Share your story

If you’ve experienced Oregon’s justice system — as someone who was incarcerated, a family member, an employer, or someone who works in reentry — your story can change how Oregon sees this program. You choose how much to share, and what name (if any) appears.

Your privacy is protected. All stories are reviewed before publication. You control your name and level of detail. Nothing is published without your explicit consent. This form does not collect contact information unless you choose to provide it.
