
- The Oregon Sex Offender Supervision Network.
Important Information
Interstate Compact
The Interstate Compact Agreement, signed by all fifty (50) states and three territories, sets guidelines by which convicted felons who are under supervision can move from the state in which they were convicted (sending state) to another state (receiving state). This agreement allows certain offenders to be supervised by the receiving state and have it to impose any conditions of supervision necessary to provide for the safety of the public.
