OAR 255-040-0005: Scheduling of Personal Reviews

(1) The Board may reduce an established prison term, as defined in OAR 255-005-0005, after a personal review. (2) The Board may conduct personal reviews every three years for those inmates whose crimes were committed prior to November 1, 1989. The review period shall begin on the original adjusted commitment date on an uninterrupted period of incarceration. (3) Inmates with an established prison term of 36 months or less may be eligible for a personal review after they have served at least six months of their established prison term within a Department of Corrections institution. (4) The Board will only conduct a personal review after it has received a positive recommendation for a reduction in the prison term from the Department of Corrections. (5) Inmates sentenced for aggravated murder or as dangerous offenders, and those whose parole the Board denied are not subject to personal reviews. Dangerous offenders may be eligible for personal reviews upon receipt of a positive recommendation from the Department of Corrections, if the Board has found their condition absent or in remission and has set a parole release date. (6) After the Department of Corrections sends a recommendation, the Board may accept another recommendation for the period under review.
