for the federal court
Under program guidelines.
I .arson will not plea bargain: he
will prosecute Jones for Theft I
a felony instead of a lesser
offense.
Larson will also ask for the
maximum sentencing time, and
that Jones serve consecutive
sentences for all offenses provi
ouslv committed.
Although it is too soon to
evaluate accurately the long
term success of the program.
Capt. Ben Sunderland, director
of the Adult Corrections Divi
sion. pointed to its immediate
effectiveness in reducing crime
by locking up those who com
mit repeat offenses.
Sunderland estimates that
about 60 percent of the lame
County Jail's residents are re
peat offenders.
Developed by tnc Eugene Po
lice Department, the Repeat Of
fender Program began as one of
three model programs spon
sored by the Police Executive
Research Eorum, a Washington
D C.-based think tank
The program involves a co
operative effort between police,
district attorney, courts and
sheriff’s department to identify
and incarcerate repeat offend
ers, said Rob Olson. HIM) pro
gram coordinator
The program is based on an
already existing criminal jus
tice system computer network,
which scans police records and
identifies individuals with the
six prior arrests necessary to
quality for repeat offender slat
us.
The program will get many
criminals off the streets initial
ly because it requires officers to
take repeat offenders into cus
tody if they have committed a
jailable offense
111 the past, police had the
option to cite or release the re
peat offender.
At the District Attorney's of
fice, criminals identified as re
peat offenders will no longer lx*
permitted to plea bargain,
which usually results in a less
er charge, Olson said, adding
that the program requires th.it
repeat offenders be ( barged
wiin tne ot!t*ns(>* witn wnuii
they were brought in
The l^iin! County fail and al
ternative corrections institu
tions art! the thirrl leg of the
program. Despite overcrowded
conditions, jail authorities give
repeat offenders higher priority
than other criminals whenever
possible. Sunderland said
Local parole and probation
officials have responded to the
program by initiating their own
program of intensive supervi
sion of repeat offenders.
Three parole officers are as
signed solely to repeat offend
ers on parole or granted tempo
rary leave, said Preston Smith,
a state parole and probation of
ficer.
