Community Corrections
UNION / WALLOWA COUNTY COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS Most Wanted List The Union/Wallowa County Community Corrections Program promotes public safety by holding offenders accountable for their actions, and reducing the risk of future criminal behavior. This department provides supervision of felony parole, post-prison supervision, and probation offenders and person-to-person misdemeanant offenders. A parolee is someone whose crime occurred before November 1, 1989 and was sentenced to the custody of the Department of Corrections for an indeterminate amount of time, the length determined by the Board of Parole. Upon completion of that sentence the offender is released into the community on parole. An offender on post-prison is someone whose crime occurred after November 1, 1989 and was sentenced to the custody of the Department of Corrections (if there is at least one sentence of thirteen months or more) or the Union County Supervisory Authority (in cases where there is no one sentence of thirteen months or more) for a determinate time under Sentencing Guidelines. Upon completion of the sentence the offender is released on post-prison supervision. A probationer is someone sentenced to community supervision. A jail sentence may be involved as a condition of the probation. Parole/probation officer’s duties include making home visits…
