§ 144.040 Board to determine parole and post-prison supervision violations

If you're on parole or post-prison supervision in Oregon, a state board decides whether you've broken the rules of your release. This board, called the State Board of Parole and Post-Prison Supervision, is the group in charge of looking at specific cases and deciding if a violation actually happened.

This matters because it's not a police officer or your supervising officer who makes the final call on whether you violated your conditions. The board reviews the facts of each case and makes that decision. If they find a violation happened, it can affect your release status and lead to other consequences, like changes to your supervision or even a return to custody.
