Washington County Jail Inmate Communication Overview
The Washington County Jail in Hillsboro, Oregon, houses adults in custody for the county, including pretrial detainees and sentenced inmates from the Portland metro area's western suburbs.
Telephones are located throughout the jail housing units for outgoing calls. The county's official jail page names ViaPath, an outside telephone service provider, for prepaid phone accounts: families can set up an account for a specific phone number or a specific adult in custody, and the inmate can purchase prepaid phone time with account funds through the jail commissary. Collect calls are also available, subject to the phone service provider's fees.
Contact visiting runs on a daily schedule with morning and afternoon or early evening blocks, seven days a week including holidays. Adults in custody cannot receive incoming telephone calls, jail staff cannot relay messages, and all calls are recorded except calls to an attorney and verified clergy.
