About the Cottage Grove Municipal Jail
The City of Cottage Grove Oregon is the location for the Cottage Grove Municipal Jail. Located within the police department are the 8 double occupancy cells that make up the jail, along with two temporary holding cells. Most detainees in this facility are awaiting their arraignment and bail, though some may serve their sentence here if it is a short sentence. Often detainees are being held while they await transport to another facility. Each cell is monitored for both video and audio with the dispatcher on duty having access to the feeds at their station. Dispatchers are also responsible for setting up and instigating hourly checks to ensure the safety and security of the inmates, as well as complete a log that tracks these actions daily. Staff cooks and provides three meals each day which have been approved by a dietician to meet the nutritional needs of the inmates. They are also provided reading materials from the on site library, and due to the low demand on the spaces, most inmates will find themselves in a double occupancy cell alone, leaving them more space and privacy than they would if the building was at full capacity. Visitation is encouraged, and inmates are allowed to have visitors on Thursdays between the hours of 6:30 pm and 9 pm for 30 minutes. The timing of these visits depends on the availability of an officer to supervise them, and may be cancelled for any behavior concerns. Court dates occur on Thursdays with arraignments occurring at 8:30 am. The facility is located at 400 E Main St in Cottage Grove. To determine if someone is being held in custody at the location they can be reached via phone at (541)942-3346. The on staff dispatcher is also responsible for answering 911 calls and dispatching needed resources. A dispatcher is available around the clock throughout the year.
