Report from the Senate
by Senator Keith Huron.
District 6, Portland, Or,
One of the bills which has
drawn the greatest amount
of attention before the com
mittee on Local Government
and Urban Affairs, of which
I am Chairman, is SB 159,
the Landlord and Tenant
Act.
The Committee has
held extensive hearings and
will continue to do so until
the bill is sent to the full
Senate for its consideration.
The bill provides for a
balance under the law be
tween the landlord and the
tenant. Many of the exist
ing landlord and tenant laws
date back to medieval En
gland and are certainly un
realistic in l i g h t of the
modern u r b a n
problems
which we face today.

The responsibility of the
Work Release Program does
not stop with the fairly
cloistered life of the inside
of the Portland Men’s Cen
ter. As stated before, the
ultimate goal of the W ork
Release Program is to re
turn the ex-convict to soci
ety and to provide him with
the social tools to assure
that he will not return to
prison.
The most common prob
lem with most convicts is
that they are released from
prison, are given $100 by
the state as a gratuity, a
new suit of clothes and are
told “good luck."
More
often than not that luck is
bad. as is attested to by the
65 to 70 ■»% of the ex-con
victs who return to ja.l.
After a few days the $100 is
gone, the suit just barely
keeps him warm, he can’t
find a job because no one
wants to hire an ex-convict,
so there is only one thing
left to do: go back to his old
habits • rob a store, mug
somebody, or burglarize a
house.
The halfw ay house at
tempts to gradually inte
grate the man back into
society. The first and most
important thing it does in
find the man a job. That is
no simple task. First and
foremost, there is the preju
dice that most employers
have
against ex-convicts.
Second, there is the fact
that the work records of the
men often look like a list of
motel stops on a three week
cross country trip. How do
you overcome handicaps and
obstacles such as these?
"The key word is coopera
tion.” insists Manfred Maass.
“W ithout the cooperation of
local businessmen, and of
the community, we could not
possibly succeed.”
Five
prominent Portlanders have
considered this program im
portant enough to come for
ward and serve the Commu
nity Advisory Council. The
chairman of that council, Ira
Mumford, who is the man
power information specialist
for Operation Step-up, has
devoted considerable time to
talking to prospective em
ployers for the clients of the
Work Release Program.
He also helped organize a
number of activities to ben
efit the men of the Center.
Last Christmas he lent a
hand in organizing a gala
Christmas party which the
men,
their
families
and
friends attended.
Other
council
members
are Jean Higgenbotham of
F IS H , who provides the men
with free clothes when they
first arrive at the Portland
Men’s Center.

159 would go a long way
toward correcting these pro
blems.
For example, some
of the biggest complaints
voiced by tenants are the
return of security deposits
and the so called "landlords
lien", which permits t h e
landlord to take the personal
property of a tenant for
non payment of rent.
An
other major complaint by
tenants is that when they
complain about the need of
repairs, some landlords will
vict them.
Two of the
biggest
la n d lo r d
p.-v
hlems faced in our society
are that there is no real
duly upon the tenant to
maintain the premises in a
lil and habitable condition,
and the tenant staying in
the premises while not pay
mg rent.
The bill would
apply directly to these pro
blems and is not onesided.
It clearly establishes duties,
responsibilities and reason
able conduct on the part of
luith the landlord and the
tenant.

Most important though, is

jobs.
Once they have jobs
they are in a position to feel
real self respect, and put
themselves in a position to
be able to rejoin society.
The most important fea
lure of the W’ork Release
Program to the taxpayer is
that it takes the men who
have jobs off the support
rolls of the state.
The
money they earn provides at
least part of their support,
from $3.50 to $5.50 per day,
on top of that it pays for
their
clothing,
for
their
transportation to and from
work and for the welfare of
their families.
Together
with that they save what
ever money is left over in a
special account administered
by the Division of Correc
tions.
When the men are
released to go back into
society, they often have over
$1,000 saved.
Other services provided
include group therapy sea
sions and individual psychol
ogical therapy upon individ
ual request.
In the next biennium the
Division of Corrections is
requesting five more such
centers from the legislature.
