Has anyone herd of this place? I have a cousin who has been in prison for a while and vinelink´s website says that he has been tranferred to Grant County Jail. I could not find anything online except a website for Grant County, which did not have any info to a county jail. Could this be a transitional home or a holding place before they are deported? He was close to his release date and had an ICE detainer, I am not sure if that has anything to do with it!

Could this be a halfway house?

Not being in or from Oregon, I'm not really sure. Have you tried all the basic searches?

i have done lots of searches but there is nothing I have found yet!

WOW that is strange! I can usually find anything! Try calling PRCI Powder Creek in Baker City:

The reason I think this might be the correct link is this info from the Grant County link that references a jail called 'Greenhorn'
Greenhorn is a small city in the U.S. state (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._state) of Oregon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oregon). It straddles the Blue Mountain (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Mountains_%28Oregon%29) ridge, so that it is located in both Grant County (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grant_County%2C_Oregon) and Baker County (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baker_County%2C_Oregon). As most of the city is situated in Baker County, and the early residents considered Baker City (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baker_City%2C_Oregon) to be more convenient, for administrative purposes it is considered to be in Baker County.

That info is from wikpedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhorn,_Oregon

This is what I could find:

http://egov.oregon.gov/images/spacer.gifWhat Kind of Programs Exist in the Community?Community corrections uses a wide array of sanctions and services/interventions designed to reduce the likelihood of future criminal behavior while holding offenders accountable for their crimes and in meeting court or parole board-ordered conditions of supervision. Each county decides what array of sanctions and services best meet the needs of the offender population and the community. There is wide variability in available programs from county to county. Community corrections programs in your community may include:

Work Center - These programs house offenders in a structured setting, allowing them to leave the premises for work or other approved activities such as drug treatment. The program provides control of offenders who are required to pay victim restitution and other costs from wages they earn while working in the community.

Electronic Monitoring - Offender spends most of the time at home with a small transmitter attached to wrist or ankle. A very specific schedule is required and a computer alerts officers whenever the offender is not where he/she is supposed to be.

House Arrest - Offender spends most of the time at home without electronics - A specific schedule is required and verification occurs by telephone.

Day Reporting - Requires offender to report to a central location every day where (s)he files a written daily schedule showing how each hour of the day will be spent - at work, in treatment and so forth. The offender must obey a curfew, perform community work, and submit to random drug testing. Day reporting often includes programs such as alcohol/drug groups, employment readiness and education.

Intensive & Special Supervision - Offender may be seen up to five times per week, be on curfew, have frequent employment checks, submit to drug testing, and be subject to unannounced visits at home by PO.

Community Service - Offenders are assigned to work for government or private nonprofit agencies - some chop wood, clear trails, weed or maintain parks, paint buildings, collect roadside trash or other types of manual labor.

Community Work Crew - The same as community service, but offenders work in supervised crews.Don't know if this helps but at least it's a place to start.
