Talk:Oregon Department of Corrections

message: 1996: constitution amended by Measure 26, from
*"Laws for the punishment of crime shall be founded on the principles of reformation, and not of vindictive justice." to
*"Laws for the punishment of crime shall be founded on these principles: protection of society, personal responsibility, accountability for one's actions and reformation."
http://www.crimevictimsunited.org/issues/measure26.htm
Measure 40 passed, promoting victims' rights, but was overturned because it amended multiple parts of the constitution, resulting in:
1999: Measures 69-75 (four of seven passed)
Also, we need an article on Arwen Bird and Crime Victims United (Steve Doell could redirect to the latter.)

thread_title:  Fundamental changes 

message: I think a better solution would be to change the name of the List of Oregon state prisons into List of Oregon prisons and jails. This makes it less redundant and means we can have just one list instead of one for state prisons, one for the federal prison, and one for the jails, and one for any possible private/military/tribal detention facilities that might exist.

thread_title:  Merge discussion 

message: It seems the "fallen officers" section isn't terribly notable, and fails due to WP:NOTMEMORIAL. Can anyone rewrite the three possibly notable people on that list? I mean, there should be some text for Harry Tracy, and maybe for Michael Francke and Harry Minto. tedder (talk) 03:34, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The whole fallen officers thing in general was discussed a while back at the Law Enforcement wikiproject. I'm not sure any conclusions were reached. I'll go see if I can find the thread. Katr67 (talk) 03:56, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Ah, it's been brought up again recently and they referenced the thread I started. I was right, the original thread didn't resolve anything. Here 'tis: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Law_Enforcement#"Fallen Officers"_sections. Katr67 (talk) 03:59, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks Katr67. It's always nice to know about policy and project discussions I didn't even know existed. FWIW, I see in your edit summary that you agree, but your comments don't really reflect that. tedder (talk) 04:09, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry, sometimes I (probably misuse) edit summaries as a kind of subtext to my talk page comments. (Like the edit summary in this post in which is good-natured teasing.) But it should be clear from the thread I started at WT:LE that I don't think these sections are a good idea. My thoughts on the subject are pretty much complete over there, but in regards to this page, yes, I think prosifying the fallen officers section is the best idea if we don't hear any strenuous objections. I'm not likely to get around to it very soon. If Tiptoety is around maybe he would like to do it, since he's shown an interest in these kind of article before. Katr67 (talk) 17:29, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
