PRISONER LETTERS
Powder River
Correctional Facility serves as a transition and re-entry facility for the
Department. Program-eligible inmates preparing for transition from prison to
community are sent to the facility for alcohol and drug treatment. The
facility’s New Directions Alternative Incarceration Addictions Program (AIP)
is a 178-bed treatment program for qualifying inmates. Inmates in this program
are assigned to a highly regimented program which includes a daily routine of
14-16 hours of treatment, education, and transition classes in conjunction
with institution and/or community-based work.
ORS
421.502 to 421.512 Alternative Incarceration Addictions Program
Oregon
Administrative Rule 291-062-0100
Powder River
is located in rural
Baker
City
in
Eastern Oregon
. The facility, a 278 bed minimum-security institution was opened in
1989 and serves the Department’s mission by focusing its correctional
program efforts on inmates who have alcohol and drug treatment needs.
Inmates in this program provide a variety of work related services to the
communities in Baker and surrounding counties. One of the primary reasons for
this work is to reduce the costs of government, particularly to rural
governments, who could not successfully complete needed work projects by other
means. Examples of value-added work accomplished by inmate work crews
include:
-
Maintenance of a
local church in exchange for use of their facility for Alcoholics
Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous meetings by inmates who are in the
transition phase of their treatment program.
-
Weekly building
and grounds maintenance of the Baker County Library in exchange for the
library’s weekly bookmobile services to the facility for inmates.
-
Seasonal gleaning
of field crops which supports local food banks.
-
The “Warm
Hearts, Warm Homes” project, which involves the Department of Human
Services, Oregon Department of Forestry (ODOF), and Powder River in a
cooperative effort with private non-profit organizations and community
partners to provide firewood gleaned from ODOF and private land sites to
fixed income seniors, disabled persons, and persons utilizing subsidy
services throughout Baker, Wallowa, and Union counties.
-
Upkeep of the
Leo Adler Parkway
(walking path) through
Baker
City
.
-
Placing
Neighborhood watch signs in the community for the Baker County Sheriff’s
Office.
-
Litter patrol of
County roads throughout
Baker
County
.
-
Snow removal in
the winter months for senior/disabled citizens.
-
Maintenance,
construction and other miscellaneous projects for local churches and other
agencies at reduced costs
