Union County Correctional Facility Overview
Union County Correctional Facility, also called UCCF, is operated by the Union County Sheriff's Office. It is the only local detention facility identified for Union County in the research file. The jail holds people booked from the Union County Sheriff's Office, La Grande Police Department, Oregon State Police, Union County Community Corrections, and other sources when accepted for lodging or transport.
The sheriff's corrections page says UCCF opened in 1979 and houses a maximum of 37 inmates. The facility is a county jail, not a state prison. It is used for local pretrial custody, local sentenced jail terms, parole or probation holds, warrant arrests, and accepted outside-agency lodgings. The roster printed June 25, 2026 showed 30 records and included Wallowa County, out-of-county, transport, and parole and probation entries.
Union County Facility Population
Union County Correctional Facility has strong local population context from official sheriff sources. The maximum capacity is 37 inmates. The current roster PDF inspected in the research was printed June 25, 2026 and showed 30 total records. That means the public roster count was about 81 percent of the stated maximum on that date. The sheriff also reports about 1,200 annual bookings, which counts booking events rather than unique people.
The sheriff's corrections page screenshot in the project image set captures the facility facts used for capacity, bookings, work crew, and jail phone routing.
The screenshot is facility-specific and supports the local UCCF capacity and booking context instead of a generic county jail description.
Lookup Union County Facility Inmates
The correct lookup for Union County Correctional Facility is the sheriff's PDF roster, not Oregon VISOR and not a federal locator. VISOR becomes relevant after a person moves into Oregon prison custody or supervision. BOP and ICE apply only to federal prison or immigration detention. For UCCF, start with the sheriff's jail roster page.
- Open the sheriff's jail roster landing page.
- Read the disclaimer and open the current roster PDF.
- Use PDF find for the person's name, or scroll through the printed list.
- Read the inmate number, arrest date, arrest agency, charges, and bond field.
- Call 541-963-1020 for custody, bond, visit, or unclear hold questions.
The PDF roster is a current-jail record. It does not show mugshots, housing units, demographics, court dates, or a clickable profile. Fuller jail records use the sheriff's public records process.

Bail at Union County Facility
Union County's bail page directs payers to cash or card. Card and phone payments use GovPayNow with PLC Code 7855 or the phone payment number 888-604-7888. The payer should get the inmate file number from the current roster before starting payment. The bond field can include 10 percent, no bail, judge-set terms, see-first-charge text, or detainers, so the jail line should be used before payment when the entry is not clear.
Checks are not accepted for bail unless approved by the Sheriff or Jail Manager. After bail is paid, the money is sent to the courts for processing. When the case ends, the courts return bail money to the payer minus court administrative fees and any fines or fees assessed by the court. The sheriff cannot return the money to a different person and cannot return it simply because charges are later dropped.
Union County Work Crew
UCCF publishes one local sentencing program: Work Crew. The sheriff describes it as an alternative sentence usually ordered in lieu of jail time. Participants may pick up trash, stack firewood, shovel snow, build or tear down fences, and clear brush from roadways. Work crew runs Sunday through Wednesday, and participants meet on the L Street side of the jail near the white van.
The fee is $15 per day unless the person is sentenced by Union County Community Corrections. Participants bring lunch and weather-suitable clothing. The sheriff warns that failure to complete ordered work crew days within the allotted time can lead to return to court and an arrest warrant.
Union County Facility Records
Records not shown on the current roster can be requested through the sheriff's public records page. The form allows requests for reports, photograph CDs, and jail records. Oregon public records law allows inspection of public records unless an exemption applies, and the sheriff's FAQ notes that active investigations, privacy, medical information, child abuse records, law-enforcement techniques, and court-restricted material may be redacted or withheld.
Note: Confirm custody, visiting status, and bond conditions with UCCF before traveling or sending funds.
