Union County Correctional Facility Inmate Search

Union County Correctional Facility Overview

Union County Correctional Facility, often shortened to UCCF, is operated by the Union County Sheriff's Office at 1109 K Avenue in La Grande. For Wallowa County users, the important point is jurisdictional: Wallowa County Sheriff's Office remains the local arrest, dispatch, incident, and warrant-check agency, while Union County Correctional Facility is the practical jail custody location when a Wallowa County arrestee is housed through the Union/Wallowa custody path. Sheriff Ryan Moody's Wallowa County office is based at the Wallowa County Justice Center in Enterprise, but the reviewed Wallowa County pages did not publish a public Wallowa jail roster.

The official Union County corrections page says the facility opened in 1979, houses a maximum of 37 inmates, and averages about 1,200 bookings each year. Its public corrections materials include roster access, bail, inmate commissary, inmate mail, visitation, victim notification, and public-records directions. The inspected Union County roster PDF, printed June 25, 2026, listed 30 total records and included Wallowa County arrest-agency entries, so a Wallowa County case may appear there even though the jail is physically in La Grande.

The Union County Sheriff's Office corrections page is the source for the facility's capacity, booking average, jail phone, and corrections service links.

Those figures describe the Union County facility as a serving regional jail for this custody workflow, not as a Wallowa County-owned jail or an Oregon Department of Corrections prison.

Union County Correctional Facility Capacity and Population

The documented facility capacity is 37 inmates, from the Union County Sheriff's Office corrections page inspected in 2026. The same official page reports an average of 1,200 bookings per year. The roster count is different from annual bookings: the current roster PDF inspected during research was printed June 25, 2026 and listed 30 total records. That roster count is a point-in-time public PDF count, not an average daily population and not a Wallowa-only inmate count.

Because the roster includes Union County, Wallowa County, La Grande Police Department, Oregon State Police, Parole and Probation, Transport, and other arrest-agency entries, it should not be used as a Wallowa County incarceration rate. It is best read as a current jail custody list for people held at Union County Correctional Facility, including some Wallowa County arrestees when they are lodged there.

Lookup at Union County Correctional Facility

The official roster process starts at the Union County Sheriff's Office jail roster landing page. That page presents a disclaimer and then sends the user to the current roster PDF. The PDF is not an interactive database, so the useful search step is using browser or PDF find for the person's last name. The roster columns documented in the inspected PDF were inmate number, date, arrest agency, charges, and bonds. It did not show mugshots, housing unit, date of birth, or court dates in the inspected version.

The acknowledgement page matters because the public roster is a PDF report, and the jail phone remains the confirmation route when a name does not appear or the PDF is unclear.

1. Open the Union County Sheriff's Office jail roster page and read the disclaimer before opening the roster PDF.
2. Use the PDF search or browser find tool for the person's last name, checking spelling and common name variations.
3. Review the arrest agency column. Wallowa County arrestees are not separated into a Wallowa-only roster, but Wallowa County can appear as the arrest agency.
4. Save the inmate number if bail, records, or follow-up contact is needed. Union County's bail instructions tell users to get the inmate file number from the current roster first.
5. If the person is not listed, call Union County jail at 541-963-1020 for jail custody questions and Wallowa County Sheriff at 541-426-3131 ext. 0 for local warrant or incident questions.

For a broader explanation of the Wallowa County arrest-to-roster path, see the local jail inmate records workflow. If a person has already been sentenced to Oregon state prison, use Oregon VISOR or ODOC Offender Search instead of the Union County jail roster. No Oregon state prison, Federal Bureau of Prisons facility, or ICE detention facility was identified inside Wallowa County in the reviewed official sources.

Union County Correctional Facility Address and Contact

Call the jail information line for custody, roster, bail, and visitation questions tied to someone housed at Union County Correctional Facility. Union County's corrections page specifically separates the jail phone from the general sheriff phone, and Wallowa County's sheriff channel remains separate for Wallowa incidents, dispatch, and warrant verification.

Visiting Someone at Union County Correctional Facility

In-person visits are non-contact and require a prior appointment. Union County instructs visitors to call 541-963-1020 between 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. on the day of the visit; Saturday visits may be scheduled on Friday. Appointments are not scheduled before 9:00 a.m., and holidays follow the same appointment process when the holiday falls on a regular visitation day. Visitors should bring identification, control minors, follow dress rules, and leave personal items other than car keys and identification outside the secure area unless staff direct otherwise.

The Union County visitation page publishes the in-person schedule, video visitation blocks, and visitor rules.

The schedule is specific enough that Wallowa County visitors traveling from Enterprise, Joseph, Lostine, or Wallowa should confirm the appointment before making the drive to La Grande.

Video Visitation

Video visitation uses secure.visitel.us and requires jail approval. Requests that are approved appear on the inmate visitation calendar or visitation screen. Video visits are listed as 30-minute slots. Inmates in segregation or disciplinary status cannot schedule video visits, and video sessions can be denied or terminated for inappropriate clothing, nudity, sexual conduct, weapons, drugs, alcohol, unlawful activity, or operating a vehicle while visiting.

Mail, Money, Commissary, and Bail

Union County publishes separate pages for inmate mail, commissary deposits, and bail. Mail must include a return address with at least first initial, last name, street or PO Box, city, state, and zip code. The inmate mailing format is the inmate's name, care of Union County Correctional Facility, 1109 K Ave., La Grande, Oregon 97850. Paperback books must come directly from a publisher or retailer. Plain white unopened socks, underwear, and T-shirts can be accepted under the posted clothing rules. Music cards, glitter, ribbons, perfumes, lipstick, stickers, crayon, permanent marker, colored-pencil letters, newspaper articles, stamps, and extra envelopes are refused.

The Union County commissary page documents JailATM, the weekly deposit limit, lobby kiosk, and counter restrictions.

Those rules affect families posting money from Wallowa County because corrections staff cannot take cash or money orders over the counter for delivery to an inmate.

Jail Records and Booking Photo Requests

Union County Sheriff's Office says its public-records process can cover case reports, photographs associated with a case, and jail records. Requests may be submitted through the records form and routed by email, mail, or delivery to the Sheriff's Office at 1109 K Avenue, La Grande, OR 97850. The records specialist contact listed in the research is 541-963-1017 ext. 222 and UCSORecords@union-county.org. Wallowa County also has a separate county-records policy for Wallowa County records submitted through the county clerk, so the correct records office depends on whether the record is a Wallowa incident record, Union jail record, court record, or state custody record.

The Union County public records page lists jail records, photographs, request channels, and records fees.

The request process is the better route for records that are not visible on the public roster PDF, including booking photographs when releasable under Oregon law.

Booking and Intake at Union County Correctional Facility

A Wallowa County arrest does not mean a person is booked into a Wallowa County-owned public jail roster. The local arrest or warrant event may begin with Wallowa County Sheriff, Enterprise Police, Joseph Police, Oregon State Police, or another agency. If the person is lodged at Union County Correctional Facility, the public custody record appears through Union County's roster process. The inspected roster listed arrest agency and charges, which helps separate Wallowa County arrests from Union County, La Grande, state police, transport, or out-of-county entries.

Booking data on the PDF should be treated as jail-status information, not the final court record. Charges may be amended, reduced, dismissed, or formally filed later by the Wallowa County District Attorney when the case belongs in Wallowa County. Court records then move through Wallowa County Circuit Court and Oregon Judicial Department systems, while state prison transfers move to VISOR or ODOC search after sentencing.

When Union Roster Is Wrong

Use the Union County roster for current local jail custody at Union County Correctional Facility. Use Wallowa County Sheriff's Office at 541-426-3131 ext. 0 for 24/7 warrant checks or local incident questions. Use Oregon VISOR or Oregon Offender Search when a person has moved into state prison custody or state supervision. Use the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator for sentenced federal inmates from 1982 to present, and use ICE Online Detainee Locator System for adults in ICE custody or people in CBP custody more than 48 hours. The reviewed official sources did not identify a state prison, BOP prison, ICE detention facility, or separate municipal jail physically inside Wallowa County.

The facility relationship is summarized on the Wallowa County inmate population hub: Wallowa County supplies local law-enforcement and court context, while Union County supplies the public jail roster and jail-service pages when the person is held in La Grande.

About Union County Correctional Facility

The Union County facility's documented sentencing program is Work Crew. Union County describes Work Crew as an alternative sentence generally used in lieu of jail time. Duties can include trash pickup, stacking firewood, shoveling snow, fence work, and brush clearing. The work crew operates Sunday through Wednesday, meets on the L Street side of the jail near the white van, and requires participants to bring lunch and weather-appropriate clothing. The listed fee is $15 per day unless the person is sentenced to work crew by Union County Community Corrections. Noncompletion is returned to the courts and can result in a warrant.

For Wallowa County context, Wallowa County Community Corrections separately describes supervision, work crew alternatives, and treatment court work for people involved in the local criminal justice system. Those programs are not the same as being housed in Union County Correctional Facility, but they can matter after release, sentencing, or a supervision violation. Medical or mental-health needs for a person inside the jail should be communicated through official jail staff processes; the reviewed public pages did not publish a detailed public sick-call procedure.
