Oregon Department of Corrections (DOC)’s
 Re-entry and Release Services provide transition classes, re-entry preparation, and individualized release planning services to inmates in DOC institutions and Oregon Youth Authority facilities. These services extend to county re-entry programs, Oregon inmates housed out-of-state, and Oregon inmates serving a concurrent sentence in another state.

Staff specializing in re-entry and release develop a plan to help individuals return to the community. They assist with basic needs like housing, employment, and medical and mental health care.

DOC partners with the releasing inmate, county community corrections agencies, Oregon Board of Parole and Post-Prison Supervision, DOC medical and mental health professionals, state and federal agencies, and private providers.

Re-entry and Release also assist with other benefits inmates might be eligible for prior to release, including: Oregon Health Plan, Medicaid, Veterans benefits, Social Security, and State-issued identification through the Oregon Department of Motor Vehicles.
