OREGON PUBLIC SAFETY SYSTEM SURVEY DOC Responses (N=) April 2010 Report by the Crime and Justice Institute at Community Resources for Justice INTRODUCTION Faced with implementing unprecedented reductions in the state budget following the 2009 Legislative Session, Governor Ted Kulongoski issued Executive Order #09-13. The Executive Order set in motion a reset process in the Governor s Reset Cabinet to: reexamine and prioritize the core functions of State government in Oregon, to advise the Governor on opportunities to create efficiencies, improve outcomes, and stabilize existing revenue streams and to provide the basis for a report from the governor to the citizens of Oregon on options for resetting the priorities and functions of government to better serve the interests and needs of Oregonians. The public safety representative on the Reset Cabinet, Department of Corrections Director Max Williams, established a small subcommittee to prepare recommendations on the operations of the public safety system in Oregon for review by the Reset Cabinet and eventual submission to the Governor. The Subcommittee anticipates making recommendations that may include: 1. Administrative changes 2. Policy changes that could be implemented through executive order 3. Budget recommendations for the consideration of the incoming Governor and the 2011 Legislature. Changes in state law for the consideration of the 2011 Legislature 5. Potential ballot measures As part of their deliberations, the committee seeks input from major stakeholders and the public. This survey was designed to test the wisdom and viability of a variety of approaches to public safety in the state, and to have respondents make the kinds of difficult policy and financial tradeoffs that have been, and will continue to be, made by state department directors, the Governor, and the Legislature. Our subcommittee is not discussing the wisdom or potential of generating additional revenue, nor do these questions ask about revenue-generating options. Here is some historical background information to consider when completing this survey. Oregon Public Safety Survey DOC Responses 1
There was little growth in prison capacity between 1959 and 1977. As a result, prison overcrowding led to the early release of inmates and the threat of judicial/federal management. Oregon responded in several ways. The number of prison beds in Oregon grew from 2,907 in 1977 to 5,93 in 199 an increase of more than 100%. The number of beds doubled again between 199 and 2007 to 13,918 an overall growth of 11,011 in the past 30 years. In 1989, Oregon implemented a system of sentencing guidelines which provide greater truth in sentencing and a rational use of the available space. In November, 199, Ballot Measure 11 was passed as a voter initiative. Ballot Measure 11 originally set mandatory minimum sentences for sixteen person crimes for persons age 15 and over. These statutory penalties eliminated sentencing guidelines control over which of these offenders went to prison and the length of their stay in prison. Measure 11 has been amended by the legislature over the years to include 23 crimes, with certain less serious crimes eligible for a departure to non-mandatory guidelines sentences if certain statutory strictures are met. Reduction in sentences to Measure 11 crimes require voter approval or a 2/3 vote of the Legislature. Ballot Measure 57, a drug and property crimes sentencing measure, was approved by voters in November, 2008, as an alternative to Ballot Measure 61, which would have imposed mandatory sentences for property and drug crimes. Ballot Measure 57 proscribes prison sentences for certain repeat property offenders and enhanced sentences for certain drug manufacturing and delivery offenders, and mandates treatment for drug addicted offenders who are likely to recidivate. Its implementation was suspended as part of the 2009 Legislative session. The reset discussion takes place at a time when crime rates for both violent and property crime have been falling nation-wide. The crime rate has fallen faster in Oregon than the national average.

3. Our subcommittee has assumed very difficult budget deliberations in the 2011 Session. Many of the questions below involve ways of reducing budgets in costeffective, research-driven ways. Public safety budgets can experience three outcomes in the next Legislature. Given the financial outlook, which would you prefer? Answer % Reduction of the amount of funds and services available in public safety and greater funding of other state services 25% Approximately the same amount of funds in public safety and reduced services because of the higher costs of operations. 25% Increased public safety funding to maintain current services, and permit expected prison growth based on population growth (anticipated to be 2500 in the next nine years), the implementation of Ballot Measure 57, and increased costs. Total 100% 50%. Section 15 of the Oregon Constitution establishes the foundation principles of criminal law Laws for the punishment of crime shall be founded on these principles: protection of society, personal responsibility, accountability for one s actions and reformation [Oregon Constitution of 1859].

TREATMENT OPTIONS An increasing number of offenders enter the criminal justice system with serious alcohol and drug and/or mental health issues. For many, these issues prevent their successful and crime-free living in a community. Jails and prison are often ill-equipped to provide the type of services needed. The question of how the criminal justice system should deal with these offenders has been at the center of public policy debate for the past decade. The Attorney General has made uniform and available alcohol and drug treatment a high priority and is currently chairing a Task Force to develop recommendations to meet that goal. The following questions express opinions about public safety. On a scale of 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree), indicate the extent to which you agree that each statement should shape state policy. 6. Investments in alcohol and drug and mental health treatment are more effective than incarceration in reducing recidivism and promoting individual reformation over the long term. 7. The state and counties should make increased use of diversion/deferred prosecution with treatment for offenders whose primary presenting issue is alcohol and drug use and/or mental illness. 8. Released offenders should be given easier access to the Oregon Health Plan to obtain alcohol and drug, mental health, and health services needed for their recovery. 0% 0% 0% 25% 0% 25% 50% 6 0% 0% 0% 50% 0% 25% 25% 5 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 50% 50% 7 Oregon Public Safety Survey DOC Responses 5
RESTRUCTURING THE SYSTEM The current public safety system in Oregon is a combination of state, county, and city responsibilities. A number of changes could be made that may bring greater uniformity, efficiency, and cost effectiveness. On a scale of 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree), indicate the extent to which you agree that each System Restructuring idea should be seriously considered by the committee. 9. Currently, the state operates a prison system housing almost 1,000 offenders. The counties operate local jails with varying capacities and subject to local standards regarding who is jailed and for how long. With the goal of more efficient use of underutilized space and less expensive operations of existing prison and jail beds, the state should establish regional jails operated by the state in accordance with standard pretrial best practices and use of short term sanctions. 10. A system of regional jails should be established and operated by coalitions of counties, rather than the Department of Corrections. 11. Currently, the county operates community corrections systems, subject to state rules allowing the counties to "opt out" and return responsibilities to the state only if funding falls below a forecasted baseline. The state should make it easier for the counties to "opt out" of this responsibility. 12. The state should provide incentives to counties who operate their community corrections systems according to evidence-based practices and in ways that limit the use of state prison beds on a risk model. 13. District Attorneys are elected by county voters every four years. They have significant discretion in making charging decisions and reaching plea agreements. With the goal of achieving greater uniformity, transparency, and accountability over charging practices and pleas, elected district attorney positions should be changed to appointed positions under the management of the Attorney General, paralleling the U.S. system of appointing US Attorneys. 1. Counties should be given the choice to have the state manage and pay for the operation of the district attorneys office. 15. A system of regional local courts should be established and operated by coalitions of counties, rather than individual counties. 16. Currently, the state operates state juvenile correctional facilities and manages and contracts for treatment facilities. The state should shift the responsibility of managing local treatment facilities to the counties. 0% 0% 25% 25% 25% 0% 25% 5 0% 0% 0% 25% 25% 25% 25% 6 50% 50% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 2 0% 0% 0% 0% 25% 75% 0% 6 0% 25% 0% 0% 25% 25% 25% 5 25% 0% 0% 50% 0% 25% 0% 0% 0% 0% 25% 25% 25% 25% 6 25% 0% 0% 50% 0% 25% 0% Oregon Public Safety Survey DOC Responses 6
SENTENCING REFORM Since the mid-1980 s, the largest and fastest growing portion of the public safety budget is in prisons. Because of the charge to the Reset Committee, for this analysis it is assumed that Oregon will have fewer prison beds that will be used differently in the future. Many of the following questions involve options about how best to reduce the number of operating prison beds. PRIORITIES FOR PRISON USE On a scale from 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree), indicate the extent to which you agree that each sentencing reform idea should be seriously considered by the committee. 17. The priority for use of prison beds should be for violent offenders and person to person crimes, rather than property crimes. 18. The second priority for use of prison beds should be for property offenders at high risk of reoffense based on a validated risk assessment. 19. The use of probation coupled with intermediate sanctions (e.g. day reporting centers, electronic monitoring, restitution) and appropriate alcohol, drug, and mental health treatment administered by local community corrections agencies is generally an appropriate sentence for non-violent offenders and most repeat property offenders. 0% 0% 0% 25% 0% 25% 50% 6 0% 0% 0% 50% 0% 25% 25% 5 0% 0% 0% 25% 0% 25% 50% 6 Oregon Public Safety Survey DOC Responses 7
BALLOT MEASURE 11 Ballot Measure 11 was passed as a voter initiative in November, 199. It originally set mandatory minimum sentences for sixteen person crimes for persons 15 and over. These statutory penalties eliminated sentencing guidelines control over which of these offenders went to prison and the length of their stay in prison. Ballot Measure 11 has been amended by the legislature over the years to include 23 crimes, with some of the less serious crimes eligible for a departure to a lesser guidelines sentence if certain statutory strictures are met. Prior to the passage of Ballot Measure 11 in 199, all prison intakes were covered by sentencing guidelines designed to balance the seriousness of offenses with the available prison resources. In 2008, only 25% of the prison impact of sentences imposed was governed by the guidelines. Ballot Measure 11 and the Repeat Property Offender Statute governed the rest of the prison impact of sentences imposed. Assume for the purposes of this survey that reductions in prison capacity must be made due to reductions in revenues. Which of the following are worth giving very serious consideration for enactment if they are shown to achieve meaningful reductions in prison and jail bed use? On a scale of 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree), indicate the extent to which you agree that each Ballot Measure 11 reform idea should be seriously considered by the committee. (The statements go from the more general to the more specific.) 20. Ballot Measure 11 undermines the state s sentencing guideline system and the fair allocation of a limited prison resource. It should be repealed, and the sentencing guidelines rewritten with longer sentences that utilize current and projected prison capacity. 0% 0% 0% 25% 0% 25% 50% 6 21. The number of crimes covered by Ballot Measure 11 should be reduced. 0% 25% 25% 25% 0% 0% 25% 22. The minimum sentences for Ballot Measure 11 crimes should be reduced across the board, bringing them more in line with the sentencing guidelines operating for other state offenses. 23. 56% of the convictions under Ballot Measure 11 are for Assault II, Robbery II, and Sex Abuse 1. However, many convictions for these crimes are actually under sentencing guidelines. If even more convictions used sentencing guidelines, the state would save a significant amount of prison space and money. These changes should be made. 2. Crimes involving no death, no serious physical injury, or no sexual contact of any kind with the victim should be removed from Ballot Measure 11 and dealt with under sentencing guidelines. 0% 0% 0% 50% 0% 25% 25% 5 0% 25% 0% 25% 0% 0% 50% 5 0% 25% 0% 25% 0% 0% 50% 5 Oregon Public Safety Survey DOC Responses 8
25. Offenders who are convicted of crimes that did not involve death nor attempted murder, serious physical injury, nor any sexual contact of any kind with the victim should be allowed the opportunity to gain 20% earned time off their sentence. (Would include all Robbery II and some Assault II cases.) (Earned time allows inmates to reduce the length of their sentence through the completion of prison time in accordance with institutional behavior and program compliance.) 26. The chief petitioner's argument for Ballot Measure 11 stated, "These are sentences for intentional, absolute use of force against innocent victims." However, some of the crimes in Ballot Measure 11 involved reckless, not intentional, behavior. Crimes that involve reckless, but not intentional behavior should be removed from Ballot Measure 11 and dealt with under sentencing guidelines. (Reckless means "being aware of and consciously disregarding a substantial and unjustifiable risk that a result would occur, but didn't intend for the result to occur"). 27. Offenders who are convicted of crimes that involved reckless, but not intentional behavior should be allowed the opportunity to gain 20% earned time off their sentence. 28. The Oregon Supreme Court decided that the application of Measure 11 sentences in certain cases is unconstitutional because the sentence is not proportional to the facts of the case. Those cases involved sexual touching of the offender's breasts and a child's clothed buttocks, not sexual penetration. The sentence in each case was 75 months of prison. The Legislature should re-write the Sex Abuse in the First Degree statute, so that it only applies to cases of genital contact or the use of force. 29. Ballot Measure 11 eliminated judicial discretion to apply the law to individual cases, and the result was that it gave greater leverage to prosecutors in negotiating plea bargains. Under the sentencing guideline system that previously governed these crimes, greater discretion belonged to judges. Judges should be the ones to decide the appropriate sentence in a specific case based upon a carefully structured and researched sentencing grid. 0% 0% 0% 25% 0% 25% 50% 6 0% 0% 25% 25% 0% 0% 50% 5 0% 0% 0% 50% 25% 0% 25% 5 0% 0% 0% 50% 0% 0% 50% 6 0% 25% 0% 25% 0% 0% 50% 5 Oregon Public Safety Survey DOC Responses 9
REPEAT PROPERTY CRIMES The Oregon legislature created a statutory penalty for repeat property offenders in 1996, moving sentencing of certain offenders outside the guidelines structure. The repeat property offender statute was amended by voter initiative in 2008, making offenders eligible for longer sentences with fewer prior convictions. Assuming reductions in planned prison capacity must be made due to revenue constraints, which of the following are worth giving very serious consideration to enacting if they are shown to achieve meaningful reductions in prison and jail bed use? On a scale of 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree), indicate the extent to which you agree that each Property Crime reform idea should be seriously considered by the committee. 30. The Repeat Property Offender statute should be re-written so it only applies when the offender is on felony supervision at the time of the new offense. 31. The property crime measure undermines the state s sentencing guideline system and the fair allocation of a limited prison resource. It should be repealed. 32. The property offender statute should be rewritten so that a court considers the likelihood of an offender committing a new crime based on a risk assessment tool. 0% 0% 25% 25% 25% 25% 0% 5 0% 25% 0% 25% 0% 25% 25% 5 0% 0% 0% 50% 25% 25% 0% 5 Oregon Public Safety Survey DOC Responses 10
BALLOT MEASURE 57 Ballot Measure 57 was approved by voters in November, 2008, as an alternative to Ballot Measure 61. Ballot Measure 57 proscribes prison sentences for certain repeat property offenders and enhanced sentences for certain drug manufacturing and delivery offenders, and mandates treatment for drug addicted offenders who are likely to recidivate. Implementation of the repeat property and drug offense sentences was delayed by the Legislature until January 1, 2011, because of budget constraints. It can be reviewed again in the 2011 session. Given the need to reduce budgets, which of the following do you support? On a scale of 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree), indicate the extent to which you agree that each Ballot Measure 57 reform idea should be seriously considered by the committee. 33.

COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS Community corrections supervision, sanction and treatment programs are operated by counties throughout the state. Supervision is provided at various levels for inmates returning to their communities from local jails and state prisons. Originally, community corrections was limited to supervision. In recent years, increased use of intermediate sanctions, alcohol and drug treatment, mental health services, electronic monitoring and other approaches have enabled community corrections to achieve better results in reducing repeat crime. On a scale of 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree), indicate the extent to which you agree that each Community Corrections reform idea should be seriously considered by the committee. 38. Provide greater funding to counties operating community corrections in the form of incentives designed to reduce the number of offenders sent to state prison by reducing new crimes and violations of the conditions of supervision. Offenders would be managed using county jails, local sanctions, and supervision. 39. The state should provide incentives to counties to use work release to reduce the number of non-violent offenders sent to state prison and to try to achieve better results in the local communities. 0. The state should provide incentives to counties to use home detention and electronic monitoring to reduce the number of non-violent offenders sent to state prison, and to try to achieve better results in the local communities. 1. The state should provide incentives to counties to use alcohol and drug treatment and housing to reduce the number of offenders sent to state prison, and to try to achieve better results in the local communities. 2.

RESTITUTION & VICTIMS SERVICES Restitution and Victims rights and services are a part of the Oregon Constitution. Sections 2 and 3 of the Constitution outline the rights of victims in criminal prosecutions and juvenile court proceedings, but they also include the right to receive prompt restitution from the convicted criminal who caused the victim s loss or injury. Victim is defined as any person determined by the prosecuting attorney to have suffered direct financial, psychological or physical harm as a result of a crime and, in the case of a victim who is a minor, the legal guardian of the minor. On a scale of 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree), indicate the extent to which you agree that each Restitution & Victim Services reform idea should be seriously considered by the committee. 5. Most victims receive some assistance during the court phase of prosecution. Services should be increased so that all victims receive full support services through the pre-trial and trial stages of their offender's prosecution. 6.
