The Columbia Co Jail, located at 901 Port Ave in St. Helens, OR, is a secure detention center operated by the Columbia County Sheriff's Office. This facility primarily houses individuals awaiting trial or sentencing, typically for less than two years. It accepts inmates from various jurisdictions, including surrounding towns, municipalities, the US Marshal's Service, and the St. Helens Police Department.
New detainees are regularly admitted to the jail, with some being released on bail or placed under pretrial services caseloads. Others await their court appearances at the facility, receiving necessary accommodations such as bedding and meals. View all arrest records here.
Inmates serving as trustees within the jail undertake various tasks, including cooking, laundry, and commissary management, often receiving minimal compensation or sentence reduction for their services.
The jail offers a phone program for outbound calls only, with inmates unable to receive incoming calls. Accepting collect calls can be expensive, sometimes exceeding $10 per call. Alternatively, setting up an account through a third-party phone company may entail high fees per minute of usage. Click here for discounts on inmate calls, especially if the communication with your inmate is frequent. It's important to remember that all phone calls are recorded, and discussing sensitive legal matters over these lines is discouraged.

All public visits will be scheduled by the Adult In Custody (AIC) requesting the visit. The AIC must contact prospective visitors by phone or mail, and determine an acceptable visiting date. Time slots may be used on a first-come, first serve basis. Visitors are encouraged to arrive 10 to 15 minutes early to sign in. If all of the slots are taken for that time frame they can either wait till the next time's start for that pod, if it is available, or return on another day. Visits will start on an hour and a half hour. Authorized visitors shall be members of the inmate's family, and friends age 18 and older. Visitors under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
AIC visitation is a privilege and while the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office encourages visitation, that privilege must be regulated to protect the needs of the entire jail operation. The amount of time allotted for visitation is based upon the classification and status of each inmate.
Additional rules for inmate visitation can be found HERE. AICs limited visiting will take place one (1) time per week as time and space allows. Please see the current visitation schedule below.
