What Happened:
On or about January 5, 2026, the Oregon Department of Corrections (DOC) discovered that a former Snake River Correctional Institution (SRCI) employee improperly acquired records between July 7, 2025, and early January 2026. We became aware of this data extraction because of an investigation into allegations of serious misconduct by this employee.

This data extraction resulted in unauthorized access to personal information. Staff, vendors, adults in custody (AICs), and visitors may be affected.

DOC Director Michael Reese made the following statement: “The actions taken by this employee violated the professional and ethical standards expected of every person who works in our agency. They have been terminated, and we are working with our law enforcement partners to hold them accountable for this data extraction, as well as other serious misconduct. Our employees, adults in custody, and others whose data may have been illegally removed deserve transparency and responsible stewardship of sensitive information, and we are committed to delivering both.”

What Information Was Involved:
The records contained over 7.5 GB of data, consisting of more than 33,000 files of various types.

What We Are Doing:
DOC is in the process of contracting with a data forensics company to identify those impacted by this data extraction. Notification to these individuals will be done by first class mail. Due to the size of this data extraction and types of files involved, the data forensics work may take several weeks to complete.

DOC is also working closely with public safety partners to ensure this former employee is held accountable for their actions.

Your Rights and Recommendations:

While the data forensics work is being completed, it is recommended you remain vigilant and consider the following steps:

  • Monitor your personal records for any unusual activity.
  • If you are a DOC employee, review your employment records for any unusual activity.
  • Report suspicious identity theft or fraud to your financial institution or employer immediately.
  • Consider placing a security freeze or fraud alert with credit reporting agencies if you believe you have been harmed.

Notification to Authorities:

DOC continues to work closely with the Oregon Department of Justice, Oregon State Police, the Oregon Department of Administrative Services, and local law enforcement agencies relating to the criminal investigation for the unauthorized access of personal data. DOC grateful for their hard work and partnership.
