Washington County Jail, OR

Visiting Washington County Jail starts with the Washington County Sheriff's Office / Law Enforcement Center, which lists a street address and office hours for in-person contact. Like most Oregon facilities, you'll need to be added to an approved visitor list and cleared before scheduling a visit. Submitting an application doesn't guarantee approval. Expect security screening at check-in, and assume your visit will be monitored. Visits can be canceled or ended early for safety or staffing reasons, and breaking visiting rules can lead to suspended privileges. If the person you're visiting is in special housing or a disciplinary unit, visits often follow different procedures, such as non-contact visits behind glass. Many facilities also offer lobby tablets or third-party video options for onsite or remote visits, so confirm what's available before you go.

To reach Washington County Jail, start with official sources. The Washington County Sheriff's Office Volunteer Application page publishes the mailing and physical address, plus phone and email contact information. The inmate roster header shows the jail location and a main phone number. A separate facility page directs arrest or detention inquiries to 651-430-7900. For day-to-day communication with someone in custody, most facilities offer phone calls, video visits, and electronic messaging, though the exact options vary by facility and are often handled through third-party vendors. Expect account setup and verification steps, monitoring, and specific rules that can affect call and video access.
