| About WCCF: |
Warner Creek Correctional Facility (WCCF) is a 400-bed minimum security facility which opened in September 2005. All inmates housed at WCCF are scheduled for release within three years. Programs and work assignments are designed to facilitate successful reentry into Oregon communities. The facility employs an average of 110 correctional professionals.
The prison site comprises 91 acres, but the facility itself occupies less than 15 acres and utilizes approximately 117,000 sq. ft. of building space which includes areas for inmate housing, work and education programs, health services, food services, religious services, physical plant, warehouse and storage, vehicle maintenance, a laundry facility, recreational activities, administration and various other functions.
Construction of WCCF was put on hold in the fall of 2002 due to the state's budget situation. The 2003-2005 Legislatively Adopted Budget included authority to complete the prison's construction.
A unique feature of WCCF is its use of natural energy for providing heat to the facility. Heat is collected from water that has been warmed by natural geothermal sources deep inside the Earth. The geothermally heated water is pumped up through a well and piped into a heat exchange unit where the heat is then transferred to the prison’s water-loop system. Once the heat has been transferred and the water has cooled, the water is re-injected back into the ground.
The combination of the heat exchange unit and the heated water-loop system delivers natural and efficient energy to the facility where it is used to provide hot water for domestic and space heating purposes. However, WCCF is not completely reliant on geothermal heat. The facility is also fitted with a propane fired back-up boiler system that is capable of providing 100% of the required heat under the most extreme conditions, should problems ever arise with the geothermal system.
