Oregon prisons to release more inmates as COVID-19 outbreaks continue

SALEM — Oregon Gov. Kate Brown is set to commute the sentences of approximately 130 Oregon prison inmates this week. Some are at high risk for COVID-19 while others are being released to create more space in the state’s prisons. The inmates are expected to be released from prisons Thursday, Dec. 17. At the beginning of the month, Brown said inmates with six months left on their sentences and who meet certain criteria are eligible for having their sentences commuted. Previously, only inmates with two months left on their sentences were eligible. State officials could not immediately confirm an exact figure on the latest round of releases Dec. 14.
