History
[edit]The building that the prison is housed in was built in 1931, but remained vacant for 10 years until it became the Oregon School For Girls.[2] In 1976, the school was closed and converted into the Oakhill Correctional Institution. The facility is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[1][3]
