What are the ‘Oregon Jail Standards’?
Jails in Oregon follow voluntary standards that are maintained by the Oregon State Sheriffs’ Association. The standards are applied on top of state and federal policies regarding county jails. But unlike state, county or sheriff office policies, these are created and maintained by a nonprofit organization — one that says the standards, which were first copyrighted in 1999, are also a "trade secret" under ?state law.
 
What and Where are the "Oregon Jail Standards?"

When someone asks for "Oregon Jail Standards" they could be referring to two, or more, separate things, but they are usually referring to one or both of these:
 
1) The first is in ORS 160.076, which are the jail standards that were first enacted in the early 1970s, and that lay out the statutory minimum requirements that jails must adhere to.
2) Second are the voluntary standards promulgated by the Oregon State Sheriff’s Association (OSSA), and followed by every jail in Oregon. They are not available on the OSSA website. They are copyrighted. OSSA is not a government agency and is not required to comply with public records laws.
 
Some citations to Oregon "jail" law follow.:
 
• OAR: 291-117-0005 (through 0140): Personal Property (Inmate)
• OAR: 133.455: Receipts for property taken from person in custody; penalty
• ORS 169.076: Standards for local correctional facilities
• ORS 169.090: Manual of guidelines for local correctional facility operation; guidelines for juvenile detention facility operation
• See also: Oregon Jail Inspections (Department of Corrections)
• Oregon Jail Standards Property of the Nonprofit Oregon State Sheriffs’ Association
• Making the Standards Public Would Destroy Their Value
