The Multnomah County Sheriff's Office is committed to ensuring its correctional facilities maintain the highest standard of care and custody for the adults held in our custody. Earlier this year, MCSO underwent a comprehensive audit to determine its compliance with the Prison Rape Elimination Act.
This multi-day audit included policy reviews, tours of each facility, and interviews of staff and adults in custody. The exemplary work of staff in the Corrections Division was highlighted in the independent report written by the PREA Auditor.
Preparation for this audit has been ongoing and has brought changes in policy, training, and procedures that meets best practices in the field of corrections. MCSO is one of the first county jail systems to achieve compliance in Oregon with the 50 standards required by Department of Justice to become PREA compliant.
MCSO prides itself on being a leader in the corrections industry, and is proud of the work accomplished to meet this federal standard.
