Oak Creek Youth Correctional Facility is a state youth correctional facility in Albany, Linn County, Oregon, operated by the Oregon Youth Authority. It serves youth and young adults committed to OYA custody through the juvenile or criminal justice system, including those serving court-ordered placements, rather than a general county jail for adult pretrial detainees.

Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Oak Creek Youth Correctional Facility
Public inmate rosters usually list a person’s name, booking or admission date, charges or case information, and current custody status. Because this is a youth correctional facility, some custody information may be confidential or limited under Oregon law, and a public roster may not show the same details as an adult county jail. New records often take several hours to process after admission or booking, so information may not appear immediately. Use the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster or contact the facility or Oregon Youth Authority for guidance if the person does not appear.
FAQs
How do I visit an inmate at Oak Creek Youth Correctional Facility?
Visits are usually scheduled in advance and may require approval before you can enter the facility. Contact the facility or check its official visitation rules for hours, visitor approval steps, and any limits on age or relationship.
What do I need to bring when visiting Oak Creek Youth Correctional Facility?
Bring a valid government-issued photo ID and any required visitation approval confirmation. Minors usually must be accompanied by an approved adult, and all visitors should follow dress code and security screening rules.
How do I make phone or video calls with an inmate?
Phone and video contact is typically managed through approved facility systems and may require the inmate to add you to an approved contact list. Ask the facility which provider is used, how accounts are funded, and whether video visits are available.
How do I send mail to an inmate?
Use the inmate’s full legal name and the facility’s approved mailing address. Mail is generally screened for safety, and items such as cash, prohibited materials, or unapproved packages may be rejected.
How does the commissary work?
Commissary access, if available, lets an inmate buy approved personal items using funds in their account. Contact the facility for accepted deposit methods, spending limits, and rules for youth in custody.
How is bail set and how do I post bond at Oak Creek Youth Correctional Facility?
This facility primarily holds youth and young adults committed to Oregon Youth Authority custody, so bail or bond may not apply in the same way as an adult county jail. If a court has set release conditions, contact the court clerk, defense attorney, or appropriate county agency for instructions.
What happens during the intake process at Oak Creek Youth Correctional Facility and when will the inmate appear in the system?
Intake usually includes identity verification, health and safety screening, property inventory, classification, and assignment to housing or programs. Records may take several hours to process, and youth custody information may be limited or unavailable to the public.
