Mission Statement
The mission of the Oregon Department of Corrections is to promote public safety by holding offenders accountable for their actions and reducing the risk of future criminal behavior.
Organization
Annual Performance Measures
Oregon's adult prisons 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, inmate classification and transfer, inmate transportation, security threat group (gang) management, emergency preparedness, and most inmate work crew activities.
