Those resources can also help people in custody address other legal issues that can increase their chances for stability and success once they are released. The law requires that people in state custody have access to legal resources to pursue cases related to their confinement. вЂњPut more simply, weвЂ™ve implemented a system for secure access to legal information in correctional facilities that could become a national model.вЂќ

вЂњWe believe we are the first corrections agency in the nation to provide a soundly secure, internal, cloud-based legal resource system to adults in custody,вЂќ said Kelly Raths, Adults in Custody (AIC) and Community Advocacy Administrator for the Oregon Department of Corrections. The Oregon Youth Authority (OYA) and Oregon State Hospital (OSH) will also benefit from this new system. The new program reimagines the traditional prison law library to improve access to legal information for adults and youth in state custody. Thanks to a new partnership between the Oregon Department of Corrections (DOC) and the State of Oregon Law Library (SOLL) вЂ“ part of the Oregon Judicial Department (OJD), people in custody now have secure access to legal information from the cloud without the risks of broad internet access.

But thatвЂ™s not true, for a lot of good reasons, for people held in correctional facilities. Most people can hop on the internet and find a wide range of legal information when they need it.
