The Northern Oregon Regional Correctional Facility board has asked consultants to study how to make the jail sustainable. Wasco County Commissioner and NORCOR board member Scott Hege says it’s not right now, adding the facility was built and designed to use a lot of contract income. Hege says the goal is to figure out some kind of financial stability to help the four counties be able to better plan their costs, adding the market for renting jail beds is highly competitive. He also said counties that operate their own jails are dealing with the same issues.
