NORCOR Juvenile Facility Overview
Northern Oregon Regional Corrections Juvenile Facility is operated by NORCOR at the regional corrections complex in The Dalles. Sherman County's Community Corrections materials list juvenile corrections through NORCOR, and the facility map places it next to the adult facility but under a separate youth custody role. It is not a public adult inmate roster page, and it should not be used to publish or infer youth names from the adult Adults in Custody list.
The facility address used in NORCOR material is 211 Webber Street, The Dalles, Oregon 97058. NORCOR lists the juvenile phone as 541-298-1447, fax as 541-298-1258, and email as juvenile@norcor.co.wasco.or.us. Sherman County's Community Corrections page also lists juvenile corrections with 541-208-1447 and 541-298-4344, fax 541-298-1337, and the same Webber Road complex. When the contact numbers differ, the safest first call is the NORCOR juvenile line because it belongs to the facility operator.
The NORCOR homepage shows the regional corrections complex and adult and juvenile contact blocks.
The homepage image is useful because it separates adult and juvenile contact paths at the same regional corrections complex.
NORCOR Juvenile Record Limits
Juvenile custody information is handled differently from adult jail information. Research did not locate an official public youth roster for NORCOR. That absence is important. The public Adults in Custody roster is an adult roster. It should not be read as a missing-youth database, a juvenile booking log, or a source for juvenile detention names. Youth detention records may involve confidentiality rules, court controls, family or guardian verification, and agency-to-agency communication that do not apply in the same way to adult custody records.
A person trying to confirm whether a youth is held at NORCOR should use the juvenile facility contact line or the proper court or agency channel. The request should be tied to a lawful role, such as parent, guardian, attorney, agency representative, victim services contact, or another person authorized by the responsible office. When a youth matter has a court case, case access may be restricted. Oregon Judicial Department materials note that some case categories are excluded from public online access due to state law, federal law, or court policy, including juvenile records.
Important: The NORCOR adult roster is for adult custody. Do not use it as a public juvenile detention search.
NORCOR Juvenile Custody Population
No current official rated capacity figure for the juvenile facility was located in the sources reviewed. The strongest current numbers come from the March 19, 2026 NORCOR board packet. For January 2026, the packet reported NORCOR juvenile admissions of 5, releases of 5, average daily population of 1, and an average length of stay of 4. It separately reported Youth Care Center admissions of 2, releases of 1, average daily population of 5, and average length of stay of 25.
The same board packet reported detention admissions of 11, releases of 9, average daily population of 5, and average length of stay of 10. A current detention population snapshot on February 19, 2026 listed NORCOR 1, Youth Care Center 5, and Detention 2. These numbers show that the juvenile facility has a small and specialized youth population compared with the adult regional jail. They also show why public adult custody tools should not be stretched into youth-record lookups.
| January 2026 Category | Admissions | Releases | ADP | Average Stay |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NORCOR juvenile | 5 | 5 | 1 | 4 days |
| Youth Care Center | 2 | 1 | 5 | 25 days |
| Detention | 11 | 9 | 5 | 10 days |
NORCOR Juvenile Custody Lookup
The correct approach for a juvenile custody question is a fallback chain, not a public roster search. First, contact the juvenile facility or the responsible youth authority, probation, court, attorney, or referring agency. Second, use Sherman County or Oregon court channels only where the record is public or where the person requesting access has authority. Third, use adult lookup tools only when the person is legally an adult or when an adult custody record is the actual question.
- Call NORCOR Juvenile Corrections at 541-298-1447 and be prepared to explain your relationship or authorized role.
- If the question is tied to a court matter, contact the appropriate court or attorney instead of relying on an online public search.
- If the youth is under Oregon Youth Authority or a consortium referral, ask the referring agency or counsel which office can release information.
- If the person is an adult, use the NORCOR Adult Facility roster page and adult custody channels.
- If victim notification is the issue, ask the responsible agency whether Oregon VISOR or another notification path applies to the specific record.
This distinction protects accuracy. The Adult Corrections roster may list adult names, booking dates, charge text, bail, scheduled release, and image links. It does not publish a youth detention list, and the juvenile facility should be described as a separate contact and program channel.
NORCOR Juvenile Facility Contact
Use the juvenile facility contact when the question involves youth detention, the Youth Care Center, approved family contact, attorney access, volunteer or program contact, or a referring-agency issue. Use the adult facility line only for adult jail custody. Sheriff James Burgett and the Sherman County Sheriff's Office can route local law-enforcement questions, but the office is not a substitute for the NORCOR juvenile facility operator.

Where a youth matter involves a filed court case, public access may be limited. For adult criminal case records after an arrest, the separate court records after jail arrest page explains the adult court pathway, but juvenile court access should be confirmed through the court or counsel.
NORCOR Juvenile Visits
Research did not locate a public juvenile visitation schedule like the adult Telmate and GettingOut schedule. That gap should not be filled by copying adult visit rules. Juvenile contact is normally more controlled and may depend on guardian status, court orders, case plans, school or program status, attorney representation, agency referral, and facility approval. The juvenile facility line is the correct place to confirm current rules before attempting a visit.
The March 2026 board packet shows that the youth facility operates as a detention and program setting, including the Youth Care Center. It also mentions volunteers, school support, and high school graduation in the youth program. Those details support a youth-program description, but they do not create a public visiting calendar.
| Contact Type | Schedule Status | Best Channel |
|---|---|---|
| Parent or guardian visit | Not published in reviewed public sources | Call NORCOR Juvenile Corrections for approval and timing. |
| Attorney or legal visit | Handled through legal or facility channels | Use counsel and the juvenile facility contact line. |
| Agency contact | Depends on referral, case plan, and authority | Coordinate through the referring agency and NORCOR staff. |
| Volunteer or program access | Not a public walk-in visit | Follow facility orientation and approval requirements. |
Note: Do not rely on adult video-visit hours for youth custody unless NORCOR Juvenile Corrections confirms they apply.
NORCOR Juvenile Mail and Support
Public research did not locate a juvenile-specific mail format, commissary fee table, or public deposit vendor equivalent to the adult TextBehind and Telmate pages. Because youth custody has different rules, adult mail and money instructions should not be copied to the juvenile facility. Families and guardians should call the juvenile facility before sending mail, property, money, school materials, clothing, or personal items.
The adult NORCOR pages give detailed public rules for adults, but those rules belong to Adult Corrections unless the juvenile facility confirms a shared process. The safer youth path is to ask staff for the exact name format, acceptable sender status, approved item list, and whether any court, guardian, or agency approval is needed. If a youth is part of the Youth Care Center or an Oregon Youth Authority referral, the referring agency may also control contact or property rules.
| Need | Public Source Result | Appropriate Next Step |
|---|---|---|
| Mailing instructions | No youth-specific public format located | Call 541-298-1447 before sending mail. |
| Money or commissary | No youth-specific fee table located | Ask juvenile staff whether deposits are allowed and by whom. |
| Property or clothing | No public youth item list located | Confirm approved items and delivery rules with staff. |
| School or program materials | Board packet notes education and volunteer support | Coordinate through facility or program staff. |
NORCOR Juvenile Records Channels
Public records requests are not the same for every record type. Oregon public records law starts from a public right to inspect nonexempt public records, but juvenile, education, medical, victim, mental-health, and court-controlled records can have limits. NORCOR's adult public information process is useful for adult jail records, yet youth records need a more careful path through the juvenile facility, court, attorney, guardian, or referring agency.
If a record involves a youth program rather than an adult booking, the request should identify the lawful role of the requester and the specific record being sought. If the request involves a police report, contact the agency that created it. If it involves a court case, contact the court or counsel. If it involves medical, school, or program information, expect additional limits and verification. Avoid broad public-record demands that assume juvenile custody records are open like adult roster rows.
- Adult roster
- A public list of current adults in custody at NORCOR Adult Corrections.
- Juvenile detention record
- A youth custody or program record that may have confidentiality limits and controlled access.
- Referring agency
- The county, court, Oregon Youth Authority, or consortium source that placed or referred the youth.
- VISOR
- Oregon's victim notification system, used where a custody record is eligible for notification.
NORCOR Juvenile Lookup Boundaries
The juvenile facility belongs in the Sherman County detention facility list because it is part of NORCOR's regional corrections infrastructure. It should still be kept separate from adult, state prison, federal, and immigration searches. Adult pretrial or local custody uses NORCOR Adult Corrections. State prison custody uses Oregon Offender Search after transfer to ODOC. Federal sentenced custody uses the BOP locator. Immigration detention uses the ICE Online Detainee Locator. Youth detention uses facility, court, guardian, attorney, or referring-agency channels rather than a public adult jail roster.
| Question | Use This Channel | Do Not Use |
|---|---|---|
| Current Sherman County adult jail custody | NORCOR Adults in Custody roster | Juvenile facility contact as an adult roster substitute. |
| Current youth detention or program status | NORCOR Juvenile Corrections, court, guardian, attorney, or referring agency | Adult roster or public mugshot pages. |
| Sentenced Oregon prison custody | Oregon Offender Search | NORCOR juvenile records channel. |
| Federal or immigration custody | BOP, U.S. Marshals, or ICE locator channels | Juvenile facility records requests unless NORCOR confirms involvement. |
NORCOR Juvenile Programs
The March 2026 board packet gives the most specific recent program context for the juvenile facility. Detention Manager Todd Giesen reported strong referrals for the Youth Care Center program, orientation for 22 volunteers, and a second volunteer orientation planned for 12 more. The packet also noted that youth in NORCOR's program achieved high school graduation with support from school staff. Those points support a facility profile focused on youth detention, care, education, and approved support rather than public booking publication.
The packet also said the Oregon Youth Authority contract was for an average daily population of 6, and that the Youth Care Center takes youth from the Central and Eastern Oregon Juvenile Justice Consortium region. That means Sherman County youth custody may be only one part of the population served. Public users should not assume every youth in the building is a Sherman County matter, just as the adult roster includes multiple counties and contract custody groups.
Note: Confirm youth contact, record access, and visit approval through NORCOR Juvenile Corrections or the responsible court or agency.
