Hillcrest was run by the Oregon Youth Authority (OYA), Oregon's juvenile corrections agency.

Hillcrest served males ages 12–25 who were violent or in need of substance abuse treatment. [1] The facility had a budgeted capacity of 180 beds. [1] Hillcrest also served as the location for statewide male intake and parole violator intake assessment for youth offenders. [1]

Robert S. Farrell High School was located on site.

History

The facility originally opened as the State Industrial School for Girls in 1914. [2] It was the state's first reform school for girls. [3] A boys' facility was opened 1891, and concern was expressed that there was a need for a similar institution for "erring daughters". [3] The girls' facility opened in 1913 in the old Polytechnic Building on the grounds of the Oregon School for the Deaf while Hillcrest was being built. [2]

The school was renamed Hillcrest School for Girls, [4] and later the Hillcrest School of Oregon. [5] The facility became co-gender in the mid-1970s. [6] Hillcrest became an all-male facility in 2008, when Oak Creek Youth Correctional Facility for female offenders was established in Albany. [6]

Oversight

For part of its history, Hillcrest was managed by the Oregon State Board of Control. [7] Hillcrest was operated by the Oregon Department of Corrections (DOC) from 1965–1971. [5] When the Children's Services Division in the Department of Human Resources (now the Oregon Department of Human Services) was created, it took over oversight of the facility from the DOC. [5] In 1995, a bill was introduced in the Oregon State Legislature that would establish an independent department, the Oregon Youth Authority, to administer Oregon's youth correctional facilities. [2] The bill became law that same year and the Oregon Youth Authority became a division of the Oregon Department of Human Resources. In 1996, the Oregon Youth Authority became an independent department of the State of Oregon. [2]
