NORCOR Hoping To Receive Coffee Creek Overflow

NORCOR officials hope they might be able to help the state deal with overcrowding at the Coffee Creek women’s prison.  NORCOR board member and Hood River County Commission Chair Ron Rivers says they have been working with the state for about a year to hopefully house about 50 to 60 female inmates from Coffee Creek at the regional jail, noting they have made changes to meet state requirements for such a move.  Rivers noted if they received inmates from Coffee Creek, they would be non-violent offenders.  NORCOR currently houses an average of 120 inmates, about half of its capacity.
