Find Wasco County Inmates

Wasco County Jail Roster

Wasco County uses Northern Oregon Regional Corrections, known as NORCOR, rather than a Wasco-only county jail. NORCOR operates adult corrections and juvenile detention for Wasco, Hood River, Sherman, and Gilliam counties. That regional model matters because a person listed through NORCOR may be tied to any of the member counties, and a Wasco County court case may not be the only reason for custody.

The official Adult Corrections page links to an Adults in Custody route, and the bail page confirms that an adult in custody's security amount may be found there or by calling NORCOR. The direct roster endpoint returned an internal error during research, so the phone fallback is important. Call NORCOR Adult Corrections at 541-298-1576 for current custody and bail questions when the online route fails.

The NORCOR home page is the first official source for the regional corrections system serving Wasco County.

It confirms that custody searches should account for the four-county regional jail structure rather than a single-county Wasco jail.

Search Wasco County Inmates

The Wasco County inmate lookup path is a set of channels, not one guaranteed database. Start with NORCOR for current adult custody, then use VISOR for Oregon custody or supervision status, and Oregon DOC Offender Search for state prison or DOC-supervised records. For official or certified offender records, Oregon DOC points users to a public records request rather than the public search page.

1. Check the NORCOR Adults in Custody route from the Adult Corrections site, if the roster is available.
2. Call NORCOR at 541-298-1576 when the roster is unavailable or when bail/security information must be confirmed.
3. Search VISOR by full name, partial name, SID, or County ID when the person may be in Oregon custody or under supervision.
4. Search Oregon DOC Offender Search by complete or partial name, using an asterisk wildcard if needed.
5. Use Wasco Circuit Court records for filed criminal case status, and sheriff written requests for law-enforcement records.

Wasco County Jail Facilities

NORCOR publishes separate adult and juvenile facility contacts. Adult custody questions, bail, visitation, mail, phones, money, and property rules start with Adult Corrections. Juvenile detention has a separate address and phone line. Wasco County Sheriff Lane Magill is listed on the NORCOR Sheriff Oversight Committee, but NORCOR is the direct custody facility contact.

The NORCOR Adult Corrections page lists the adult facility address and regional oversight details.

Use that page for the jail location and general adult corrections contact before relying on third-party custody listings.

Wasco County Inmate Record Fields

The NORCOR public roster fields were not fully captured because the direct Adults in Custody endpoint returned an error during browser inspection. The official research supports only a limited field inventory. The bail page indicates that a security or bail amount may be shown, and NORCOR mail rules use adult-in-custody terminology plus an AIC file number. Do not assume a mugshot, housing unit, booking date, projected release date, or charge table unless the live roster confirms it.

Note: Booking facts and filed charges are not the same as a final Wasco County criminal court disposition.

Wasco County Inmate Visitation

NORCOR uses Telmate tablet video visitation. Local visits use video tablets in the NORCOR Administration lobby, while remote visits can be scheduled from a home computer or Android device through GettingOut. Visitors need a Telmate login, and the adult in custody must confirm visits for them to occur. Free minutes require the visitor to choose that the adult in custody pays so the free time can apply.

The NORCOR visitation page is the official source for video visitation schedules and rules.

Those rules control lobby timing, remote visit setup, refunds, minor visits, monitoring, and attorney access.

Wasco County Inmate Mail

NORCOR personal mail is digital through TextBehind. The personal mail format is NORCOR, Oregon, the AIC full name and AIC file number, PO Box 247, Phoenix, MD 21131. Sender first and last name plus return address are required. The file number on the envelope must match the file number in the review queue. Direct facility mail at 201 Webber Street is limited to legal or confidential mail, approved periodicals, pamphlets, newspapers, and publisher-direct paperback books or magazines under NORCOR rules.

The NORCOR in-custody mail page explains TextBehind addressing and banned mail items.

Mail rules are strict because incoming mail is opened and inspected, and contraband can create criminal exposure under Oregon law.

Wasco County Inmate Money Phone

Deposits can be made online at gettingout.com, by phone with ViaPath or Telmate at 1-866-516-0115, by money order through mail, or at the NORCOR lobby kiosk. Deposits may be for commissary or trust, prepaid communication, or bail. Bail cannot be deposited online or through the app. Bail is handled by a ViaPath representative by phone or at the lobby kiosk. Regular commissary order deadlines are Sunday at 10:30 p.m. for Tuesday delivery and Wednesday at 10:30 p.m. for Friday delivery.

The NORCOR money and property page covers deposits, commissary, care packages, and property release.

That page is the best custody support source when the question is money, property pickup, commissary, or care packages rather than case status.

AIC telephones operate 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. daily unless disabled for safety or behavior reasons. Calls are collect through Telmate, and phones cannot receive incoming calls. Messages can be left through Telmate at 866-516-0115. Legal counsel calls are not recorded or monitored, but other calls may be monitored or recorded.

The NORCOR phone use page provides the phone schedule and monitoring rules.

Phone rules help families separate communication setup from court dates, bail questions, and official records requests.

Wasco County Inmate Record Requests

The Wasco County Sheriff's Office handles law-enforcement records requests, not NORCOR inmate communication accounts or Circuit Court criminal case files. Written public records requests must be submitted to the Sheriff's Records Division by email, fax, hand delivery, or mail. Questions go to the Records Division at 541-506-2580. The sheriff's office address is 511 Washington St., Ste. 101, The Dalles, OR 97058, while records delivery instructions use 511 Washington Street, Suite 102.

Wasco County inmate records may therefore require more than one office. NORCOR answers current custody and bail questions. The Circuit Court records office handles filed criminal case records and docket events. The Sheriff's Office handles law-enforcement public records. VISOR and Oregon DOC cover statewide custody or supervision status.

The sheriff's office also has county law enforcement duties that can touch a custody search, including patrol, criminal investigations, civil process, records, 911 communications, community corrections, and emergency management. Those duties do not make the sheriff's page a live jail roster, but they explain why arrest reports and incident records may be held outside NORCOR. Active investigations, juvenile matters, sealed records, protected personal data, and records held by another agency may be withheld, redacted, or routed to the correct custodian.
