Northern Oregon Regional Corrections Juvenile Detention Overview
Northern Oregon Regional Corrections Juvenile Detention is the juvenile detention and youth-services facility listed by NORCOR for the regional corrections complex in The Dalles. It serves Gilliam County youth along with youth from the partner-county structure, but it is not the adult inmate population facility. The adult NORCOR roster, adult mail vendor rules, adult bail workflow, and adult commissary channels should not be treated as public juvenile custody tools.
The facility is included in the Gilliam County facility map because NORCOR's official site lists it as a separate juvenile detention building connected to the same regional corrections system. The juvenile address is 211 Webber Street, The Dalles, OR 97058. The official juvenile phone is 541-298-1447, fax is 541-298-1258, and email is juvenile@norcor.co.wasco.or.us. The research did not locate an official public capacity figure, public daily youth count, or public juvenile roster.
The official NORCOR juvenile page lists a Juvenile Directors Oversight Committee and identifies Gilliam County's contact as Amy Nation, with phone 541-351-9508 and email amy.nation@co.gilliam.or.us. That local contact is different from the adult jail's sheriff oversight committee. The difference is important: adult Gilliam custody usually routes through the Northern Oregon Regional Corrections Adult Facility, while juvenile detention questions are more likely to involve the juvenile department, juvenile court, counsel, family notification, or the facility's youth-services staff.
The juvenile facility contact block is shown on NORCOR's official Juvenile Detention page.
That source supports the separate youth-facility address and phone number, but it does not publish a public youth roster or a capacity number.
Northern Oregon Regional Corrections Juvenile Detention Capacity and Population
No official juvenile detention capacity or public current youth population count was located in the NORCOR sources reviewed for this project. This page therefore does not publish a juvenile bed count, average daily population, youth count, booking total, demographic table, or county-specific youth population estimate. Those figures should not be inferred from the adult roster or from the adult NORCOR count.
The only dated facility count in the research is for the adult roster: 62 adults in custody on 2026-06-25 at 15:30. That adult count belongs to the NORCOR Adults in Custody roster and is a regional adult number across partner counties and holds. It is included here only to make the distinction clear. It is not a juvenile detention count, not a Gilliam-only number, and not a measure of youth detention use.
How to Route a Youth Detention Question
No public juvenile roster was located for Northern Oregon Regional Corrections Juvenile Detention. A youth's detention status should not be searched through the NORCOR Adults in Custody roster, because that roster is for current adults in the regional adult jail. Juvenile records are handled differently from adult custody records and are often restricted by state law, court rules, or case-specific confidentiality. The practical path is to start with the juvenile facility, the Gilliam County juvenile contact, the juvenile court process, or counsel rather than using an adult inmate lookup table.
- Confirm that the question involves a youth detention matter, not an adult Gilliam County jail case.
- Use the NORCOR Juvenile Detention contact channel for facility questions: 541-298-1447 or juvenile@norcor.co.wasco.or.us.
- For Gilliam County juvenile department routing, use the listed Gilliam contact, Amy Nation, at 541-351-9508 or amy.nation@co.gilliam.or.us.
- For court records or legal status, work through the juvenile court process, the attorney of record, or the agency authorized to discuss the youth's case.
- If the person is legally an adult or appears on the adult jail roster, switch to the adult NORCOR facility page and adult roster instructions.
This distinction protects the reader from two common mistakes: assuming that all NORCOR custody is adult custody, and assuming that juvenile detention records are open in the same way as a current adult jail roster. The research supports the facility's contact information and youth-services role, but it does not support publishing a searchable juvenile custody table.
Northern Oregon Regional Corrections Juvenile Detention Address and Contact
Use the juvenile facility contact information for youth detention and facility questions. Use Gilliam County's juvenile contact when the issue is local routing, county youth services, or Gilliam County juvenile-department coordination. The adult NORCOR office at 201 Webber Street is nearby, but adult jail staff, the adult roster, and adult bail channels are not substitutes for youth detention records.

Visiting or Contacting a Youth at Northern Oregon Regional Corrections Juvenile Detention
The research did not capture a public juvenile visitation schedule comparable to the adult TELMATE/ViaPath video-visitation schedule. Because this is a youth detention facility, visitation and contact rules should be confirmed directly with the juvenile facility or through the authorized juvenile case channel. Do not apply adult lobby-video hours, adult free-minute rules, adult in-person eligibility after 30 days, adult clergy windows, or adult attorney schedules to youth detention unless the juvenile facility confirms that a specific rule applies.
The official juvenile page links to juvenile detention materials, including facility information and youth-program related pages. Families should expect identity checks, case-specific limits, and staff approval before visits or communications. Attorneys and agencies should use the proper juvenile facility or court channels and should not rely on a public adult-custody profile to verify access. When in doubt, call before traveling to The Dalles.
| Question | Best Channel | Important Distinction |
|---|---|---|
| General youth facility contact | NORCOR Juvenile Detention, 541-298-1447 | Separate youth facility at 211 Webber Street. |
| Gilliam County juvenile routing | Amy Nation, 541-351-9508 | Listed as Gilliam County's juvenile contact on NORCOR's juvenile page. |
| Adult visitation | NORCOR Adult Corrections | Use only for adults in custody, not youth detention. |
| Legal access | Attorney, juvenile court, or authorized agency | Juvenile cases may have confidentiality limits. |
| Travel planning | Call the juvenile facility before leaving | No public juvenile visiting schedule was captured in the research. |
Mail, Phone, Money, and Adult-Service Distinctions
The adult NORCOR research contains detailed adult-service rules for TextBehind mail, ViaPath/GettingOut accounts, JailATM care packs, OutsideInside hot meals, adult commissary, adult property release, and bail payment restrictions. Those details are not repeated here as juvenile instructions because the research does not say they apply to Northern Oregon Regional Corrections Juvenile Detention. The adult rules are useful mainly as a distinction: they belong to the adult jail unless juvenile staff confirms otherwise.
For youth detention, use the juvenile facility contact before sending mail, money, property, publications, or electronic communications. Juvenile facilities often limit who may communicate with a youth and how communications are handled. The research supports the juvenile facility's address, phone, fax, email, youth-services role, Gilliam County juvenile contact, and official website, but it does not support public instructions for TextBehind youth mail, GettingOut youth visits, JailATM youth care packs, OutsideInside youth meals, or public juvenile bail posting.
| Adult Service | How to Treat It for Juvenile Detention |
|---|---|
| TextBehind personal mail | Documented for NORCOR adults in custody; do not assume it is a juvenile mail route. |
| ViaPath / GettingOut deposits and visits | Documented for adult services; confirm directly before using for a youth matter. |
| JailATM care packs | Adult care-pack source in the research; no juvenile care-pack rule was located. |
| OutsideInside meals | Adult meal-order source in the research; no juvenile youth-meal ordering rule was located. |
| Bail rules | Adult NORCOR bail restrictions do not create a public juvenile release procedure. |
Juvenile Records and Public Requests
Juvenile records should be treated as a separate records category from adult jail records. The research states that no public juvenile roster was located and that youth-record questions should route through the juvenile department or court rather than the adult roster. Public-records request procedures may still matter for administrative records, but a requester should not assume that a youth's detention status, case details, or identifying information is available to the public.
For NORCOR-held administrative information, start with the juvenile facility contact or NORCOR Administration and ask which process applies. For Gilliam County records, the county's public-records page says requests must be written on the county form and sent to the office that holds the record. Criminal public-record channels listed in the research include Gilliam County Justice Court, the District Attorney, and the Sheriff's Office, but juvenile matters may be subject to different confidentiality rules and may need juvenile-court routing.
Oregon public-records law generally requires public bodies to respond without unreasonable delay, but it also allows or requires withholding records when another law protects them. For juvenile matters, that caveat is central. A family member, attorney, victim-services contact, or agency representative may have access paths that are not available to a general public requester.
Youth Intake and Facility Role
The research does not provide a step-by-step juvenile intake workflow for NORCOR Juvenile Detention, and this page does not invent one. What the research does establish is the facility's role as a separate youth detention and youth-services location in the NORCOR complex. Youth placed through Gilliam County or partner counties should be understood through juvenile justice channels, not through the adult booking table.
Adult NORCOR profiles may show file number, booking number, booking date, demographics, bail, and charge details. Those adult profile fields do not imply that similar juvenile detail pages are public. If a youth's placement, release, school-related services, family contact, or program status is at issue, use the juvenile facility, the Gilliam County juvenile contact, counsel, or the juvenile court process to identify the correct next step.
About Northern Oregon Regional Corrections Juvenile Detention
NORCOR Juvenile Detention exists alongside the adult regional jail but serves a different population and a different legal process. For Gilliam County, that means a regional corrections complex can have two very different public-facing paths: adult custody through the NORCOR Adults in Custody roster, and youth detention through juvenile facility and juvenile-department channels. The adult pathway is more visible because the adult roster is public and current. The juvenile pathway is more restricted because youth records and youth detention information are not generally published in the same format.
The facility-map distinction also helps families avoid misdirected calls. An adult held after a Gilliam County arrest may appear at the adult facility page, the adult custody roster, and adult service pages for visitation, mail, money, and bail. A youth matter should begin with NORCOR Juvenile Detention or the Gilliam juvenile contact listed by NORCOR. For state-prison questions, use Oregon VISOR or Oregon DOC, not either NORCOR facility page. For federal sentenced custody, use BOP. For immigration detention, use ICE's locator. Those external systems are separate from juvenile detention.
The adult sibling facility is Northern Oregon Regional Corrections Adult Facility. Use that page only when the person is an adult or when the question is about the public adult jail roster.
Note: Call the juvenile facility or authorized case contact before traveling, sending property, or relying on any youth detention information.
