About Oak Creek Youth Correctional Facility:
Oak Creek is one of nine Oregon Youth Authority Correctional Facilities. It holds the distinction as the sole facility that serves young women in Oregon. Located in the city of Albany within Linn County Oak Creek serves approximately 50 female youth in the juvenile and adult justice systems. Like the seven facilities that serve males Oak Creek houses youth who are adjudicated for criminal behavior in juvenile court as well as youth serving sentences that originated in adult court from various jurisdictions. These youth have either been waived to adult court from juvenile court or by virtue of their age and severity of the criminal offense automatically remanded to adult court.
Unique among the OYA facilities and unlike their male facility counterparts is Oak Creeks capacity and challenge to address all aspects of a correctional facility. Stated another way Oak Creek is the sole facility in OYA that engages in the functions of Intake Long Term Care Mental Health Behavior Management and Transition. While some OYA facilities may do most of the five functions listed above no OYA facility aside from Oak Creek addresses all five areas as part of its ongoing practice.
