Juvenile Justice Reform
C ontinued from P age 2
said. “And she wanted to make
sure that we understood that we
were creating our next neighbors.”
The bill was also vehemently
supported by Attorney General
Ellen Rosenblum, Oregon De-
partment of Corrections Director
Colette Peters, Oregon Youth Au-
thority Director Joseph O’Leary,
the Board of Parole, county juve-
nile directors, many judges and
attorneys, and American Civil
Liberties Union (ACLU) Oregon.
ACLU Oregon Policy Director
Kimberly McCollough lauded the
bill as a shift in focus from pre-
vention to rehabilitation in the ju-
venile justice system.
“We applaud Oregon’s legisla-
ture and Governor for shifting to
what works with youth justice,”
she said. “Young people have a re-
markable capacity for change. The
vast majority of youth who com-
mit crimes age out of criminal be-
havior and no longer pose a threat
to society in adulthood. SB 1008’s
reforms will give youth who take
accountability for their mistakes
and successfully rehabilitate a
second chance to become produc-
tive members of society.”
Other updates to juvenile sen-
tencing requirements in the bill
include requiring an addition-
al review before a youth with a
long sentence is transferred to an
adult prison and ensuring a pro-
cess whereby youth convicted of a
crime who are under 18 receive a
chance for parole after 15 years of
incarceration.
The law, which is not retroac-
tive, will go into effect Jan. 1.
