A new order from Oregon's chief justice requires holding those suspected of serious drug crimes in jail until arraignment, aligning them with violent felony suspects to prioritize public safety.
Previously, illegal drug dealing suspects could have been released, but now they are mandated to stay in jail until the legal process progresses.
The order intends to ensure that individuals involved in serious drug crimes are treated similarly to those facing charges for violent felonies, boosting community safety.
The new directive is expected to impact the legal process in Oregon, particularly for individuals linked to the most severe drug offenses, like trafficking or manufacturing.
