How to search: enter the person's legal last and first name, or their Oregon DOC ID number if you have it. Nicknames and misspellings usually return nothing; try fewer letters or a different spelling of the name. Use it to confirm the person's name as DOC lists it, their SID number and current facility. Mail and deposits need the SID number.
What the dates mean: any dates shown, such as admission, sentence or projected release dates, come from Oregon DOC's own records. Projected dates can change (for example with earned credits, discipline or parole decisions) and are not a guarantee. Ask Oregon DOC or the facility before making plans around a date.
OutSooner does not store or list anyone's name, date of birth or ID number. The search runs on the official site.
Sentence credits
Credit rules come from Oregon law and are the same at every Oregon DOC prison. Read Oregon's good-time and earned-time rules.
