MacLaren Youth Correctional Facility

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

MacLaren Youth Correctional Facility is a correctional facility in Woodburn, Oregon. MacLaren incarcerates males from ages 13 to 25 who have committed crimes ranging from drug possession to shop lifting to murder.^{[citation needed]}

One of MacLaren's most infamous residents was Kip Kinkel, who in 1998 murdered his two parents, as well as two students at his Springfield, Oregon, high school. On June 11, 2007, Kinkel was moved to the Oregon State Correctional Institution to serve the remainder of his de facto life sentence.^{[citation needed]}

MacLaren is also the home of Project POOCH, a rehabilitation program that pairs inmates with dogs.
