OAR 416-300-0020: Parole

(1) When it is determined by OYA that an adjudicated youth is ready for conditional release from a youth correction facility and after notifying the committing court of the intended release, the superintendent may parole the adjudicated youth. (2) Parole is formalized by a written Juvenile Parole/Probation Agreement that includes the following understandings and conditions: (a) Parole is a conditional release and does not restore full freedom; (b) The person(s) with whom the adjudicated youth is placed will have custody of the adjudicated youth subject to supervision by the OYA; (c) Conditions of parole are subject to modification by OYA at any time, including an increase or decrease in supervision level or other changes OYA deems necessary; and (d) Parole may be revoked or an intermediate sanction imposed if the adjudicated youth violates any written condition, or if OYA finds that continuation of parole is not in the best interests of the adjudicated youth or the community. (3) Adjudicated youth on parole must: (a) Abide by the conditions of the Juvenile Parole/Probation Agreement; (b) Remain within the control and care of the person(s) who has custody of the adjudicated youth; (c) Inform the juvenile parole/probation officer (JPPO) of the adjudicated youth’s whereabouts, including obtaining prior approval before changing residences, being absent overnight from an approved residence, or leaving the state for any reason; (d) Obey all federal and state laws, and all county and city ordinances; and (e) Abide by the direction of the JPPO and the provisions of any written agreements, including special conditions. (4) Notwithstanding section (3)(d), an allegation that an adjudicated youth’s presence in the United States is in violation of federal immigration laws will not be deemed by OYA to violate that condition of parole.
