CURRENT ISSUES AND EVENTS
April 30, 2021

Our next OV general meeting will be on May 15, 2021, 2:00-4:15 PM via Zoom. We will resume our Oregon City meetings as soon as feasible. Watch your email for details.

COVID REGISTRATION UPDATE

Since March, 2020, due to the pandemic, the Oregon State Police have allowed telephone registration. Since Oregon law specifies in-person registration, check the “Register by Phone” link on the OSP website for possible resumption.

COVID-19 IN OUR PRISONS

After a long year of no visitation, the DOC started a visitation pilot at OSP in early April but recently paused the pilot effective April 30 due to Governor Brown’s announcement of extremely high risk levels for Marion County and several other counties. The pause in visiting cannot be lifted until Marion County’s risk level drops to High Risk or lower. DOC’s plan to introduce additional visiting pilots at other institutions in the coming weeks is also on hold. See the ODOC website for more information.

REGISTRATION RELIEF HEARINGS

OV would like to congratulate two former registrants on our email list who were granted relief from registration in the last two months. They are part of the 80% who have been successful.
