Programs

Community Involvement

The Community Partnership Program at Cedar Creek Corrections Center has several community involvement programs. As a partner with our local schools, businesses, and churches, we collaborate on several community projects each year. Some projects include building rocking horses for local preschools, holding staff and offender food drives for our local food banks, and helping to support local non-profits such as the Rochester ROOF program and an annual holiday Adopt–a–Family.

Cedar Creek also collaborates with the Department of Natural Resources to maintain trails and surrounding campgrounds of the Capital Forest.

In addition, Cedar Creek provides community service crews that perform thousands of hours of work each year for local, county, non–profit and state agencies. The facility provides crew services to Stafford Creek Corrections Center and the Washington Corrections Center, that include wastewater treatment plant operation, recycling, motor pools, warehouse operations, general maintenance and construction projects.

A part of the mission at Cedar Creek is to engage our staff members and offenders in our sustainability efforts. These efforts include gardening, composting, and recycling and rainwater catchment.

Through our partnerships with The Evergreen State College and the Department of Fish and Wildlife, we connect offenders with nature and teach them about environmental responsibility. We are currently operating an Oregon Spotted Frog Hatchery and Reintegration Program and released more than 60 endangered Spotted Frogs in 2009.

Another program with The Evergreen State College is our model Beekeeping Program that is maintained by offenders. Our program teaches eco–friendly bee management practices utilizing current organic techniques. The offenders produce bee products such as honey, lip balm and hand lotion that is used by the facility kitchen and for special events.

Each year we average 8,000 – 10,000 pounds of vegetables. These vegetables are used in the kitchen for offender meals. This saves money as well as providing fresh vegetables for offenders to eat. To grow these vegetables, compost is needed. Most food waste is composted and used on our gardens.

We have a rainwater catchment system that provides the water needed for the gardens. All garbage is sorted through and whatever can be recycled is. This has reduced our trash going to the landfill by half. Through these partnerships, everyone involved benefits by working together with less cost to taxpayers.
