Check Jackie Winters Youth Placement

Jackie Winters Transition Program Overview

Jackie Winters Transition Program is operated by the Oregon Youth Authority and is located in Albany next to Oak Creek Youth Correctional Facility. The research identifies it as the former Young Women's Transition Program. It serves youth preparing to transition from Oak Creek back to the community, with a therapeutic-community model emphasizing education, relapse prevention, and skills needed for successful independent adulthood.

This is a youth transition program, not a county jail. It should not be used to search for adults arrested in Linn County, adults held on local warrants, adults awaiting trial, or adults serving local sentences. Those adult custody questions belong with Linn County Jail, the sheriff's Current Adults in Custody roster, the jail phone line, court records, ODOC adult systems, BOP, ICE, or VISOR depending on the custody stage.

The program is tied to Oak Creek youth correctional custody. Youth may be eligible if the Oak Creek multidisciplinary team determines the program is appropriate and the youth has shown treatment progress, readiness for more active treatment, and readiness to learn and demonstrate transition skills. That eligibility structure makes the program different from a simple detention bed or public booking list.

Jackie Winters Transition Program Capacity and Population

The official program detail in the research lists capacity as up to 12 youth ages 15 to 24. This capacity belongs to an OYA youth transition program and should not be counted as adult Linn County Jail capacity. The adult jail's researched capacity is 231 beds, while the Jackie Winters number describes a much smaller transition setting adjacent to Oak Creek.

The research does not provide a current daily population count, annual admission total, demographic breakdown, or average length of stay for Jackie Winters. Because those figures are not sourced, they are not estimated. The key published facts are the program's OYA operation, Lochner Road location, capacity, age range, transition purpose, and relationship to Oak Creek.

How to Check Placement at Jackie Winters Transition Program

No public adult-style locator or roster was documented for Jackie Winters Transition Program. Family contact and placement questions should be handled through OYA and Oak Creek-linked channels, not through the Linn County adult jail roster. Because the program is for selected Oak Creek youth preparing for community transition, the most relevant contacts are the program staff, the youth's OYA team, counsel, and authorized family or guardian contacts.

1. Confirm that the question involves an OYA youth transition placement, not adult Linn County Jail custody.
2. Call the OYA general number for the Lochner Road facility at 541-791-5900.
3. Use listed Jackie Winters staff contacts when the program page identifies the right staff member.
4. Ask the assigned OYA team about visitation, contact, mail, property, and transition-planning rules.
5. If the person is an adult, use adult jail, ODOC, VISOR, BOP, ICE, or court records instead.

This distinction matters because adult search tools will not explain OYA transition status. Linn County Jail roster records are current adult custody records. Oregon Offender Search is for adult Department of Corrections offenders. Jackie Winters is a youth transition program next to Oak Creek and does not have the same public-record profile as adult custody systems.

Jackie Winters Transition Program Address and Contact

The program shares the Lochner Road address and OYA general phone used for Oak Creek-related contacts, but the research also lists program-specific staff contacts. Because staff assignments can change, verify current staff names and direct numbers on the official OYA Jackie Winters page before relying on saved contact information.

Use these contacts for program direction, not adult booking confirmation. If the inquiry involves an adult arrest, bail payment, booking photo, court charge, or adult jail release date, the correct local facility is Linn County Jail at 1115 Jackson Street SE.

Visiting Someone at Jackie Winters Transition Program

The research states that family contact and visitation follow OYA and Oak Creek-linked pages. It does not provide a separate Jackie Winters weekly visiting table. Because the program is adjacent to Oak Creek and serves youth transitioning from Oak Creek, visitors should confirm the current schedule, approval process, identification requirements, clothing rules, and any youth-specific restrictions directly through OYA before traveling.

Do not use the Linn County Jail block schedule, adult AIC visitor-list process, or adult jail visitation appointment number for Jackie Winters. Adult jail visiting is based on AIC housing groups such as A Block, C Block, Prelim Males, Work Quarters, and female MED/MAX groups. Jackie Winters is an OYA youth transition setting with different approval and contact rules.

Mail, Phone, and Money at Jackie Winters Transition Program

The research does not document an adult-style mail-scanning vendor, commissary deposit provider, bail account, phone-rate table, or public video system for Jackie Winters. Those Linn County Jail rules are specific to adult AICs at the sheriff's jail and should not be imported into this program. Instead, mail, phone, property, packages, and money questions should be directed to the OYA program contacts or the youth's assigned team.

Because the program's purpose is transition planning, contact rules may connect to education, treatment, relapse-prevention work, community readiness, and supervision planning. A family should ask staff which contact route supports the youth's current plan rather than assuming ordinary jail mail or commissary rules apply.

Transition Placement at Jackie Winters Program

Jackie Winters does not operate like a street-arrest booking facility. Placement is tied to Oak Creek and OYA case planning. The research says youth may be eligible when the Oak Creek multidisciplinary team determines the program is appropriate and the youth has shown treatment progress, readiness for more active treatment, and readiness to learn and demonstrate transition skills. That means access and placement questions are likely to involve the youth's treatment team, case coordinator, program staff, and authorized family contacts.

The program's published purpose is to support movement back to the community. It emphasizes education, relapse prevention, therapeutic support, and skills needed for independent adulthood. Those goals distinguish it from the secure county juvenile detention center, which receives youth through law enforcement, court, or probation placement routes, and from the adult Linn County Jail, which handles adult pretrial and sentenced local custody.

About Jackie Winters Transition Program

The facility's place in Linn County custody research is narrow but important. It explains why a person searching the Lochner Road campus may find multiple youth custody names: Linn-Benton Juvenile Detention Center, Oak Creek Youth Correctional Facility, and Jackie Winters Transition Program. The first is county juvenile detention in partnership with Benton County. The second is an OYA secure youth correctional facility. Jackie Winters is the OYA transition program for youth preparing to move from Oak Creek back to the community.

The program should be described as youth custody and transition support, not as an adult prison. Oregon Department of Corrections lists no adult ODOC prison in Linn County. Adult Linn County defendants sentenced to prison for more than 12 months enter ODOC intake and statewide prison placement outside the county, where Oregon Offender Search and VISOR become the correct lookup tools.

The program also should not be confused with federal or immigration custody. No BOP facility, ICE detention center, or official adult U.S. Marshals contract facility in Linn County was located in the research. Federal and immigration lookups use BOP, ICE ODLS, court, USMS, or confirmed detention-facility channels, not Jackie Winters.
