The Malheur County OR Correctional Facility is a medium-security detention center located at 151 "B" St West Vale, OR which is operated locally by the Malheur 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. Malheur County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, municipalities, the US Marshal's Service and the Vale Police Department who do not have their own long-term lock-up.



The Malheur County Correctional Facility is a component of the sheriff's office, under Sheriff Andrew P. Bentz. Lt. Aaron Hartman is the commander of the corrections division.

Completed in 1996, the Malheur County Correctional Facility is a modern, 105-bed facility that was designed and built for the county by the architectural firm of Lomard-Conrad and Wensel.

The staffing of the correctional facility is comprised of two sergeants, 11 corrections deputies, three law technicians and a food serivce director. A contracted physician's assistant, in addition to one full-time and on part-time nurse provide inmate medical service twice weekly.

Bringing items for inmates

  • Family and friends may bring cash or cashier's checks to be deposited in the inmate's commissary account.
  • Family and friends may bring personal clothing for inmates going to trial.
  • Family and friends may bring underclothing. Inmates are allowed the following underclothing: three pair of underwear, three pair of socks, three plain T-shirts (with no writing on them) and three bras (without underwire).
  • Inmates being released from custody are required to take all personal property when they leave the facility. Any items that remain at the facility after 30 days will be disposed of. If the inmate is being transported to another agency, all personal property must be released prior to being transported. Inmates will not be able to take personal property, with the exception of legal mail, on the transport. It is the responsibility of the inmate to complete a property release form and have personal property released before leaving the facility.
