Reducing crime through effective criminal justice advocacy
Oregon CURE (Citizens United for Rehabilitation of Errants) is an official state chapter of National CURE, which has been working since 1972 to improve the criminal justice system for the benefit of those incarcerated, their families, and society as a whole. We believe that fair, humane, and effective justice policy makes Oregon safer for everyone.
