The Linn Co Jail is a detention center located at 1115 Jackson St SE Albany, OR which is operated locally by the Linn County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Linn County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Albany Police Department, and the US Marshal's Service.

New detainees arrive at the jail regularly, with some being released on bail, placed under pretrial services caseloads, supervised by probation agencies, or released on recognizance with a court appearance agreement. Those who are not released await their court appearances at the jail, receiving accommodations including bedding and meals. You can see all the arrest records for Oregon here.

The Jail, inaugurated in May 1989 with 114 beds, replaced the old 24-bed facility at the courthouse, active since 1939. Due to a surge in inmate numbers by 1995, 20 beds were added through double bunking single-bed cells. In January 1998, the East wing expansion introduced two 48-bed cellblocks, elevating capacity to 230 inmates. On March 01, 2012, budget constraints led to the closure of 48 beds, reducing capacity to 182. However, in April 2015, 48 beds were reopened, restoring the total capacity to 230.

The Linn County Jail processed 2,925 offenders in 2022, with charges spanning misdemeanors to aggravated murder. In 2020, the average daily inmate population stood at 156.
