Woodburn, OR MacLaren Youth Correctional Facility View
MacLaren Youth Correctional Facility is a close-custody youth correctional facility in Woodburn, Marion County, Oregon. It is operated by the Oregon Youth Authority, not the Marion County jail system. The facility houses youth and young adults committed to state youth custody by juvenile courts or, in some cases, transferred from adult court, and generally does not serve as a local booking jail for routine pretrial detainees. Its role is to provide secure custody, education, treatment, and reentry services for youth offenders within Oregon’s juvenile justice system.
Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at MacLaren Youth Correctional Facility
To look for someone, use the official inmate search link on this page for the facility’s roster or locator, if available. Public rosters usually list a person’s name, booking or admission date, charges or committing offense, and custody status, but youth correctional records may be limited because juvenile information is often confidential in Oregon. New records do not always appear right after arrival; processing, identity checks, and data entry can take several hours. If the person is not listed, check again later or contact the facility or the Oregon Youth Authority for allowed release of information. For recent arrests in Marion County, the person may be listed with a county jail or juvenile detention center before any transfer.
