In February 2008 we’re reopening Oak Creek Youth Correctional Facility as our all-female gender-specific youth correctional facility. Female offenders from Hillcrest Youth Correctional Facility in Salem will be transitioned to Oak Creek in Albany.

The facility has 75 beds in three pods, all of which will re-open for the first time since OYA closed this location in 2002. The Linn-Benton Detention Center occupies the remaining pod.

The re-opening of the Oak Creek YCF provides OYA and the juvenile justice system an opportunity to engage in services specific to our young women in Oregon. There are some key elements that have been identified in working with a gender-specific population that the Oregon Youth Authority, working with national experts, will utilize in the development of treatment curriculum and service delivery.

Project planning has already begun with renovations to the facility to begin this fall. A project manager will lead several workgroups responsible to identify and develop planning for transition of all aspects of the young women, staff, and the service delivery model. Approximately 70 people will work at Oak Creek, some of them will likely transfer from other facilities. More information will follow for those staff who have an interest in potential transfer options.
