About Prison

The local jail facility for Umatilla County, Oregon, is the Umatilla County Correctional Facility, which is located in Pendleton.  This facility has 252 beds, which allows it enough space to protect the public while still providing an environment that protects the safety and health of both inmates and staff. The average annual intake for the facility is 4,383 inmates, though many of these inmates only have very short stays in the facility. 

As a local jail facility, the Umatilla County Correctional Facility serves multiple functions.  It is the primary initial holding facility for the Umatilla County Sheriff’s Office, as well as many other local law enforcement agencies.  It functions as a pre-trial detention facility for inmates who are being held for trial and who have not had bail set or have been unable to make bail.  It may hold inmates who have had their trials and are awaiting sentencing.  It may hold inmates who have been sentenced and are awaiting transfer to another facility for their punishment.  It may hold inmates who are usually at other facilities, but are in Umatilla County Correctional Facility in order to appear in court or as part of a transfer process to other correctional facilities.  Finally, it may hold inmates who have been scheduled to serve their sentences in a local jail facility.

Staff at the Umatilla County Correctional Facility are certified through the state of Oregon.  They must have 40 hours of training each year to ensure that they are current with law enforcement standards.  The Umatilla County Correctional Facility has 32 full-time staff, working 12-hour shifts, along with an additional 19 support staff.

The jail has a number of different programs, which are aimed at improving living conditions within the jail as well as reducing recidivism rates upon release.  These programs include In-Patient Alcohol and Drug Treatment, Anger Management Programs, religious service, and GED programming.

Community outreach is another goal of the Umatilla County Correctional Facility.  As a result, the facility has partnered with area schools for two different types of programs, which involve tours of the facility for high school students.  The first program is aimed at youthful offenders who have Minor in Possession (MIP) convictions; they are invited to come to the jail and speak with the Alcohol and Drug class. The goal is to allow inmates who have experienced negative repercussions because of alcohol or drug usage to interact with students and hopefully help them avoid making the same choices.  The other program is a Leadership Program, which focuses on students with a desire to pursue careers in law enforcement or criminal justice.  This tour allows students to see how the jail functions.

The Umatilla County Correctional Facility’s official mail policy is that it will ensure that inmates confined to the facility can send and receive mail.  The jail will balance the inmates’ rights to send and receive mail with the safety and security needs of the facility.  This can mean different things under different circumstances.  Keeping in mind that for personal, non-legal communications, inmates do not enjoy a right to privacy, the jail will search incoming and outgoing mail for contraband and may monitor the contents of such mail.

There are some materials and contents that are prohibited by the jail facility.  These include, but may not be limited to, illegal items like drugs and weapons, as well as items that would be legal outside of a jail facility, but cannot be mailed into a jail facility.  Examples of such items include things like food, drinks, tobacco, over-the-counter medications, prescription medications, sexually explicit material, nudity, violent material, pornographic material, gang signs, racist material, bigoted material, gang-related material, and material that could be used to help plan a jail break.

Inmates are permitted to receive pictures, but there may be limits on the number and type of photos that an inmate can receive.  Inmates usually cannot have photos that are greater than 4x6 inches in size.  Inmates cannot receive Polaroid or Polaroid-type photographs.

Inmates can receive published materials at the jail, as long as those published materials otherwise comply with rules about inmate mail.  In addition, these published materials must be sent either by the publisher or an authorized retailer.  The materials must be new and they must be softcover.  No hardcover or spiral bindings are permitted.

Visitation

The Umatilla County Correctional Facility encourages friends and family to visit inmates as a way to help maintain healthy and positive relationships.  It considers visitation to be a critical part of the facility’s management and inmate rehabilitation, but is also aware the visitation poses one of the biggest opportunities to introduce danger to both the jail environment and the outside community.

Visitation days are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.  There is no visitation on holidays.  You may schedule visits up to one week in advance.  You have to schedule visits with the Jail Reception office during regular business hours.  Those regular business hours are Monday through Friday, from 7:30am to 11:30am and 12:30pm to 4:30pm.  The office is closed from 11:30am to 12:30pm for lunch.  You can call Jail Reception at 541-966-3632 to schedule a visit.

Visitors must be approved by the jail before they will be permitted to visit.  Reasons that the jail might deny a visitor’s application would be if the visitor previously introduced contraband into a correctional facility, there is evidence that the visitor would introduce contraband, the visitor has previously disrupted the facility during visitation, and the visitor is a victim of the crime for which the inmate is incarcerated.

Conclusion

The Umatilla County Correctional Facility is a local jail facility in Pendleton, Oregon.  Its primary function is the pre-trial detention of inmates who have been arrested in Umatilla County, whether by the Umatilla County Sheriff’s Office or other local law enforcement agencies.  In addition, it has set its goal at increasing inmate safety and establishing the type of jail programming that not only helps ensure a safer jail and a safer community, but also helps decrease recidivism rates once an inmate is released from jail.  These jail programs are augmented by the jail’s policies, which are designed to help facilitate inmates maintaining relationships with friends and family on the outside of the jail facility.  This is done through the jail’s visitation programs, as well as jail calling programs, inmate access to tablets for communications, and a liberal jail mail policy.

The work that the staff at the Umatilla County Jail has done to improve conditions for inmates and for workers has shown results in the last several years, and these results have gained statewide recognition. Umatilla County Jail is proud of its staff, and Jail Administrator Captain Stewart Harp was named Jail Commander of the year by the Oregon State Jail Command Council at a meeting of the Oregon State Sheriff’s Association (OSSA) Annual Conference.  One of the reasons that Captain Harp was recognized was because of his ability to overcome some of the challenges that are inherent in hiring and retaining qualified jail employees.  The result is that the jail is staffed with Certified Corrections Officers, as opposed to a mix of certified and non-certified officers.  This is due to the positive working environment that Captain Harp helped shape, which not only impacts employees, but also has a positive impact on inmates.
