Oregon’s crumbling prisons, especially the 156-year-old Oregon State Penitentiary, are in dire need of overhaul — with over $861 million in repairs piling up and outdated systems failing to track rehabilitation.

Portland’s City Council narrowly passed a $10 million ordinance to save 30 jobs—mostly in fire and police—after a tense vote where Mayor Keith Wilson broke a 10-2 tie for the first time in 18 months.

Progressives objected, fearing the funding source—partly from the new Office of Community-Based Police Accountability—could pressure the office to
