Juvenile program falls to budget ax
(Continued from p. 1 col. 3)
On June 30th. 1976. the model
neighborhood will most likely lose a
service for youth and families which has
been operating in the community for the
last three years.
The Case Management Project, an
intensive probation program, has been in
existence since January. 1973.
It is funded by the Law Enforcement
Assistance Administration (L.E.A.A.).
This is part of the High Impact anti-crime
program for which Portland received
approximately twenty million dollars
The service centers are located at four
different sites within the North, North
cast, and Southeast areas of Portland.
These service centers deal with young
people age ten through seventeen
inclusive. Clients are referred through
the Multnomah County Juvenile Court
after admitting, or the Juvenile Court
substantiating, a charge resulting from a
target incident. A target crime includes
burglary, robbery, assault - including
menacing with a weapon - rape and
homicde.
Emphasis is on model caseload sizes
averaging between twenty and twenty-
four clients. Direct client service by staff
is intensive and emphasis is on outreach.
Examples are family services within the
home, intensified school and collateral
contacts, and development of positive
experiences, such as recreation and
employment activities for clientele. De
pending on needs, contacts have ranged
to five times weekly per client. Reports
from school officials and other collateral
agencies, as well as the families them
selves, have been positive.
Unlike the traditional system, services
can be purchased which include psychia
trie, psychological, educational, recrea
tional. and a variety of others that might
meet the child's needs. Basically, the
CMCS project puts into practice most of
the suggestions of the modern correc
tional theory: reduced caseloads, com
munity based approach, and individualiz
ed service on the basis of need. A final
evaluation of the project produced by the
Oregon Law Enforcement Council Impact
Evaluation unit, indicates some highly
positive results. The evaluation com

ment clients with target offenders that

also maintains “any form of drug
zombifies people." Powers agrees that
ritalin (or 'fast ones' - which sell illegally
for about $4.00 a pill) is probably the main
drug used by methadone addicts to get
over the block the methadone produces.
“A month or so ago the FBI went through
the files - there are psychological profiles
on all the 'clients' -- what do you think
they were looking for?” Powers asks.
Heroin
Bill Freeman, head of the Portland
office of the Drug Enforcement Agency,
says that heroin sells for between $65 and
$100 a gram, and is about three percent
pure. Freeman's guess is that there are
between three and ten thousand heroin
addicts in the city. In the last three years
about $150,000 was collected in drug
busts. If the money 'assessed' is under
$1.000, it is absorbed by the DEA. If over
thousand, it is turned over to the IRS.
Critics maintain that money gotten in this
way is used to pay a plethora of agents
and informers (shared with other gov­
ernment agencies like the FBI and LEAA
funded or controlled agencies) who in
turn offer a virtual license to the agents
to commit crime (see, for example, Louis
Tackwood's LEAA LAPD covered crim­
inal activity in The Glass House Tapes or

In the past six months there have
reportedly been four methadone deaths
(illegal methadone), according to Powers.
Joe Feurey, a writer for the New York
Post, estimates that methadone deaths in
New York City occur at the rate of one
per day. Methadone sells for about $30
on the street (Portland). Persons with no
serious drug history ran be killed on 50
mg. of methadone the drug can also be
legal when mixed - it can 'potentiate', for
example, with alcohol: "one and one can
equal ten.” The primary area of Portland
for heroin is in the southeast, followed by
the northeast. Portland is probably fifth
in heroin traffic on the west coast.
A methadone counselor who wished
not to be identified said that Dr. Robert
Dupont, who is known as Mr. Purse
strings', ran the "most corrupt of the
methadone maintenance centers -- in
Washington. D.C. He was notorious for
the amount of graft he encouraged:
selling jobs, maintaining heroin habits of
the counselors, pimping for prostitutes
who were on the maintenance program,
and the like. During Dupont's tenure
there were 22 maintenance centers in
D.C. (now there are twelve or thirteen).
And now Dupont is the head of NIDA
(the Drug .Agency under the Health, Ed
ucation and Welfare Department). “Good
people aren't staying (counselors)...lower
Ipvel publicans are heavily screened at
the top...there's no criticism allowed."

The bank has hired armed guards and
