Sheriffs and juvenile directors in the four counties that utilize the Northern Oregon Regional Corrections Facility have presented a new management concept for the facility to the NORCOR board. Sherman County Sheriff Brad Lohrey says for the adult portion of the jail, it’s based on the traditional structure for individual county jails in which the sheriff handles administration with a jail commander in charge of day-to-day operations. In this case a jail commander would report to one of the four county sheriffs, who would then report to the other sheriffs. The concept would have a similar structure for the juvenile corrections facility at NORCOR, with the four county juvenile directors having oversight. Currently, NORCOR employs an administrator plus administrative and operations lieutenants for the adult jail, with the administrator also involved with the juvenile side assisted by a manager. The NORCOR board, made up of representatives from each of the four counties, is currently mulling its options as administrator Bryan Brandenburg prepares to retire. Its next meeting to discuss the issue is on September 12.
