Oregon Sanction for in-state travel while on Post Prison Supervision

[TheEmberLeader]

In Oregon, OAR 255-070-0001, Exhibit J enumerates the conditions that an offender being released on Post-Prison Supervision must abide by. Special condition 6 states in part that:

"The offender shall abide by all rules and conditions of the sex offender treatment program"​

In the present case, the treatment program has a that an offender submit privilege requests in order to travel very far outside the city (fuzzy on the limits), and it must be approved by the therapist and the Parole Officer. However, this regulation is not outlined in paper anywhere, nor is travel mentioned at all in the contract signed by the offender. There is no general or special condition in Exhibit J or ORS 144.102 that limits travel "in-state" (They do sanction out-of-state travel).

Does the condition that an offender abide by "all rules and conditions" only apply to written rules (such as the signed contract) or does it apply to any rule, verbal or assumed? Bonus points for case-law citations.

Please keep all of your "post-prison" questions to one thread, TheEmberLeader. Thank you.

You also might want to explain what these questions have to do with you personally. Or are you just a curious sort?

Thanks for the information quincy. I'll keep things to a minimum when I post again.

I guess I should have said a bit about my interest. I'm a part-time paralegal, and I work with mainly criminal cases. We had someone come in with the questions earlier, but we didn't take the case. In my limited time, I haven't been able to do much research, but I wanted to know what the community could come up with regarding these issues - maybe I'll be able to convince my boss to take the job anyway.
