OSCI typically houses younger inmates, including those who began their sentence in a youth facility.[1] Inmates at OSCI have opportunities working in its print shop and mail room, and provide telephone services for the Oregon Health Plan.[1][2] Inmates have access to education programs, drug and alcohol treatment, and mental health treatment.[2] In recent years, OSCI has designated 500 of its beds for transitional release inmates (those who are within six months of release from prison) with focused efforts on preparing them for release to the community.[1]
