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!

Celebrating Greg Lindgren’s Retirement: A Legacy of Service On July 29th, we gathered for a retirement pizza party to honor Greg Lindgren, who completed nearly 26 years of dedicated service. Greg joined us in October 1998 as a laundry truck driver and became a familiar and friendly face to all our customers. His unwavering commitment and positive attitude made a lasting impact on both his peers and those he served. While we will certainly miss having Greg on our team, we’re excited for him as he embarks on this new chapter. Wishing Greg all the best in his well-deserved retirement! #OCETeam #LegacyOfService #NewChapterBegins #RetirementCelebration #EmployeeAppreciation

Walking in Their Shoes: OCE Administrator Melanie Doolin Embarks on a Reentry Simulation Journey. During the recent American Correctional Association #NashvilleCongressofCorrection, one of the sessions placed attendees in the role of someone newly released from incarceration. Participants had to navigate the same challenges faced by those reentering society, such as acquiring an ID, finding transportation, shopping for food, meeting with their parole/probation officer, avoiding pitfalls of reincarceration, and more. Through this immersive experience, Melanie gained firsthand insight into the challenges faced by individuals reentering society after incarceration—underscoring the critical need for empathy and support in helping them rebuild their lives. It was a fun, yet intentionally frustrating experience designed to open the eyes of corrections professionals to the barriers people face upon release.
