OAR 416-300-0015
Release Factors and Review Process
(1)
OYA considers the following factors when determining a youth offender’s readiness for conditional release from a youth correction facility:(a) The youth offender’s efforts, participation in and progress on treatment, educational, vocational, and behavioral goals;
(b) Whether the youth offender has made and agrees to continue to make restitution to the victim;
(c) Availability of safe placement for the youth offender and availability of community resources to support the youth offender’s continued development;
(d) The threat of harm the youth offender represents to self or others;
(e) The impact of the youth offender’s release on the victim and the community;
(f) Any applicable predictive data tools;
(g) The youth offender’s demonstrated development of markers of psychosocial maturity shown by research to be corroborated with desistance from crime; and
(h) Any other factors or circumstances deemed relevant by OYA based upon the individual characteristics and circumstances of the youth offender.
(2) OYA must identify a written release readiness review process by OYA policy. The process must include an executive-level review for youth offenders whose cases are identified as administratively sensitive as set forth in OAR 416-430-0000 (Purpose), or who qualify for a public safety reserve bed as set forth in OAR 416-410-0020 (Allocation of Close-custody Beds)(1)(a).
