Gilliam County Inmate Records
Gilliam County released inmates records are managed through a shared jail system in northern Oregon. The county does not run its own jail. Instead, Gilliam County is part of the NORCOR consortium, which houses inmates from four counties at one site in The Dalles. You can search for released inmates from Gilliam County through the NORCOR roster or by calling the Sheriff's Office in Condon. These records include booking data, charges, and release dates for all inmates held on Gilliam County charges.
Gilliam County Sheriff and Released Inmates
Sheriff Gary Bettencourt leads the Gilliam County Sheriff's Office. The office is at 221 S Oregon St in Condon, OR 97823. You can call (541) 384-2851 for help. Gilliam County is one of the least populated counties in Oregon. Because of its small size, the county does not have its own jail. Instead, inmates from Gilliam County are sent to the Northern Oregon Regional Correctional Facility, known as NORCOR.
NORCOR sits at 201 Webber Road in The Dalles, OR 97058. Commander Joyce Orendorf runs the day-to-day work at the site. The jail phone is (541) 298-1576. When a person is arrested in Gilliam County, they are booked at NORCOR. The booking record shows their name, charges, and the date they went in. When the inmate is released, that date is added to the file. Under ORS 192.311, these booking records are public records. This means anyone can ask to see them, with some limits set by law.
The Gilliam County Sheriff's Office can direct you to the right source for released inmates data. Since the jail is run by NORCOR, the roster is kept at that site. You can search the NORCOR inmate roster to find current and past inmates. Enter the person's first and last name to start your search. You can also use a booking number or date of birth for more specific results.
Searching for Released Inmates from Gilliam County
The Gilliam County Sheriff's Office website provides details about their law enforcement operations and the NORCOR partnership.
This page links to tools that help you find released inmates and booking records for Gilliam County.
Beyond the NORCOR roster, the Oregon Offender Search tool covers inmates who served time in state prison. If a Gilliam County case led to a state term, you can find the record here. The tool is free and open all day. You can look up a person by name or by their State ID number. It shows the charge, current status, and release date. This is one of the best ways to track released inmates who left state custody after a Gilliam County conviction.
You can also use VISOR to get alerts about an inmate's status. VISOR is a free service run by the Oregon Department of Corrections. It sends you a notice when an inmate is released from a county jail or state prison. The system checks county jails every 15 minutes. For Gilliam County inmates held at NORCOR, VISOR will alert you when their status changes.
Note: NORCOR serves four counties, so the roster may show inmates from other areas mixed in with Gilliam County records.
