Washington County Corrections Overview
The Washington County Community Corrections Center is a separate local custody facility operated by Washington County Community Corrections. County materials describe it as a secure and structured setting for people serving sentences or under supervision while they prepare to return to the community. It is also known in county materials as WCCCC, the Restitution Center, the Work Release Center, and the Community Corrections Center. Those aliases point to the same program setting, not to a separate public booking jail.
The Community Corrections Center focuses on accountability, employment, treatment, and skill building. Residents may be in work release, alternative sanctions, GPS Home Monitoring, or other transition programming. That purpose makes the facility different from Washington County Jail. The jail is the booking and pretrial custody center, while WCCCC is a supervised resident and reentry facility. The public jail roster may help when a person was just arrested, but WCCCC resident questions usually need Community Corrections or program staff rather than a roster-style jail search.
The Community Corrections Center overview shows the facility capacity, address, phone contact, resident purpose, and visiting/drop-off hours.
That overview is the clearest county source for the facility's work-release and transition role.
Lookup for WCCCC Residents
WCCCC should not be presented as the main public booking roster. If the person was just arrested or may still be held before court, begin with the official Washington County Who is in Custody? roster and the 24-hour arrest and release log. Those tools are built for current jail custody and recent arrest or release events. If the question is about a WCCCC resident's program status, schedule, drop-off, work release, or supervision path, contact Community Corrections and program staff instead of relying on a jail roster result.
- Use the county jail custody roster first when the event may be a new arrest or current jail hold.
- Check the 24-hour arrest and release log when the arrest or release was recent.
- Contact WCCCC staff for resident, work release, drop-off, or program schedule questions.
- Use ODOC or VISOR only if the person has moved into state prison custody or statewide supervision.
| Question | Best Starting Point | Why |
|---|---|---|
| New arrest | Washington County Jail roster | The jail handles booking and current custody status. |
| Recent release | 24-hour arrest/release log | The log is generally updated every two hours. |
| Work release schedule | Community Corrections staff | Counselors verify schedules, pay stubs, and employer contact. |
| State prison transfer | ODOC or VISOR | State custody is not shown through WCCCC as a booking roster. |
This distinction matters for families and employers because the Washington County Community Corrections Center resident population is supervised through program rules, not ordinary jail booking status. The main jail roster remains useful for custody screening, but WCCCC staff are the source for resident-program questions.
Washington County Corrections Contact
The Community Corrections Center is located close to the jail and court cluster in downtown Hillsboro. Use the facility phone for program, resident, visitation, and drop-off questions. For custody after arrest, the separate Washington County Jail remains the county's booking facility and public roster source. That separation keeps WCCCC from being confused with the jail's pretrial population and short-sentence housing.

WCCCC Visits and Drop-Offs
WCCCC has its own visit and drop-off rules. County materials list a broad visitation and drop-off window, but the facility closes for all visits, including professional visits, during two daily closure periods. New residents also have a first-week blackout period. During the first seven days, only one initial drop-off is allowed. The drop-off party must check in with staff, show valid identification, be at least 18 or accompanied by an adult, and bring no money or correspondence. No visit occurs during that initial drop-off.
| Stage | Hours or Limit | Rules |
|---|---|---|
| General visit/drop-off window | 9:30am - 9:00pm | Subject to daily closure periods. |
| Daily closure | 11:30am - 1:30pm | Closed for all visits, including professional visits. |
| Daily closure | 5:00pm - 6:30pm | Closed for all visits, including professional visits. |
| First seven days | One initial drop-off only | No visit, no money, and no correspondence during initial drop-off. |
| After blackout | One one-hour visit and one drop-off | Must be on the resident's designated visiting day. |
Note: Confirm the resident's designated visiting day before travel because WCCCC allows only set visits after blackout.
Washington County Work Release
Work release is a core part of the Community Corrections Center's role. Residents are encouraged to look for jobs while staying at WCCCC. Once a resident finds employment, the counselor verifies the job through the resident's schedule and pay stubs and contacts the employer about attendance and job performance. This is why WCCCC contact questions often involve program staff, not jail records staff. The facility is built around structured custody with community accountability, so work, treatment, appointments, and release conditions are all part of resident supervision.
The WCCCC work release page describes work release, alternative sentencing, GPS Home Monitoring, and Electronic Home Detention links in the Washington County system.
That work-release source is most useful when the question involves employment verification, resident schedules, or alternative sanction pathways.
- Work release
- A custody program that lets an eligible resident work in the community while living under facility rules.
- GPS Home Monitoring
- A supervision option using GPS tracking, drug screening, and appointments with a counselor or probation officer.
- Electronic Home Detention
- A Washington County Jail program for electronic home supervision, separate from ordinary WCCCC residency.
WCCCC Drop-Off Limits
The research materials do not document a WCCCC commissary fee schedule or resident-account deposit vendor like the jail's Access Corrections process. They do document strict drop-off limits, especially during the first seven days. Because no money or correspondence is allowed in the initial drop-off, family members should avoid treating the first visit window like a jail account deposit or mail handoff. After the blackout period, the resident may receive one one-hour visit and one drop-off on the designated day, but the facility's current instructions should be confirmed before arriving.
| Item or Action | Documented WCCCC Rule |
|---|---|
| First seven days | One initial drop-off only. |
| Money during initial drop-off | Not allowed. |
| Correspondence during initial drop-off | Not allowed. |
| Identification | Drop-off party checks in and shows valid ID. |
| Age rule | Drop-off party must be 18 or accompanied by an adult. |
WCCCC Resident Intake
WCCCC intake is different from street-arrest booking at the jail. Washington County Jail booking includes search, property inventory, photo, fingerprints, charge entry, a booking interview, medical intake, and release or lodging review. WCCCC residents are already moving through a community-corrections setting tied to sentences, sanctions, employment, treatment, or transition. The first-week drop-off rule shows that WCCCC manages resident adjustment and security through a blackout period before regular visits and drop-offs begin.
Residents in work release must follow the rules set by counselors and program staff. Employment is not merely self-reported. Counselors verify job schedules, review pay stubs, and maintain employer contact about attendance and performance. GPS Home Monitoring adds drug screening and appointments with a counselor or probation officer. Eligibility depends on the person's history of following Community Corrections Center rules and agreement to comply with court conditions and custodial release agreements.
About Washington County WCCCC
WCCCC is one of two local Washington County custody facilities identified in the facility map. The jail holds the pretrial and short-sentence population, while WCCCC holds sentenced or supervised residents in a structured community-corrections environment. County population materials list 215 WCCCC beds and 572 jail beds. The county's broader facility planning has included both the jail and Community Corrections Center in capacity study work, and the 2025 Corrections Grand Jury report reviewed the Community Corrections Center as part of its correctional-facility tour.
The distinction between WCCCC and jail custody also affects search strategy. A person who has not yet been sentenced or assigned to community corrections is more likely to appear through the jail custody roster. A person in work release or alternative sanctions may have program details that are not public roster fields. For state prison custody, use ODOC or VISOR. For federal or immigration custody, use federal or ICE channels instead of assuming either local Washington County facility has the current record.
Note: Verify resident status and drop-off rules with WCCCC before bringing property, correspondence, or visitors.
