The Springfield OR Municipal Jail serves as a low/medium-security city detention center located at 230 4th St in Springfield, OR. Operated locally by the police and sheriff's departments, it houses inmates and detainees awaiting trial or sentencing. Most sentenced inmates have terms of less than two years. The facility also accepts inmates from surrounding towns and occasionally from the US Marshal's Service.

New detainees are regularly admitted to the jail, with some being released on bail or placed under pretrial services caseloads.

The Springfield Municipal Jail began accepting inmates January 29, 2010. The 100-bed facility is the largest municipal jail in the State of Oregon. The bond measure to build the facility was passed in November of 2004 by the citizens of Springfield.

The purpose of the Springfield Jail is to create a safer community and provide secure incarceration and detention for misdemeanant offenders, pre and post-trial.

The goals of the jail for the City of Springfield are:

  • Hold offenders accountable for their criminal behavior.
  • Reduce crime in the City of Springfield.
  • Reduce “Failure to Appear” instances in the Municipal Court (reducing the costs associated with each instance of Failure to Appear by criminal defendants)
  • Increase revenue associated with fines that go unpaid in Municipal Court
  • Reduce the police officer transport time required to lodge criminal offenders in the Lane County Jail.
  • Reduce booking time for police officers.
  • Increase police officers’ time spent patrolling Springfield neighborhoods.

INMATE MAIL:

Can inmates receive mail? – Yes, but it must come through the US Postal Service. Mail delivered by hand, courier or commercially delivered will be refused.

How do I address the mail?

Labels are removed before delivering to the inmate. Without a return address, the inmate may not be able to reply to your letter.

Is mail subject to inspection? – Yes, all incoming and outgoing mail is inspected by jail staff. Any mail containing inappropriate material/content will be returned to the sender. Mail containing contraband that could threaten the safety and security of the jail and staff will be seized and the Jail Operations Supervisor will cause it to be destroyed, returned or investigated for prosecution. Introduction of contraband into a correctional facility is a class C felony under ORS 162.185 and is punishable by up to 5 years in prison and a fine of up to
$100,000.

Prohibited mail is defined as follows:

1. Nude photos or other pictorial depictions of genitalia, including women’s breasts. This policy also prohibits photographs or drawings depicting sex, excretion, sadism, masochism or materials that go beyond the customary limits of decency.
