Jackson County Community Justice Transition Center Overview
The Jackson County Community Justice Transition Center is operated by Jackson County Community Justice at 5505 S. Pacific Highway in Phoenix. It is a transition, work-service, and accountability setting for male and female criminal-justice clients on supervision. The official county material describes treatment, vocational skill-building, work service, transitional housing, and personal accountability, not ordinary street-arrest booking.
That distinction is important for lookup and contact. Jackson County Jail in Medford publishes the current AIC list for people in jail custody. The Transition Center is a separate Community Justice operation. A person may have court, probation, jail, or DOC records connected to the same case, but the Transition Center itself should not be described as a booking jail or a mugshot roster facility.
The official Transition Center page gives the capacity, mission, and 2025 performance statistics for the Phoenix facility.
The county's own description frames the center around supervised change, work service, and reentry support rather than jail booking, bond, or current AIC roster search.
Transition Center Capacity and 2025 Population Statistics
The Transition Center has 139 working-capacity beds. Its official 2025 statistics show an average daily population of 89, 1,265 total intakes, an average length of stay of 33 days, a 97 percent successful completion rate, 544 work crews, and 17,784 transitional housing service days. These numbers belong to Community Justice programming and should not be blended with the Jackson County Jail's capacity or booking totals.
The figures also show why the facility deserves a separate page. The work crews and transitional housing days describe a program pipeline, not merely a bed count. A user asking whether someone is housed at the Transition Center may need supervision-program information, while a user asking whether someone was arrested today needs the jail AIC list.
| 2025 Measure | Figure | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Total intakes | 1,265 | People entering Transition Center programming during the reported year |
| Average stay | 33 days | Average length of participation or residence reported by the county |
| Work crews | 544 | Community work-service crews connected to the program mission |
| Transitional housing service days | 17,784 | Housing-service days delivered through transition programming |
How to Look Up a Person Connected to the Transition Center
There is no official research finding that the Transition Center publishes its own public resident roster. Do not use the Jackson County current AIC list as proof that someone is or is not in the Transition Center unless the person is also in jail custody. For supervision, work-release, transition, or program questions, the correct first contact is Jackson County Community Justice or the Transition Center phone line.
- For jail custody, start with the Jackson County current AIC list; it covers the county jail, not every Community Justice client.
- For Transition Center program or supervision questions, call the facility at 541-774-6610 or contact Jackson County Community Justice.
- For court charges or hearing dates, search Oregon Judicial Department records or contact Jackson County Circuit Court records.
- For a sentenced prison transfer, use Oregon Offender Search rather than the county jail roster or the Transition Center page.
Lookup boundary: the Transition Center is a Community Justice facility. Jail booking, prison custody, court case records, and supervision-program questions may all point to different offices.
Transition Center Address, Phone, and Parking
The Transition Center is in Phoenix on S. Pacific Highway. The official contact material lists the facility as open 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, with public parking in the lot on the west side of the building. Use the phone number below for facility-specific questions rather than calling the jail booking desk for Community Justice program details.

Visitation, Contact, and Program Rules
The research did not locate a public Transition Center visitation schedule comparable to the Jackson County Jail's AIC visitation table. Because this is a Community Justice transition facility, rules for contact, movement, work service, treatment participation, and accountability are program-specific. Call the Transition Center before visiting, delivering property, or attempting to meet a participant at the building.
| Topic | Transition Center Guidance | What Not to Assume |
|---|---|---|
| Public visits | Confirm directly with the facility | Do not apply jail contact-visit rules automatically |
| Program contact | Use Community Justice or the Transition Center phone line | Do not treat the jail booking desk as the program office |
| Parking | Public parking is in the west-side lot | Do not park based on jail or courthouse directions |
| Hours | Facility contact page lists 24/7 operations | Program access may still depend on staff instructions |
Mail, Phone, and Money for Transition Center Participants
The official research does not document a public mail, commissary, phone, or online-deposit system for the Transition Center equivalent to the jail's AIC mail and money pages. That matters because jail vendors and rules are easy to misapply. ViaPath/GettingOut video visits, jail collect-call housing phones, jail lobby kiosk deposits, mailed money orders to Jackson County Jail, and CorrectPay bail rules are jail-specific unless Community Justice gives separate instructions for a Transition Center participant.
| Need | Use This Channel |
|---|---|
| Transition Center program question | Call 541-774-6610 |
| Current jail custody | Use the Jackson County current AIC list or call Jackson County Jail at 541-774-6850 |
| Court case or hearing | Use Oregon Judicial Department records or Jackson County Circuit Court records |
| Bail for a jail AIC | Use the court, jail kiosk, or CorrectPay process described by Jackson County Jail |
If a person recently moved between jail custody and Community Justice programming, confirm which agency currently controls the question. A jail AIC account, court bail obligation, probation-supervision instruction, and Transition Center program requirement are different things even when they involve the same person.
Intake at the Transition Center
Transition Center intake is not the same as county jail booking after arrest. The facility's official description points to criminal-justice clients on supervision who receive treatment, transitional services, work service, vocational skills, and accountability programming. The reported 1,265 intakes in 2025 belong to that Community Justice context.
A street arrest still routes through the Jackson County Jail if the person is lodged in custody. Jail booking creates or updates a public AIC roster entry with identifiers, demographics, charge rows, bail amount, lodging date, and release date field. Transition Center participation may follow court or supervision decisions, but the public jail roster is not a complete program-participant list.
Average length of stay was 33 days in the 2025 Transition Center statistics. That number helps set expectations for program turnover, but it should not be read as a guaranteed stay for any specific person. Program terms, supervision conditions, court orders, and compliance outcomes can change the length of participation.
Community Justice Operations and Reentry Role
Jackson County Community Justice uses the Transition Center as a local reentry and accountability resource. The official mission language says adults on supervision restore value to the community through work service and paying their own way, while change is supported through treatment, vocational skills, and personal accountability. The 544 work crews and 17,784 transitional housing service days reported for 2025 are strong local indicators of that mission in operation.
The facility also helps explain the broader Jackson County inmate-population picture. The jail is the booking and custody point for people arrested by local agencies. The Transition Center is part of the downstream community-corrections structure for people who are not simply being held in the jail population. Keeping those categories separate prevents a common records mistake: treating every justice-involved facility as if it publishes a jail roster.
For public-record context, Oregon public records law can provide access to public records unless an exemption applies, but Community Justice files, supervision records, treatment information, victim information, juvenile information, and security-sensitive details may be limited or withheld. When the question is a court case, use court records. When the question is active jail custody, use the AIC list. When the question is program participation or facility access, call the Transition Center.
Note: Confirm program status, visiting access, parking, and contact rules with Community Justice before traveling to the Phoenix facility.
