The mission of the Oregon Department of Corrections (DOC) is to protect communities, promote accountability, and transform lives. The Oregon Department of Corrections is committed to protecting public safety, holding individuals accountable, and instilling personal responsibility—both for their past actions and their conduct while in custody. Through a range of programs and services, DOC also provides opportunities for rehabilitation and personal growth, ultimately supporting successful reintegration into society. DOC manages approximately 12,000 adults in custody across 12 state prisons, housing individuals sentenced to more than 12 months. Nationally recognized among correctional agencies, DOC equips individuals with cognitive, educational, and job skills to help them become productive members of their communities upon release. The department offers a wide variety of career opportunities for those seeking meaningful and challenging work. Most positions are permanent, full-time roles within one of our institutions across the state. A career with DOC provides professional growth, advancement opportunities, and the chance to be part of a dedicated team making a difference in public safety and rehabilitation.
