NORCOR Says It’s In Compliance With State Law

Northern Oregon Regional Correctional Facility officials say an internal audit found the facility is in full compliance with Oregon law and found no violations.  The finding comes after NORCOR’s Sheriff’s Advisory Board asked for the audit to verify that no individuals are being held for federal immigration administrative violations, in accordance with Oregon’s sanctuary statues.  In a statement, NORCOR officials said three individuals were identified as being held on federal charges of illegal re-entry and dangerous drugs, but met all legal requirements for custody under Oregon law.  However, the Advisory Board and NORCOR command have coordinated with the U.S. Marshals Service to transfer the trio to a different facility, and also advised the Marshals Service that individuals facing illegal re-entry charges are not be transported to NORCOR moving forward.  The Sheriff’s Advisory Board is made up of the sheriffs of the four counties that operate the regional jail.
