Sherman County Jail Roster
Sherman County uses Northern Oregon Regional Corrections, known as NORCOR, rather than a stand-alone county jail roster. NORCOR serves Wasco, Hood River, Sherman, and Gilliam counties through a regional adult corrections and juvenile detention complex in The Dalles. That regional structure means the public roster may include people held for multiple counties, federal holds, post-prison supervision sanctions, fugitive matters, and other custody reasons that are not all Sherman County cases.
The Sheriff's Office remains important for Sherman County law-enforcement routing. The sheriff is responsible for maintaining the peace, serving civil papers, executing court orders, incarceration-related duties, search and rescue, marine patrol, and emergency preparedness. The county personnel page names James Burgett as sheriff and states he was sworn in as the 17th sheriff on January 2, 2025.
NORCOR's home page describes the regional corrections system used for Sherman County inmate records.
The regional source explains why a Sherman County inmate lookup may show people from several counties or holding agencies.
Use the Sherman County Inmate Roster
The NORCOR Adults in Custody roster is a public table, not a form with name, booking number, and date fields. The research inspection showed a current date and time, inmate count, row number, image link, name, booking date, charges, bail, and scheduled release. Because there is no search box on the captured roster, use browser find or scroll the list, then confirm details by phone if the result affects bail, release, travel, or court appearance plans.
- Open the NORCOR Adults in Custody roster and check the date, time, and inmate count shown at the top.
- Scan or use browser find for the person's name, allowing for spelling differences.
- Review the booking date, charge text, bail field, and scheduled release field.
- Call NORCOR when a release, bail, or custody status must be confirmed.
- Use court records for dispositions, sentencing, and full criminal case details.
The NORCOR Adults in Custody roster is the public roster source for current custody checks.
The roster source supports a practical search method built around table fields instead of a county search form.
Sherman County Inmate Search Fields
NORCOR's captured roster did not expose a public search form. The useful field inventory is therefore the table fields visible in the public roster and the extra identifiers that help when calling NORCOR or the sheriff. This also prevents a common mistake: a roster entry is a custody snapshot, not a conviction record.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Date and time | Roster header | No | Shows how current the displayed list is. |
| Inmate count | Roster header | No | Shows the number of adults in custody at capture time. |
| Name | Roster column | Yes for visual lookup | Primary way to find a person on the public table. |
| Booking date | Roster column | No | Helps separate same-name or old custody events. |
| Charges | Roster column | No | May include warrant, DUII, release violation, or hold text. |
| Bail | Roster column | No | Dollar amount when listed, blank in some rows. |
| Scheduled release | Roster column | No | Date when listed, blank in some rows. |
What Sherman County Inmate Records Show
The roster gives enough detail to confirm current custody and basic charge information, but it does not replace the court file. The research observed charge examples such as violation of release agreement, post-prison supervision sanction, federal hold, fail to appear bench warrant, contempt of court, DUII alcohol felony, probation violation, and fugitive from other state felony. Those charge labels should be verified with the court or holding agency before being treated as final outcomes.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | The adult in custody listed on the roster. |
| Image link | A row image or mugshot link when displayed by NORCOR. |
| Booking date | When the person was booked into NORCOR custody. |
| Charges | Short custody charge text, hold language, warrant language, or violation label. |
| Bail | Amount listed for release when applicable. |
| Scheduled release | Release date when the roster displays one. |
If the roster charge points to a filed court case, the full outcome belongs in Sherman County criminal court records.
Sherman County Jail Facilities
NORCOR lists both adult and juvenile facilities in The Dalles. The research did not locate an official capacity figure, so capacity should not be inferred. The adult jail is managed by Commander Joyce Orendorff. Because Sherman County is part of a regional jail system, the facility location is outside Moro even though the Sheriff's Office and local courts are at the Sherman County Courthouse.

Sherman County Jail vs DOC Custody
NORCOR is the jail and detention route for Sherman County custody, but sentenced state-prison custody is searched through Oregon DOC. Oregon DOC public offender search and the VISOR portal serve different purposes from the NORCOR jail roster. DOC can support state offender searches, while VISOR supports custody searches and notification requests. Official or certified offender records may require a DOC public records request.
Use the NORCOR roster for local current custody and recent release questions. Use Oregon DOC when the person may be in state sentenced custody. Use VISOR when notification is the goal. Use the Sherman County Sheriff's Office or court records when the question concerns local arrest records, charges, warrants, or case outcomes.
Sherman County Bail and Release
NORCOR's bail page says the public can call 541-298-1576 or use the Adults in Custody page to find whether someone is in custody or released in the last 24 hours and to find charges. Bail can be posted by an adult with photo ID around the clock through court, through a lobby Telmate kiosk if available, by Telmate phone, or by the adult in custody. Telmate fees apply, and court-posted security release can retain a portion as allowed by court rules.
Bail is not the same as final case resolution. A person may be released while the case continues in Circuit Court, Justice Court, or another agency's process. A warrant-related booking may require court confirmation after payment or release. Always verify the release status with NORCOR and the court status with the issuing court when the roster shows bail or scheduled release.
Sherman County Inmate Visitation
NORCOR provides video visitation, remote visitation, and limited in-person visits. Adults in custody receive free weekly video time, and extra or remote video time has a per-minute cost. In-person visits are more restricted and require the adult in custody to request the visit after a set period in custody. Visits can be denied for discipline or operational necessity, and video visits are monitored and recorded.
| Visit Type | Schedule or Rule | Cost or Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Lobby video | Monday-Friday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. | Part of weekly video access |
| Remote video | 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. | $0.25 per minute for remote or added time |
| Weekly free video | Available to adults in custody | 60 free video minutes per week |
| In-person friends and family | After 30 days in custody and approved request | One hour, limited visitor count |
| Monitoring | Video visits are monitored and recorded | Privilege may be limited for discipline or operations |
NORCOR visitation rules provide the video and in-person visitation schedule.
The visitation source gives the schedule details that matter most for families checking Sherman County inmate status.
Sherman County Inmate Mail
Beginning September 1, 2023, NORCOR personal mail is digital through TextBehind. Personal mail should use NORCOR, OREGON; the adult in custody full name and file number; PO Box 247, Phoenix, MD 21131. Sender first and last name and return address are required or mail will be returned. Mail cannot be sent from another incarcerated person, a corrections-monitored facility, a treatment center, a go-between, or a crime victim in that case.
Legal and approved physical mail may use the adult in custody first and last name and file number, 201 Webber Street, The Dalles, OR 97058, with the sender name and return address. The roster may not show the file number needed for mail, so families may need to confirm it through NORCOR before sending personal mail.
NORCOR custody mail rules explain the TextBehind format and sender restrictions.
The mail source is useful because the address differs from the physical jail address for ordinary personal mail.
Sherman County Inmate Funds
NORCOR accepts deposits online through GettingOut, by phone through Telmate, by money order through U.S. Mail included in a letter to the adult in custody, and through a lobby kiosk when available. Accepted deposit methods include cash, Visa, Mastercard, and American Express, although American Express cannot be used for bail. Telmate processing fees apply.
Commissary and property have set timing rules. JailATM care pack orders are due by Wednesday evening for Friday delivery. OutsideInside hot meal orders are due Wednesday by 10:30 p.m. for Friday delivery. Regular commissary orders are due Sunday at 10:30 p.m. for Tuesday delivery and Wednesday at 10:30 p.m. for Friday delivery. Property release pickup is Tuesday and Friday mornings from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., and the recipient needs official picture ID.
NORCOR money and property rules provide the deposit, commissary, and property release details.
The money source helps separate deposit, commissary, bail, and property release rules, which use different timing and payment limits.
Sherman County Inmate Phone Rules
Adult-in-custody telephones are in housing areas and are turned on from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. daily unless safety or discipline issues interrupt access. Calls are collect through Telmate, and phones cannot receive incoming calls. The public can leave a message through Telmate at 866-516-0115. Emergency messages may be delivered by command staff if verified.
Calls are monitored and recorded except legal counsel calls. That matters for Sherman County criminal cases and warrant-related matters because jail calls may affect a court case. For custody status, use the roster or NORCOR phone. For court dates, charges filed, and case outcomes, use Circuit Court, Justice Court, or the relevant court record. Note: NORCOR does not turn a roster charge into a conviction record.
