The Gilliam County Inmate Population
Gilliam County uses Northern Oregon Regional Corrections, known as NORCOR, for adult jail custody. That makes the Gilliam County inmate population different from a county with a jail in the county seat. Adults arrested in Gilliam County may be taken to the NORCOR Adult Facility in The Dalles, where they appear on a regional roster used by Gilliam, Hood River, Sherman, and Wasco counties. The Gilliam County Sheriff's Office remains the local law-enforcement starting point, but the jail count and booking record are maintained by the regional facility.
This split matters when reading the Gilliam County inmate population. A current NORCOR count is a facility count, not a Gilliam-only jail population. The roster may include probation sanctions, post-prison supervision holds, out-of-county holds, bench warrants, local charges, and federal U.S. Marshals holds. A person tied to Gilliam County may need confirmation from NORCOR, the Sheriff's Office, Gilliam County Circuit Court, or Justice Court because the public roster fields inspected during research did not show county of arrest.
Gilliam County Inmate Population Statistics
The best official live number located for the Gilliam County inmate population is the NORCOR regional roster count. On June 25, 2026, at 15:30, the NORCOR Adults in Custody roster reported 62 adults in custody. That count is useful for the facility's current load, but it should not be converted into a Gilliam County incarceration rate because the roster combines partner counties and holds for other agencies.
| Measure | Figure | Source and date |
|---|---|---|
| NORCOR current adult roster count | 62 adults | NORCOR roster, 2026-06-25 15:30 |
| NORCOR adult facility capacity | Not published in located official sources | NORCOR pages reviewed 2026-06-25 |
| Gilliam-only jail average daily population | Not located | Regional roster does not separate county totals |
| Oregon DOC statewide prison system | About 12,000 adults in custody across 12 prisons | Oregon DOC About, accessed 2026-06-25 |
Gilliam County Jail Population Trends
The local trend data is thin because Gilliam County's adult custody runs through a regional jail. The research found two official roster observations in the same week. The count moved from 63 to 62, which is a normal short-term roster change, not proof of a long trend. For a past Gilliam County inmate population analysis, the practical route is a public-records request to NORCOR for jail-generated records and to the county for sheriff or court records.
| Date and time | NORCOR roster count | How to read it |
|---|---|---|
| 2026-06-22 13:00 | 63 | Regional adult count from roster capture |
| 2026-06-25 15:30 | 62 | Regional adult count from direct roster inspection |
Gilliam County Inmate Record Makeup
The public NORCOR roster did not publish a complete demographic breakdown for the Gilliam County inmate population. The main table showed name, booking date, charge summary, bail, and scheduled release. The inspected profile showed age, sex, height, weight, hair, and eyes. It did not show race, date of birth, arresting agency, county of case, housing unit, pod, judge, warrant number, or a full pretrial-versus-sentenced breakdown.
The charge and hold text still helps explain who may be counted. The roster inspected during research included probation violations, post-prison supervision sanctions, parole violations, bench warrants, local charges, out-of-county holds, and a federal hold. Those categories can overlap. A person may be physically held in the regional jail while the court, probation office, U.S. Marshals Service, or another county has the main custody interest.
- Pretrial
- Held before final case outcome.
- Detainer
- A hold or request from another authority.
- Post-prison supervision
- Oregon supervision after a state prison term.
- Scheduled release
- A future release date shown only when public and entered.
Laws Governing Gilliam County Jail Records
Oregon law shapes the public side of the Gilliam County inmate population. The Oregon Public Records Law in ORS Chapter 192 gives the basic request framework for nonexempt public records held by Oregon public bodies. Gilliam County's own public-records page says requests must be written on the county form and sent to the office that holds the record. NORCOR uses its own public-records request form for jail records generated at the regional facility.
Key Oregon law points:
ORS 192.311 to 192.478 sets Oregon's public-records request system for public bodies.
ORS 169.076 sets minimum standards for local correctional facilities.
ORS 146.090 requires investigation of deaths that occur in jail, prison, or police custody.
ORS 133.870 limits booking-photo release, so Oregon mugshots should not be treated as automatically public.
Gilliam County and Oregon DOC
No Oregon Department of Corrections prison is located in Gilliam County. When a Gilliam County defendant is sentenced to more than 12 months in state prison, the custody path changes from the regional jail roster to Oregon DOC systems. The Oregon VISOR portal searches people in custody or under supervision, and the Oregon Offender Search is another public DOC lookup. A person may disappear from NORCOR after transfer and later show in a DOC search.
How to Search Gilliam County Inmates
The fastest current custody search starts with the NORCOR roster. It is a live table, not a form with a county filter. Use the browser's find function to scan the name column, then open the row for the profile. The roster is free and does not require a login. If the person was released, transferred, sentenced to prison, or booked under another agency hold, the search path may move to court records, Oregon DOC, BOP, ICE, or a written records request.
- Open the NORCOR Adults in Custody roster and note the date, time, and count.
- Scan by last name or use browser find because the roster has no public search box.
- Review booking date, charges, bail, and scheduled release if shown.
- Click the row to open the adult-in-custody profile.
- For sentenced state prison custody, search VISOR or Oregon DOC instead.
Current Gilliam County Roster Lookup
The NORCOR roster table is the current public jail roster for Gilliam County adult custody, but it serves four counties. The public table inspected during research showed no county filter, no name-search field, and no arresting-agency field. The individual profile can add booking number, file number, demographics, total bond, total bail, and charge rows. For a Gilliam-specific case, confirm the agency or court through NORCOR, the Sheriff's Office, Circuit Court, Justice Court, or the District Attorney.
| Field label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Date and time | Display stamp | N/A | Shows when the roster was generated. |
| Inmate count | Display count | N/A | Regional NORCOR count, not Gilliam-only. |
| Name | Clickable table column | N/A | Use browser find to scan names. |
| Booking date | Table column | N/A | Shown in month/day/year format. |
| Charges | Table column | N/A | Summary charge or hold text. |
| Bail | Table column | N/A | May show an amount; Telmate fees may apply. |

Past Gilliam County Inmate Records
Released people may fall off the current NORCOR roster, and no official public retention period was located. For historical Gilliam County inmate records, identify which office made or holds the record. NORCOR handles jail-generated custody and booking records. Gilliam County may hold sheriff reports, Justice Court files, District Attorney records, or Circuit Court records. The county public-records process accepts written requests in person, by mail, fax, or email, but the request must go to the correct custodian.
What Gilliam County Inmate Records Show
A NORCOR adult-in-custody profile can show more detail than the roster row. The inspected sample profile displayed a no-photo placeholder, inmate name, offense, file number, arrest date, booking number, booking date, scheduled release date, age, sex, height, weight, hair, eyes, total bond, total bail, and charge information. It did not show a housing unit or court date in the public fields inspected.
| Field | What it shows |
|---|---|
| File number | NORCOR internal custody identifier. |
| Booking number | Record number for a specific booking event. |
| Arrest and booking dates | When custody began and when NORCOR entered the booking. |
| Total bond or bail | Amounts if the public field is populated. |
| Charge information | Offense rows and disposition fields, which may be blank. |
Gilliam County Jail vs State Prison
County jail, state prison, federal custody, and immigration custody are separate systems. A Gilliam County arrest can start at NORCOR, move into court records, and later transfer to Oregon DOC if the sentence is a state prison term. Federal sentenced inmates are searched through the BOP inmate locator. Immigration custody is searched through the ICE Online Detainee Locator System. The NORCOR roster may show a federal hold, but that does not mean BOP has a sentenced inmate record.
| Custody type | Where to look | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Regional jail | NORCOR roster | Current adults in regional jail custody. |
| State prison or supervision | VISOR or Oregon Offender Search | Sentenced prison custody and supervision. |
| Federal sentenced custody | BOP locator | BOP custody and release records since 1982. |
| Immigration detention | ICE locator | Current ICE custody and some recent CBP custody. |
Gilliam County Detention Facilities
Gilliam County's facility map has two NORCOR entries. The adult facility is the primary custody location for adult inmate lookup. The juvenile facility is separate and should not be read as an adult jail roster source. Both are in The Dalles, which is why Condon, Arlington, and other Gilliam County users often deal with records in one county and jail custody in another location.
- Northern Oregon Regional Corrections Adult Facility holds current adults in custody for Gilliam County and regional partners.
- Northern Oregon Regional Corrections Juvenile Detention serves youth placements and is not the adult inmate roster.
Gilliam County Inmate Population FAQ
Is the NORCOR count the Gilliam County inmate population? It is the best current jail count found in official sources, but it is regional. NORCOR serves Gilliam, Hood River, Sherman, and Wasco counties, so the posted count should not be treated as a Gilliam-only number.
How do I search the Gilliam County inmate population? Start with the NORCOR Adults in Custody roster, scan the name list, and open the profile. If the person is sentenced to state prison, use VISOR or Oregon DOC instead.
What if a recent arrest is missing? Call NORCOR or the Gilliam County Sheriff's Office. Booking may not be complete, the person may have been released, or another agency may hold the record.
Are booking photos always public? No. Oregon has a specific booking-photo release law, and the inspected NORCOR profile used a no-photo placeholder.
