Setting up a legal call at Deer Ridge? Plan ahead. The institution library can't accommodate same-day requests, and Wufoo submissions after 1pm may not result in a call being scheduled for the next business day. Legal calls are scheduled Monday through Friday during the library's posted hours—library staff handle all scheduling while open. For visits, the process is changing: beginning Dec. 1, 2025, all visits must be pre-scheduled through the IC Solutions Corrections website. Run into account or scheduling problems? Contact IC Solutions Corrections support directly. Expect to set up and verify your vendor account, and know that facility rules and monitoring apply.
Read full guideSending money to someone at Deer Ridge Correctional Institution runs through Oregon DOC's contracted services: JPay, ICS Corrections (which uses Access Corrections for trust deposits), and Telmate. Before you pay, make sure you're funding the right account. Adults in custody typically have separate balances for communication (phone/messaging) and commissary/trust purchases, and accepted payment channels vary by facility. Most people add funds through approved third-party vendor websites or phone systems. Some facilities also offer lobby kiosks. If mail deposits are allowed, they usually require a money order or cashier's check—not cash. Need deposit details or AIC Trust Account information? Request records from Central Trust under OAR 291-158.
Read full guideFor mail related to visits, Deer Ridge Correctional Institution Visitor Services uses a Salem mailing address: 3723 Fairview Industrial Drive SE STE 200, Salem, OR 97302-4975. Plan ahead for scheduling—some visit types require advance booking. BASIC visits in controlled units must be requested electronically or by phone at least 72 hours before your visit. Voicemails don't count as scheduled requests. Having trouble with the scheduling system? ICS Corrections offers phone support. On the day of your visit, don't wear blue. AICs wear blue, and matching that color can get you turned away at security. Contact methods change, so check Deer Ridge's page or ODOC visitor information for current instructions.
