Subject: Changes to STTL
The Short-Term Transitional Leave (STTL) rule is changing! The new rule will become effec-
tive on June 12, 2017. A few of the more significant changes are highlighted below. If you
are currently eligible for short-term transitional leave, please review the changes carefully.
For more detail you can obtain and review a copy of the revised rule (OAR 291.063) through
your facility law library.
Significant Changes
Additional crimes are now restricted from being eligible.
You cannot have been found guilty of any Level 1 or 2 major violations within 15
months of your projected release date (PRD).
You cannot have received a failure of corrections plan (FOCP) within 15 months of
your projected release date (PRD).
You cannot have failed non-prison or short-term transitional leave during your current
term of DOC incarceration, or the one immediately previous.
You cannot have been designated as a sexually violent dangerous offender, predatory
sexual offender, or classified as a Tier III sex offender.
You must have an eligible period of post-prison supervision.
The new rule also adds an Administrative Review Process. An offender may obtain an admin-
istrative review of a denial by submitting a request in writing to the Assistant Director of the
Community Corrections Division. All administrative review decisions are final. Since the
rule now includes this process, grievances regarding STTL denials will no longer be accepted
or processed.
After reading the rule if you still have questions regarding your eligibility please contact your
release counselor.

Seasonal allergy time…is upon us at PRCF! The best hay fever treatment is to avoid the substances that cause your reaction. Howev-er, this isn't always possible. These self-care measures should provide you some relief….
Antihistamine Claritin (Loratadine) is available on canteen. Newer oral antihista-mines work as well or better than the older antihistamines and are less likely to make you drowsy.
Try to identify the allergen and avoid it!
Analgesics may help with discomfort; Tylenol, Ibuprofen and Aspirin are available on the unit.
Drink plenty of fluids.
Continue to practice good hygiene…washing face (especially when you return from outside) and hands often.
It is suggested that you use available canteen products. If you have purchased the availa-ble allergy medication and you are still experiencing significant allergy symptoms, please notify Medical Services.
Notice from R&D
Reminder: If you are no longer part of the outside crews, but still have outside crew gear, please return it ASAP to R&D.
(Example: Boots, Gloves, Safety vests etc).
Powder River Correctional Facility invites you and your family to participate in the fifth annual Family Day. Family Day was created to

Tired of all the red lights in life?
G.P Outreach gives the green light to a successful and
rewarding lifestyle

Be on the look out for the next round of G.P. Outreach Sign Up Sheets on your unit. If you miss the Sign Up Sheet
please send a communication to Mr. Washington to be added to the list.
Here’s what a G.P. Committee member has to say
For nearly nine years I’ve been wasting away in prison, dwelling on every-
thing that I’ve lost. It’s pointless to count the times I’ve told myself and others
that I would do anything for another chance at life, another chance to be with my
3 beautiful children. I’ve seen many others say the same, get that chance and
throw it all away once again for their addiction. I came to the conclusion that no
matter how many chances I get it doesn’t matter until I can confront my addiction.
In my addiction, my value system was distorted, it didn’t matter what I put at
the top of my list, my children, women, freedom; none of it mattered. I would
always choose my addiction first. For a lot of years I have waited for this oppor-
tunity to get into the AIP Program. I didn’t let all the horror stories about the pro-
gram distract me; how hard the program was, that it was a rat program, that I
would walk around like a brainwashed robot for 16 hours a day. I told myself not
to take anything that people said to heart because we all know that misery loves
company, but still, I was worried! I couldn’t help it.
Failing the program was not an option for me, so I signed up for GP Outreach
to see what it was honestly about and how I could prepare for the program. They
answered my questions and told me ways that I could get a head start in the pro-
gram. I did what I could and remained patient. Eventually my time came to go
into the program, 45 months sooner I get to be with my children and to do all the
things that I’ve been dreaming about for years. So yah, I’m getting a time cut, but
more than that, I’ve learned the tools that I need to ensure that there will never be
another prison sentence for me to do in the future.
The AIP Program is nothing like others have made it out to be, it’s actually
harder to fail than it is to succeed. The accountability system is no more than a
way to address one and others behaviors, its up to us (the peers to handle behav-
iors at the lowest level). We don’t get the C/O’s or the staff involved. And yes we
do get up early, but it’s teaching me the importance of structure and organization.
I believe the communication skills that I’ve learned are going to make me a better
father, son, husband, friend and employee. I’ve learned to be assertive, set
boundaries and how to express myself in a pro-social manner. I’m tired of being
sick and tired and I can’t wait to experience my life in new ways rather than just
survive in a state of miserable existence. I am extremely grateful for the oppor-
tunity that the AIP Program has provided for me.
