About the Oregon Board of Parole & Post-Prison Supervision

The Oregon Board of Parole and Post-Prison Supervision serves a vital role in public safety by making evidence-informed decisions, utilizing innovative tools, and operating with efficiency and accountability.

The Board’s primary responsibilities include setting release dates for eligible adults in custody, establishing post-prison supervision conditions, and determining notification levels for individuals convicted of sex offenses. In parole hearings, the Board evaluates each individual's rehabilitation efforts and risk to reoffend, guided by psychological evaluations and validated risk assessment tools. Release decisions are limited to specific populations, such as those convicted of aggravated murder or designated as “dangerous offenders,” and are made in accordance with sentencing laws in effect at the time of the offense. For individuals transitioning from incarceration, the Board sets supervision requirements, issues warrants, and approves sanctions when necessary. While it does not provide daily supervision—that duty lies with the Oregon Department of Corrections and local community corrections agencies—the Board works closely with these partners to support successful reentry using sound, evidence-based practices.

Since 2015, the Board has also overseen Oregon’s Sex Offender Leveling Program, which assigns registrants to a three-tier notification system using the Static-99R risk assessment. The program applies both to newly released individuals and to those previously registered, who are reviewed on a rolling basis. The Board also holds hearings to consider relief from reporting obligations for eligible individuals and offers reclassification opportunities under specific criteria. Through these responsibilities, the Board strives to ensure fair, consistent, and risk-informed decisions that promote both rehabilitation and community safety.
