The Union County Correctional Facility (UCCF) was opened in 1979 and houses a maximum of 37 inmates. Each year the facility averages 1,200 bookings with prisoners coming from the Union County Sheriff’s Office, La Grande Police Department, Oregon State Police and Union County Community Corrections.
UCCF also has a single sentencing program: Work Crew.
The Work Crew Program is an alternative sentence that is included in a person’s sentence order from the court and is usually in lieu of jail time. The work crew does various jobs including picking up trash, stacking firewood, shoveling snow, building or tearing down fences or clearing brush from roadways.
The Work Crew goes out Sunday-Wednesday. Participants meet on the “L” Street side of the jail near the white van. The fee for work crew is $15 a day. There is no fee for people sentenced to work crew by Union County Community Corrections. Those on work crew must bring their lunch and provide their clothing suitable for the weather conditions.
People who do not complete their work crew days in the allotted time will be turned back to the courts and a warrant will be issued for their arrest.
