General Information:

Oregon’s adult correctional institutions are centrally administered by the assistant director of Institutions. Oregon’s prisons are safe, civil and productive so inmates can pursue the goals specified in their corrections plans. Additionally, high-caliber staff help shape positive behavior. To hold inmates accountable for their actions, the division’s responsibilities encompass prison management, health services (http://www.oregon.gov/DOC/OPS/HESVC/index.shtml) , inmate transportation, security threat group (http://www.oregon.gov/DOC/OPS/PRISON/sec_threat_groups.shtml) (gang) management, emergency preparedness, and most inmate work activities (http://www.oregon.gov/DOC/OPS/PRISON/inmate_work_activities.shtml).

Could someone please update the info in this post?

Now is not a good time to update this list. The reason being is that there are a lot of changes going on right now within DOC and a lot of people switching around. I believe this will continue until they see what changes will be coming into place after voting this year. DOC and the rest of us are real nervous about the Mannix Measure passing. I would just call DOC or look up DOC website and use what they have for now, but keep in mind it is probably not correct.

Thank you Dawn. Could you please make a point of updating the contact information once the all the changes have settled down? I would really appreciate it!!
