MADRAS, Ore. - The Oregon Department of Corrections is proceeding with plans to move nearly 800 inmates from the overcrowded minimum-security prison at the Deer Ridge Correctional Institution east of Madras and into the adjacent, never-opened medium-security building, which becomes a new minimum-security facility at a cost of $2.5 million. The move to the larger building, proposed last fall, will occur “sometime between now and March 1," agency spokeswoman Elizabeth Craig confirmed to NewsChannel 21 in an email late Sunday. It is part of efforts by the agency to deal with an unexpected rise in future prison population projections that arose last year.

Also included are judges who received presidential recess appointments to the above-named courts but were not confirmed by the Senate to serve during good behavior. The Best Waco Attorney Lawyer is experienced in patent litigation and starting to become the go-to district for intellectual property cases. The appointment of Waco’s new federal judge, a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that narrows the venue for patent cases and Waco’s home in the federal Western District of Texas have combined into a perfect storm that could drastically alter Waco’s legal landscape.
