This is a private reference site, not a Jefferson County or Oregon government office. We cannot confirm custody or release, free anyone, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the agency that holds the record.
Local Jail and Records
For present county jail custody, contact the Jefferson County Adult Correctional Facility. For a past booking or release event, use Jefferson County's public-records channel. The research found no published public-record counter hours or general release-hour schedule for the jail, so none are stated here.

The county form lists photocopies at $0.30 per page, research at $40 per hour with a half-hour minimum, computer quick prints at $0.40, and CD or USB delivery at $25. Ask which schedule applies before ordering, since sheriff reports have a separate fee schedule.
Court and Supervision Contacts
A court file can show the legal order behind a release, dismissal, sentence, or transfer. Community Corrections handles probation and post-prison supervision for people assigned in Jefferson County, but it is not a complete list of everyone ever held in the jail.

Madras, OR 97741
Phone: 541-475-3317

Address sources conflict: the current county page lists 66 SE D Street, while a 2025 statewide directory lists 243 SW 3rd Street, Suite A. Call first.
State Custody and Alerts
A Deer Ridge or other Oregon state-prison case belongs on the Oregon DOC path. DOC Former Offender Records can help with a past state custody or discharge record. Oregon VISOR handles custody and supervision notifications and replaces legacy VINELink in Oregon.

Choose the Right Route
The correct contact depends on who held the person and what kind of proof is needed.
- For a released person or county release record, follow the full process on the home page.
- For local community supervision, use Parole / Probation and call Adult Community Corrections.
- For recent county departures, review Released Last 24 Hours; Jefferson County does not publish a labeled 24-hour feed.
- For timing or alerts, compare Inmate Release Date with the VINELink Release Check, which redirects legacy searches to VISOR.
- For a county jail or state prison, use the facility pages in the footer and keep those custody systems separate.
- For a sentenced state prisoner, search Oregon Offender Search or request a record from Oregon DOC.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP Inmate Locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator. Neither confirms an ordinary Jefferson County jail release.
