Oregon Corrections Enterprises (OCE) is a mid-sized government agency based in Salem, Oregon, created in 1999 through Ballot Measure 68 to support the Department of Corrections’ constitutional mandate stemming from Measure 17. It operates as a semi-independent state agency with finances kept separate by statute from the DOC, distinguishing its structure from a traditional departmental model. Its core work involves training and work programs for adults in custody, with the aim of developing useful job skills and work discipline to aid successful reintegration after release and to help maintain safe correctional facilities. OCE offers a range of products and services and maintains alignment with industry trends to provide marketable skills and practical experience. The organization collaborates with the Oregon DOC, other state agencies, nonprofit groups, and the public to sustain work opportunities for offenders and reduce recidivism. Based in Salem, OCE operates as part of Oregon’s public sector, contributing to the community through its program and partnerships.
