Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion (LEAD) is a Multnomah County pre-booking diversion program. LEAD allows police officers to redirect low-level offenders involved in drug activity to intensive case management tailored to the individual’s needs instead of jail and prosecution. The goals of the LEAD program are to reduce the harm that a drug offender causes him or herself and the surrounding community, reduce recidivism rates for low-level offenders, reduce the number of low-level offenders in jail, and decrease the number of people of color prosecuted for low-level drug possession. Participation is voluntary but requires completion of an in-depth assessment within 30- days of arrest for the case not to be filed. Central City Concern provides the intensive case management services for LEAD participants. +

Liberation Literacy’s mission is to build social justice literacy in prisons in order to reimagine and rearticulate the relationship between incarceration, the community, and ourselves. Liberation Literacy aims to be directly led and structurally driven by individuals who were formerly or are currently imprisoned, and people impacted by incarceration. To do so, their core goal is maintaining a connection and uplifting the needs of their members at Columbia Rive Correctional Institution (CRCI). The initiatives organized by Liberation Literacy reflect the current needs of those at CRCI such as supporting their families, roles as parents, food for their communities, housing, financial support, mental health, and trauma-informed healing.
The effects of COVID-19 have magnified the already inherent isolation of imprisonment for incarcerated members and their families. Liberation Literacy’s outside groups meet regularly online to discuss how they can best support their incarcerated and formerly incarcerated members, and empower each other to fight against the prison industrial complex and build community care. Their community committees are how they organize and focus on initiatives. Liberation Literacy’s current committees include: Imprisoned Member Contact + Transitions, Career + Housing Resources, Restorative Care, and Family Support. +
