Overview
Check Oregon State Penitentiary custody and booking information using Oregon's statewide Oregon Offender Search or local county roster tools. These pages typically show name, basic booking details, and status updates—but they're not certified records. Want automatic notifications about custody changes? Register for a state notification service like VISOR or a national alert system. For official documentation, use the state's records request process to get a certified offender record. Search by the person's name or, when available, an offender ID for faster results. Keep in mind that online rosters update frequently and may show arrests or charges that aren't final convictions.

Common Questions
How do I search for an inmate at Oregon State Penitentiary?
Use Oregon’s statewide Oregon Offender Search, a county jail web viewer, or a notification service—pick the one that matches what you’re trying to confirm. Search by full name, and use an offender/inmate ID if you have it for quicker, more accurate results. If you need certified documents, submit a records request through the state process.
Can I get alerts when an inmate’s custody status changes?
Yes. You can register for state notification services (such as VISOR) or national alert systems to get automatic status updates. When you sign up, you’ll typically provide contact information and choose how you want to receive alerts.
Are charges listed on offender search pages the same as convictions?
No—charges shown on public offender search pages are often arrests or filed charges and may not match the final outcome of a case. These rosters also update frequently, so release dates or dispositions can change quickly.
