Jail
The Morrow County Sheriff’s Office does not have its own correctional facility; therefore, a contract is currently in place with the Umatilla County Jail in Pendleton. The current contract allows the Sheriff’s Office to rent 600 jail beds each month (20 per day) for persons that are arrested and need to be lodged for their crimes.
Sheriff’s deputies arrest and lodge persons on a number of serious crimes. This can lead to these persons spending long periods of time in the Umatilla County Jail while awaiting or attending court appearances and/or trials. Some of these crimes include: sexual assaults, felony assaults, as well as various weapons and narcotics crimes. Prisoners can sometimes spend more than a year in jail while the courts and attorneys work out legal issues.
The communications sergeant tracks all Morrow County prisoners including their court appearances, mental health and medical appointments and any transports requested by the District Attorney, defense lawyers or judge. The communications sergeant also handles prisoner billing and prisoner medical billing budget for each fiscal cycle.
When prisoners are sentenced to the Department of Corrections, they are transferred to the Coffee Creek Correctional Facility intake center, where they are then processed and transferred again to the correctional facility where they will finish serving their sentence.
Sergeant Sarah Baker is available by calling 541-676-5317 for questions regarding Morrow County prisoners.
Additional information is available by contacting the Umatilla County Jail directly at 541-966-3632.
