Table 1.

Oregon Senate Bill (SB) 416 Program Eligibility Criteria.

Inclusion Criteria

  • Resident of county

  • Prison-bound repeat felony property offender

  • Substance abuse problems are present (Note: the individual may or may not have a drug offense, but some evidence of problematic substance use is required)

  • Medium or high risk, as identified by the Level of Services/Case Management Inventory (LS/CMI) or a similar assessment tool

Automatic Exclusion Criteria

  • Prior sexual offense convictions

  • Domestic violence convictions in the past 10 years

  • Felony person crime convictions within the past 10 years (Robbery III does not necessarily disqualify if District Attorney deems the use of force to be minimal)

  • Individuals in need of a higher level of mental health care than can be provided with standard clinic-based services

  • Crimes that have a vulnerable victim and/or involve a violation of trust (e.g., elder abuse, embezzlement/employee fraud, organized ID theft/forgery/check fraud ring [i.e., racketeering])

Other Considerations in Determining Ineligibility (Note: The following are not “rule outs” but, if present, are considered carefully before deeming an individual eligible)

  • Repeated violence convictions (i.e., repeated felony or misdemeanor person convictions)

  • Domestic violence convictions or felony person crime convictions from more than 10 years ago that raise enough concern to exclude the candidate (e.g., multiple prior such convictions; not completing terms successfully)

  • Excessive arrest cycles (e.g., 30 and above)

  • Pattern of repeated (i.e., 5+) instances of Failure to Appear (FTA)

  • Significant amount of other crimes associated with the targeted crime

  • Multiple assaultive arrest cycles

  • Other person-to-person crimes (i.e., endangering, tampering with witness, etc.)

  • Other high-risk concerns (i.e., restraining/stalking orders, outstanding warrants including municipal/out-of-state)

  • Objection by victim that cannot be addressed by the District Attorney’s Office or relevant new information provided by victim (e.g., unreported crimes committed by the individual)

  • Combination of High to Very High risk in multiple areas (LS/CMI, etc.)

  • Motivation level (e.g., pre-contemplation stage) based on the University of Rhode Island Change Assessment (URICA) or comments made by client during interview process

  • Pattern of poor performance on current/prior supervision (i.e., multiple sanctions/warrants)

  • Other reasons indicating low likelihood of success or extensive history demonstrating lack of success (e.g., has already obtained a substantial amount of programming; does not take responsibility for the crime)
