Prison support and reentry in Oregon

Help while in custody, preparation for coming home, and support for people with criminal records.

Jail and detention locations, contacts and leadership

Start with where you are today

Choose a starting point for yourself or someone you support. Find the responsible office, prepare questions and check the source instructions before applying or traveling.

Shared sources appear in all 36 county filters. Local reentry providers appear only in their recorded areas. This does not guarantee a placement, current intake or benefit eligibility. The county where you need support may differ from your prison location or supervising county.

DOC links describe Oregon state prisons. County jails, federal facilities and youth custody have separate procedures. Ask the responsible facility or your attorney about the applicable route.

Planning ahead and specialized reentry support

Use release-planning guides to identify practical needs and questions for your release planner. Ask SSA about prerelease arrangements and benefit rules. Veterans can ask ODVA or VA about incarceration-related benefit changes and reentry outreach.

Community reentry providers and housing leads

These providers describe reentry support in specific locations. Ask about their service area, intake, referral requirements and current openings before traveling. For other counties, use the statewide planning, benefits and housing sources alongside local civil legal-aid referrals.

    No provider in this group is currently recorded for Crook County. Use the shared planning, housing and benefits sources, and confirm local referrals directly.

    Release papers and supervision

    Keep your release papers together. If you have supervision, contact your assigned officer about reporting, your address, treatment and travel conditions.

    A place to stay

    Start with housing assistance and local referrals. Ask about current openings, screening policies and documents needed. Confirm any supervision-related residence restrictions with your officer.

    Health coverage, medication and care

    Contact OHP about applying or resuming coverage. Ask your provider or care coordinator about medication continuity, a follow-up appointment and mental health or addiction treatment.

    Identification and birth records

    Check which documents you already have before paying for replacements. DMV and vital records have different identity requirements. Use the issuing state's process if you were born outside Oregon.

    Food and a working phone

    Ask ODHS about food-benefit eligibility and application help. Check Lifeline requirements for phone or internet assistance so employers, care teams and support services can reach you.

    Work and training

    Contact a WorkSource center about appointments, resumes, training and available reentry support. STEP and OCE services have participation limits. Read the hiring-discrimination source if criminal-history questions are a concern.
