As a Correctional Officer at Coffee Creek Correctional Facility, I keep the public safe by holding the Adult In Custody (AIC) accountable. To hold AICs responsible for their actions and to help rehabilitate them, we use the Oregon Accountability Model (OAM). We focused on the use of progressive discipline to help provide consistency to the AIC population, who may need to be redirected. Coffee Creek has various posts to work, including our Male Intake housing units, Special Housing/ Disciplinary Segregation unit, Minimum Facility, Mobile Patrol, and more. Coffee Creek offers communication with a wide array of AICs ranging from female to male, as well as mental and behavioral health populations.
