Gilliam County Jail Records

Gilliam County is one of the smallest counties in Oregon with a population of about 2,000 people. The county seat is Condon. The Gilliam County Sheriff's Office handles law enforcement and manages the county's jail roster. Because of its small size, Gilliam County contracts with NORCOR for some detention services. You can search the jail roster by contacting the sheriff's office or checking NORCOR records. This page covers how to access Gilliam County jail roster data, find inmates, and understand your rights under Oregon public records law.

Gilliam County Sheriff's Office

The Gilliam County Sheriff's Office is located at 221 S. Oregon Street in Condon, Oregon 97823. The phone number is (541) 384-2080. The sheriff handles all law enforcement duties in the county. This includes arrests, booking, and keeping the jail roster.

Gilliam County has a small jail in Condon. It holds only a few inmates at a time. Because the county is so small, it does not need a large facility. For longer stays or higher security needs, Gilliam County sends inmates to NORCOR. This is a regional jail that serves several small counties in northern Oregon. The sheriff's office can tell you where a specific inmate is being held, whether at the local jail in Condon or at the NORCOR facility.

The Gilliam County website provides general information about county services. Visit the Gilliam County homepage for contact details and links to county departments.

NORCOR and Gilliam County Jail Roster

NORCOR stands for Northern Oregon Regional Correctional Facilities. It is a shared jail that serves Gilliam County along with other small counties in the region. When someone is arrested in Gilliam County and needs to be held for more than a short time, they may be sent to NORCOR.

The NORCOR website provides information about the facility and its services. NORCOR handles bookings, inmate housing, and records for inmates from multiple counties. If you are looking for someone on the Gilliam County jail roster who is not at the local jail in Condon, they may be at NORCOR. Contact the sheriff at (541) 384-2080 to find out where an inmate is held.

Searching Gilliam County Inmate Records

To search the Gilliam County jail roster, call the sheriff's office at (541) 384-2080. Give them the name of the person you want to find. Staff will check the local jail in Condon and can also check with NORCOR. They will tell you if the person is in custody and where they are being held.

Because Gilliam County is so small, it does not have a large online inmate search system like bigger counties. Most inquiries go through the phone. The sheriff's office is the best point of contact for all jail roster questions. If the inmate is at NORCOR, the facility may have its own process for inmate inquiries. You can visit the NORCOR website or call them directly for details.

Exemptions exist under ORS 192.345(3) for records that could interfere with law enforcement. This rarely affects the basic jail roster. Names, charges, and booking dates are public. Gilliam County follows the same rules as every other county. HB 3273 further guides how agencies respond to records requests in Oregon, including setting standards for fees and timelines.
