Detention
The mission of the Linn-Benton Detention Center is to provide a safe, secure and stable environment for detained juveniles.
The Linn-Benton Detention Center
The Linn-Benton Detention Center was officially opened on December 15, 1997. It has a total capacity of 20 youth and serves two neighboring communities, Linn and Benton Counties.
The Linn-Benton Detention Center is located within the Oregon Youth Authority's Oak Creek facility and is operated by Linn County Juvenile Department. Although located in a state building, the detention center is county funded. It is a unique relationship based on partnership and a community need for protection and safety.
Detention is committed to using a holistic approach in assessing physical health, mental health, alcohol and drug issues, social competencies and education. We promote cultural awareness, respect, education and appropriate social skills to the youth in our care.
Detention is a supportive, consistent team of professionals working toward common goals and objectives. We maintain high standards for staff and provide opportunities for growth and development.
Detention staff are committed to providing good, supportive and appropriate customer service to all individuals and agencies involved with the center and the services it provides.
