Correctional Facilities Community Inspection Program - 2024 Archive

Information and volunteer reports resulting from the 2024 Correctional Facilities Community Inspection Program.

2024 Project Summary

In November 2022, Multnomah County voters approved Measure 26-233. The County Charter now states the County will use an application process to identify at least one volunteer member of the public to accompany the Board every calendar year, with preference for individuals who live in, work in or have demonstrated connections to Multnomah County. Volunteers should be independent of the County Auditor and the facilities they inspect, and given reasonable stipends and administrative support. The additional inspections — within reasonable measures for safety and security — provide access for the County commissioners and volunteer(s) to the facilities. After the inspection, volunteers issue public reports with findings and recommendations.

Volunteer reports of findings and recommendations were released on Dec. 27, 2024.
