the court process (Juvenile provides the same services as the DA for youth up to and including help at trial).

supervision process. (Same services that Community Corrections provides).
Informal - Keeping youth out of the court process and
without a “formal” record.

SLIDE 11
Do the Dollars make Sense?
Our entire budget of $1,100,800/415 = $2,652.00 ($1,971 from county funds) Current prison bed rate in Oregon is $87.08 per day That’s 30.5 days in prison for the same $$$ A 20 year Measure 11 sentence = $635,684 We do the preventative work on the front end, so the adult system won’t have to intervene with punishment (Measure11) or rehabilitation on the back end.
