I believe OSCI and Santiam AIC's have been moved to the Pen. I think Mill Creek AIC's have also been moved to the Pen. They don't have room at the Pen for all of the AIC's moved there. I don't know what they'll do if the fires encroach on the Pen, especially since that's where death row is and there is no other Maximum facility capable of handling the death row inmates.
Some of the OSCI inmates were moved back to OSCI from the Pen. I doubt they can move them anywhere where the air isn't horrible, but at least at OSCI, they have enough food.
I was told that the Pen was not prepared for an influx of 2,000 more inmates, there was near rioting and the food ran out. Not sure how many moved back to OSCI, but some did.
DOC is obviously not being transparent with what they're doing.
