Resident Orientation and Placement Types
Each resident is referred to NWRRC through an outside agency and undergoes an orientation period upon arrival, familiarizing themselves with the Resident Handbook, facility operations, and program requirements.
Residents come from various backgrounds and federal placements, including Pretrial, Pre-Release, Public Law, and Direct Court placements. In addition, we have residents referred to NWRRC throughout Western Washington and all 36 counties in Oregon.
Each program – Federal, Aid & Assist, and DCJ – provides individualized support based on the their placement status and needs.
Please review the specific handbook based on the placement type for additional information regarding these and other important topics:
