The United States Department of Justice has already determined that the care and conditions at Oregon State Hospital violate patient?s safety and their constitutional right to good care. Will a federal lawsuit be required to correct the deficiencies? When correctional institutions are faced with similar federal lawsuits because of over crowding they are forced to release inmates to the streets. Oregonians are concerned about their safety. The question is will they be safer having someone under the supervision of the PSRB in a supervised residential facility or having that person simply released to live on their own?
