This facility houses up to 144 inmates, or up to 172 if necessary, with use of overflow capacity. It is located in Salem, Oregon, and is also used by the Oregon Department of Corrections for not only those on work release, but also for those who violated probation.
Work Release is a program that allows approved inmates to maintain a job outside of the jail. They may attend work during the day and return to the facility after their work day. It is a minimum security environment and is not suitable for those who are serving long sentences for violent offences. Inmates may remain here as they transition from their sentence to their upcoming release date and serve their sentence while still using employable skills that will help improve their chance of success after they are released.
Visits to this facility by friend and family are available on Saturday and Sunday only.
These hours allow inmates to have visitors outside of their work hours, and to maintain contact with friends and family during their incarceration. Phone calls are outgoing only, and mail can both be sent and received from the facility via the US Postal Service provided it follows all the guidelines and contains no contraband. Restrictions on the mail that can be received allow the staff to maintain safety for all inmates and prevent discussions of escape attempts or other illegal activities.
All the details on inmate services and privileges can be found below.
Once arrested, the person is taken to Marion County Transition Center for booking, a process that confirms identity, assesses charges, and determines if they will be released on their own recognizance, posted for bail, or held until court.
Staying silent is key during this process, as anything spoken can be used as evidence in court. It’s best to wait for legal counsel before responding to questions.
Steps involved in booking at Marion County Transition Center include:
Booking can range from an hour to 48 hours depending on the circumstances. To check on an offender’s bond amount, contact Marion County Transition Center at 503-581-1183.

3. Bail or bond can be posted for release; for more information, contact 503-581-1183.
