Jail

The Sheriff’s Office Jail Division overview will help you find information about all the jail services offered to our community and adults in custody.

Adults in custody who have expressed suicide or self-harm

Help us keep your friends or loved ones safe. If an adult in custody shares thoughts of suicide or self-injury, immediately notify any deputy or jail staff member at 503-846-6374.

Washington County’s only jail, located in Hillsboro, houses people awaiting trial or serving a sentence less than 365 days. Our jail staff works around the clock to keep the jail safe and secure for visitors, staff, and adults in custody.

On this page, find information about visiting or contacting those in custody, posting bail, depositing money for adults in custody, education and work programs for people in jail, and more.
