(Salem, OR) -- The State of Oregon has reached a settlement with inmates who died from COVID-19 and those who got sick and survived. Forty-nine million dollars will be paid with 33-million-dollars going to estates of 38 inmates who died and 16-million-dollars going to inmates who contracted COVID. They could receive up to 41-thousand-dollars each depending on the severity of their illness. Ten-million-dollars would be paid now, and 39-million-dollars would need to be approved by the Legislature next year. If that doesn't happen, the settlement is void and returns to litigation.
