Administration
The Oregon Department of Corrections is responsible for the management and administration of Oregon's state prisons and other functions related to state programs for adult corrections.
Community Corrections
Through intergovernmental agreements with the counties, the
Community Corrections Unit oversees, advocates for, and works in partnership with all the community corrections offices throughout the state. Local county community corrections offices provide supervision, services, and sanctions to felony offenders in their communities. These offenders have been sentenced to probation by a court, or are on parole and/or post-prison supervision after being released from state prison. They may also have been sentenced to prison for 12 months or less and are serving that time locally.
Correctional Programs
The
Correctional Programs Unit develops and delivers effective outcome-based interventions to inmates in Oregon's prisons. Treatment, education, job skills and work experience are all proven to help inmates transition successfully to the community upon release, reducing the likelihood that they will subsequently return to prison.
General Services Division
The
General Services Division supports much of the day-to-day business of the Oregon Department of Corrections. Facilities Services, Central Distribution (including canteen food purchasing, radio, and warehouse operations),
Information Services and Fiscal Services (including
contracts , purchasing, accounting, and central trust) fall under General Services.

recruitment, affirmative action,
employee development and training,
employee safety and risk management, and organization and leadership development. It also provides consultation and assistance in administering the department's classification, compensation,
human resources policies, and labor contracts. To meet the department's mission and fulfill the objectives of the Oregon Accountability Model, the division develops and implements a comprehensive full-service human resources program that enables the department to effectively recruit, develop, and retain a highly qualified and rapidly growing workforce of several thousand employees, volunteers, and contractors.
Information Services

Inspections Unit provides an oversight function on behalf of the
director and deputy director of the Department of Corrections. The office is responsible for investigations administration, rules coordination and hearings administration.

Oregon Accountability Model. The unit comprises:
- Capacity and Resources
- Intake Center
- Special Needs Populations
- Internal & External Inmate Classification
Operations
Oregon's adult prisons are centrally administered by the assistant director of
Operations. Oregon's 14
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, mental health services, inmate transportation, security threat group (gang) management, emergency preparedness, and most
