PSRB BASICS

Individuals who are found GEI or REI do not have a criminal convic on. Instead, they will receive rehabilita ve services and

psychiatric treatment. Vic ms should not expect the Board to focus on punishment.

Once the criminal case is over, defendants are referred to as pa ents or clients.

The PSRB has an outstanding safety record. The re‐oﬀense rate for PSRB pa ents is less than 1%. The re‐oﬀense rate for the

Department of Correc ons is 30%.

Not all those found GEI or REI go the Oregon State Hospital (OSH). For those who are admi ed to OSH, there is no minimum

or set amount of me they will stay there.

The PSRB is required by law to condi onally release a pa ent into the community if they can be safely supervised outside of

the hospital.

For those released into the community, the vast majority of pa ents are placed in a secured treatment facility. Pa ents may

step‐down to lower levels of supervision and care. While some pa ents may be allowed to live independently, others may

always need some level of staﬀ support.

Types of Hearings

Ini al Hearing: All pa ents who are found GEI/REI have a preliminary

hearing no later than ninety (90) days following sentencing.
