	About/Additional Info:	​Eastern Oregon Correctional Institution (EOCI) was authorized in 1983 by the 62nd Legislative Assembly as the first medium-security adult male correctional facility established outside Marion County. Until its conversion to a prison, EOCI had been a state mental hospital, with most of the buildings originally constructed in 1912-13. The first adults in custody were received on June 24, 1985. The 1682-bed facility is Pendleton´s fourth largest employer. The institution has 19 separate general population housing units, comprised of 596 dormitory structured beds and 897 cell-structured beds, a 99-single occupancy cell Disciplinary Segregation Unit, and an eight bed Infirmary. EOCI contracts with Blue Mountain Community College (BMCC) to provide education services at the institution. Approximately 1,000 AICs have received either a GED certificate or an adult high school diploma since the education program began in 1986. New Directions Education Project was formed in 1999 by a group of people who felt that individuals should have more than a GED to start their lives upon release. Donations were sought from churches, civic groups, individuals and eventually from foundations to pay for tuition, textbooks, and supplies so that BMCC would provide instructors to teach college-transfer classes at EOCI. EOCI is the state´s only facility where the internationally-recognized "Prison Blues" line of blue denim clothing is manufactured. The garment factory is one of two prison industries programs operating at the facility. The prison´s commercial laundry cleans clothing and other items for EOCI and Snake River Correctional Institution, in addition to Pendleton´s local high school, the city´s fire department, the Pendleton Convention Center, and Krusteaz Flour Mill.
