Oregon Department of Corrections, Community Corrections Transitional Release Release Services staff function as a link between the inmate, community and the Board of Parole and Post-Prison Supervision.
Inmates submit release plans to their release counselors.
These plans include proposed residence, employment, transportation and needed community services. The release counselor forwards this plan, along with available file material and documentation to the local community corrections office where the inmate will be supervised. The proposed plan and information is then investigated and verified. The result of this investigation is returned to the release counselor who then submits all available information along with recommended conditions for supervision to the Board of Parole and Post Prison Supervision. Release staff then prepare the necessary documents which allow for the physical release of the inmate.
