Some Statistics About Hillcrest…
• Established in 1913• In 1913, the Oregon Legislature
appropriated $25,000 to purchase land and erect a building for the state's first correctional facility for girls.

The Role of Institutions• OYA's mission is to protect the
public by holding youth offenders accountable and providing opportunities for reformation.
• OYA facilities serve offenders age 12-25 who have committed crimes prior to their 18th birthday
• Secure youth corrections facilities provide high security, intensive accountability, and treatment designed to meet the individual needs of youth, while protecting the public.
• The Oregon Youth Authority's facility system was developed to provide both secure and transitional environments that ensure public safety while holding youth accountable and providing opportunities for reformation.
• To achieve this, we:
• Hold youth offenders accountable;
• Emphasize public safety;
• Provide certain, consistent sanctions for youth offenders;
• Support the concerns of crime victims;
• Provide comprehensive youth reformation programs;
• Promote and support juvenile crime prevention activities;
• Encourage family involvement and responsibility; and
• Select, train, support, and empower a competent and diverse work force.

The Role of Staff• Supervision, ensuring the living unit
meets all facility safety and security needs (line movements, activities, counseling & coaching of youth)
• Maintain continual, direct visual supervision of youth offenders (school, medical clinic, recreation, groups, visiting & meals)
• Conducts verbal interventions w/youth offenders (provide certain & consistent sanctions for non-compliant behavior)
• Good judgment and professional demeanor, supervising youth (including good communication)
• Maintain all security procedures (including locking doors, security of keys and sharps, alert to youth behaviors, ask for assistance when needed, notify others of any assaultive or dangerous behavior

The Role of Clientele• OYA facilities serve offenders
age 12-25 who have committed crimes prior to their 18th birthday
• offenders who have been adjudicated in juvenile court and committed to OYA
• offenders who have committed Measure 11 offenses and are committed to the Department of Corrections, and, because of their age, are placed in the physical custody of OYA
• offenders who have been waived to adult court for non-Measure 11 crimes and are committed to the Department of Corrections, and because of their age, are placed in the physical custody of OYA
