137.592 Policy
regarding probation violations.
The Legislative Assembly finds that:
(1) To protect
the public, the criminal justice system must compel compliance with the
conditions of probation by responding to violations with swift, certain and
fair punishments.
(2) Decisions to
incarcerate offenders in state prisons for violation of the conditions of
probation must be made upon a reasonably systematic basis that will insure that
available prison space is used to house those offenders who constitute a
serious threat to the public, taking into consideration the availability of
both prison space and local resources. [1993 c.680 §8]
Note: 137.592 to 137.599 were enacted
into law by the Legislative Assembly but were not added to or made a part of
ORS chapter 137 or any series therein by legislative action. See Preface to
Oregon Revised Statutes for further explanation.
