(1) When a circuit court in a participating county sentences a person to a term of imprisonment, the court may order that the person participate in a reentry court, subject to admission under subsection (3) of this section, as a condition of post-prison supervision. (2) At any time prior to the termination of post-prison supervision, the supervisory authority may provide a report to the reentry court recommending that a person sentenced under subsection (1) of this section be admitted into the reentry court. (3) When a reentry court receives a report described in subsection (2) of this section, or an adult in custody release plan prepared under ORS 144.096, that recommends the admission of a person sentenced under subsection (1) of this section into a reentry court, the court may enter an order admitting the person into the reentry court. (4) Notwithstanding ORS 137.124 and 423.478 and any other provision of law, when a court enters an order admitting a person into a reentry court, the court may: (a) Issue a warrant and cause the person to be arrested for violating a condition of post-prison supervision. (b) Appoint counsel to represent the person in accordance with ORS 135.050, if the person is financially eligible. (c) Determine whether the conditions of post-prison supervision have been violated and impose sanctions for the violations. (5)(a) When the court conducts a post-prison supervision violation hearing under this section, the person may admit or deny alleged violations of conditions of post-prison supervision. The person and the state may present evidence at the hearing. (b) If the court determines by a preponderance of the evidence that a person admitted into a reentry court has violated the conditions of post-prison supervision, the court may impose sanctions for the violations that are consistent with the rules adopted under ORS 144.106 and 144.107, except that the court may not impose a sanction of imprisonment in a correctional facility that exceeds 12 months. (6)(a) When a court issues a warrant under this section and causes a person admitted into a reentry court to be arrested and taken into custody for violating a condition of post-prison supervision, the person shall be brought before a magistrate during the first 36 hours in custody, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. The magistrate may order the person held pending a violation hearing or transferred to the county in which the reentry court is located, or may release the person upon the condition that the person appear in court at a later date for a post-prison violation hearing. If the person is held on an out-of-county warrant, the magistrate may order the person released subject to an additional order that the person report within seven calendar days to the reentry court. (b) Except for good cause shown, if the person is held in custody and the violation hearing is not held within 14 calendar days following the persons arrest, the person shall be released from custody. (7) As used in this section, participating county means a county: (a) That has applied for and received a grant under ORS 137.835 to administer a reentry court; and (b) For which the presiding judge of the judicial district in which the county is located issues an order establishing a reentry court steering committee consisting of: (A) A circuit court judge; (B) A district attorney; (C) A criminal defense attorney; (D) A parole and probation officer; (E) A representative of the business community; (F) A representative of the education community; and (G) Any other person the presiding judge determines is appropriate.
