Find Union County Correctional Facility Releases

Union County Facility Releases

Union County Correctional Facility is the adult county jail operated by the Union County Sheriff's Office, or UCSO. Leaving UCCF does not always mean entering the community. A detainee may leave after bail, a signed pretrial release agreement, time served, sentence completion, dismissal, or another court order. The person may also transfer to Oregon DOC, another county, the United States Marshals Service, immigration custody, a hospital, or another authority. The person-specific UCCF release record is the strongest source for the actual departure time and recorded disposition.

Each source answers a different question. A court order gives legal authority for release in a case, but jail processing or a separate hold may delay physical exit. VISOR or Oregon Offender Search may show later state custody or community supervision when that system applies. Pretrial Services can explain an active signed release agreement, while Community Corrections deals with assigned parole, post-prison supervision, or probation. A receiving authority must confirm a transfer.

Verify Union County Facility Releases

The official UCSO jail roster landing page links to a dated PDF of people currently listed at UCCF. It is a starting point, not a recent-release search. Record the print date and any file number before calling. If the person is absent, ask whether the jail can confirm current status or a public transfer destination. A time-sensitive phone answer should be followed by a written record when the exact event matters.

1. Open the current UCCF PDF and note its print date. Copy the name and inmate or file number exactly if the person appears.
2. Call UCCF at 541-963-1020. Ask whether the person remains in that facility and whether a public release or transfer fact can be given.
3. Request the person-specific jail record from UCSO. Ask for the actual release date and time, disposition, and destination or receiving authority if recorded.
4. Check the Oregon court case and obtain the signed release order, dismissal, disposition, or judgment. An order may precede physical exit.
5. If the record shows supervision, contact Pretrial Services or Community Corrections according to the case stage.
6. When a transfer is shown, follow the named county, Oregon DOC, BOP, ICE, federal court, or other receiving source.

The broader Union County released inmate search explains how to reconcile county, state, court, notification, and federal sources when the destination is unclear.

Note: Record the source, print or update time, call time, and exact status words before comparing results from different agencies.

Union County Facility Roster Limits

A July 31, 2026 research capture of the UCCF PDF was headed “InmateRoster Printed on July 31, 2026.” It contained 36 current records across five pages. The printed date shows that the file was generated, but UCSO does not promise a real-time update cycle. The PDF has no search control, archive, recent-release window, or after-release retention rule.

The current roster fields are narrow and exact. “Date Arrest” is the label, not “Booking Date.” Bond text can describe a percentage bond, judge, no-bail status, detainer, or cross-reference to another charge. None of those entries confirms that a release later occurred.

A name on one snapshot and absent on a later snapshot proves only that the person is no longer listed. It cannot classify the reason. Do not create a release list by comparing PDFs. Ask UCCF and request the jail record.

Request Union County Facility Release Records

The UCSO Public Records Unit accepts requests for jail records. A focused request should give the full name, inmate or file number if known, and approximate arrest or booking dates. Ask for the booking sheet, actual release date and time, release or disposition code, and destination or receiving authority if recorded. This wording identifies the desired event without claiming that every field exists or must be disclosed.

Use the current request form. UCSO says ordinary email cannot deliver records unless the requester supplies encrypted-email capability. Fax, counter pickup, or mail for a small fee are alternatives. The Records Specialist provides the cost, and substantial work may require prepayment. The published schedule charges $10 for jail records through ten pages and $15 at eleven or more pages. Research and production costs $35 per hour after the free first 15 minutes, with a half-hour minimum once that threshold is crossed.

The screenshot below comes from the official UCSO records request page and shows the direct route for UCCF jail and release material.

The page is the documentary fallback when a current PDF or phone call cannot establish the release time, type, or destination.

Oregon Public Records Law, ORS 192.311 through 192.478, supplies the request framework, but exemptions and other statutes may require redaction or withholding. Juvenile, sealed, victim, medical, security, and other protected information may be limited. A public-record request is not a promise that every requested field will be released.

Note: The sheriff records line is not the jail information line; call 541-963-1020 for a current UCCF custody check.

Union County Facility Release Destinations

UCCF receives bookings from UCSO, the La Grande Police Department, Oregon State Police, and Union County Community Corrections. The current roster has also displayed Wallowa County matters. Those facts are regional clues, not proof of a specific contract. Research found no official agreement that should be described as a fixed regional-jail arrangement.

Agency and court identifiers are vital when tracing a release. A person on the Union County PDF may have a Wallowa County matter, a state hold, or another source of authority. Ask which case or agency controlled the departure and whether UCCF recorded a receiving custodian. Union and Wallowa Counties share 10th Judicial District judges, pretrial services, and Community Corrections, so the responsible office may cross county lines even when the person was held in La Grande.

The official Union/Wallowa Pretrial Services page shows the separate court-supervised release path.

A signed agreement supports a pending-case community status, but it remains distinct from parole, probation, and proof that every custodial hold cleared at signing.

Union County Work Crew Release Difference

UCSO identifies Work Crew as its single sentencing program, but official information says it is usually used instead of jail. Participation therefore should not be described as a release from a custodial stay. A Work Crew assignment can be part of a sentence without proving that the person was booked into UCCF and later released.

The program operates Sunday through Wednesday and meets on the L Street side near the white van. Participants must bring lunch and clothing suited to the weather. The usual cost is $15 per day, while people sentenced by Union County Community Corrections do not pay that fee. If a participant does not complete a day, the matter returns to court and a warrant issues.

The official UCSO Corrections page supplies the facility history, scale, contact, and Work Crew details.

Its wording supports treating Work Crew as an alternative sentence path, not as a roster, custody exit, or recent-release record.

Union County Facility Release Facts

UCCF opened in 1979. It has a maximum capacity of 37 and reports about 1,200 bookings each year. That volume against a small number of beds explains why a dated current PDF is a poor historical source. Turnover can be high, and the roster only preserves the people listed at its print time. A person-specific file number is especially useful because it connects the snapshot to bail processing and a later jail-record request.

UCSO warns that 541-963-1017 is the law-enforcement line and does not have jail information. Research found no official fixed release hours, exit door, weekend or holiday procedure, property-pickup rule, transport service, gate payment, local good-time formula, ICE release procedure, or public warrant list. Ask the facility a narrow question instead of assuming an answer.

No separate municipal adult jail, Oregon state prison, federal prison, or ICE detention center was verified in Union County official materials. UCCF is the verified local adult jail. State, federal, and immigration custody are separate systems, even when UCCF briefly holds or transfers a person for another authority.

Note: The current roster describes who is listed at UCCF, while a release record explains when and why that custody ended.
