#2,477 - Portland's attempt at recriminalization includes jail for suspects caught at night or on weekends
Manage episode 437640620 series 2792715
People caught with drugs in Portland, Oregon, between 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. and on weekends may be arrested and taken to jail starting next week, according to police.
It's a temporary solution as Multnomah County works to get a deflection center up and running to offer people suspected of low-level drug possession the option of treatment over jail once drugs become recriminalized on Sept. 1, The Oregonian reported Monday.
Oregon pioneered the nation's first drug decriminalization law, which took effect in early 2021. But soaring overdose deaths and rampant public drug use quickly turned voters against the measure, numerous polls showed.
