OCE is a vehicle to second chances for people like you and me who have feelings, ambitions, and dreams of a better life.
About us
In 1999, Oregon Corrections Enterprises (OCE) was established through the passage of Ballot Measure 68 by the people of Oregon with the purpose of helping DOC meet its constitutional mandate created by Measure 17. OCE, the former DOC Corrections Industries program, was authorized as a semi-independent state agency, whose finances are completely separated by statute from the DOC. OCE receives no taxpayer dollars - instead, OCE is funded entirely through sales of its products and services. Ballot Measure 68 provided the flexibility needed for OCE to operate like a private sector business. As a result, OCE has been able to sustain itself financially and move quickly to address new business opportunities, respond to economic downturns, and expand work and training opportunities for adults in custody. The collective efforts of both DOC and OCE are focused on keeping Oregon correctional facilities safe and providing adults in custody with the skill set and work ethics they will need to succeed upon release. We support Oregon's community in a variety of ways. Making a Difference - With training and guidance, the men and women in OCE work programs gain meaningful experience and return to their communities with a stronger work ethic and viable job skills, increasing their ability to succeed. Keeping Current with Future Job Skills Demands - By offering advanced training and state-of-the-art equipment, OCE is keeping current with industry standards and providing marketable job skills. Leading the Way with Great Partnerships - By working with the Oregon DOC, state agencies, non-profit agencies, and the public, OCE builds partnerships that sustain work opportunities for offenders. Working together, we reduce recidivism while saving money for Oregon's taxpayers. Quality and Value - A continuously expanding array of high-quality products and services keeps OCE current with market trends. We make a difference!

Last week, OCE Administrator Melanie Doolin visited Warner Creek Correctional Facility (WCCF) to acknowledge two key partners in our ongoing initiatives. Superintendent Jeremy Beaumont Beaumont and Assistant Security Superintendent Chase Abston were presented with a Prison Blues hat and an Administrator Coin in appreciation of their strong collaboration with OCE. Their leadership has been pivotal in helping launch the first work release pilot program at WCCF, as well as reintroducing the OCE call center after its closure when the future of the facility was uncertain. Their partnership has been instrumental in creating new opportunities for AICs and expanding our programs. We are truly grateful for their support and dedication to making a lasting impact! #OCEPrograms #Partnerships #ImpactfulLeadership #CollaborationMatters

At Oregon Corrections Enterprises (OCE), our manufacturing programs teach more than just producing garments, signage, and furniture. We focus on building valuable life skills—like quality control, teamwork, and mastering complex machinery—that lead to successful transitions back into society. Now, we’re bringing our manufacturing expertise to the great outdoors! The OCE Tiny Shelter offers a perfect blend of comfort and convenience for those who want to enjoy nature without the hassle of tents or the expense of RVs. Built with mobility in mind, these shelters can be easily towed to various locations, making them ideal for campgrounds, parks, and more. Beyond recreational use, OCE Tiny Shelters also provide a valuable solution for emergency response and transitional housing, allowing communities to quickly offer safe, temporary shelter where it’s needed most. Visit our website and check out how our manufacturing programs are creating opportunities for both people and communities: https://lnkd.in/gCF6beBz #OCEPrograms #OCEManufacturing #TinyShelter #ManufacturingSkills #EmergencyShelter

Recently, OCE had the pleasure of hosting Aliza Kaplan, Professor and Director of the Criminal Justice Reform Clinic at Lewis & Clark Law School, along with her students, for a tour of our shops at Oregon State Penitentiary. Our Administrator, Melanie Doolin, guided them through the facilities, showcasing how OCE’s programs help Adults in Custody (AICs) develop valuable skills and prepare for life after incarceration. Aliza and her students work closely with AICs, representing them in parole, clemency, and other post-conviction matters. This visit gave them firsthand insight into the rehabilitation and skill-building efforts happening within our programs. By understanding how AICs engage in meaningful work and training, they can better advocate for their clients in court and before the parole board. OCE is committed to providing opportunities that prepare AICs for a successful reentry. If you're an organization, legal professional, or community advocate, we invite you to connect with us to learn more about how our programs are making a difference: https://lnkd.in/gw-xKabe or https://lnkd.in/gDRw_DMY #OCEPrograms #LewisandClarkLawSchool #CommunityEngagement #ReentryPrograms #RehabilitationPrograms
