UPDATE:
Supreme Court decides Board of Parole has authority to override judicially imposed minimum sentences.

According to a study released by the Pew Center, Oregon is leading the nation in reducing the number of offenders who return to prison each year. This is extremely positive news, and it further supports the need for a balanced correctional system that is equipped to respond appropriately to parole violations and new crimes.

The Board of Parole and Post-Prison Supervision recognizes that these positive outcomes are achieved through a public safety system grounded in evidence based practices that prioritize community safety, victims of crime, and offender accountability.

2011 marks the 100 year anniversary of the Board of Parole and Post-Prison Supervision. To commemorate this historic year, The Board of Parole and Post-Prison Supervision will begin the next 100 years with a new look starting with the creation of our own agency seal.
