Find Cedar Creek Corrections Center Inmates

Cedar Creek Prison Overview

Cedar Creek Corrections Center is operated by the Washington State Department of Corrections. DOC identifies it as a men's prison in Thurston County with a minimum custody level. The facility is in rural Littlerock, southwest of Olympia, and is part of the state prison system rather than the county jail system. That means custody, visitation, mail, money, and records are governed by DOC policies and facility alerts.

The state-prison distinction is the core fact for this page. A person may first appear on the Thurston County Corrections Facility roster after arrest, then later move into DOC custody after conviction and sentencing on a state felony. Once that transfer occurs, the county roster may no longer show the person. The DOC incarcerated search becomes the correct lookup system because it tracks state prison custody and current DOC location.

DOC facility materials list Cedar Creek as opened in 1954. The current DOC facility page lists capacity for 480 incarcerated individuals, while the DOC Cedar Creek fact sheet lists 479 operating capacity and 430 average daily population for September 2024. Those figures are prison data, not county jail population numbers.

The official Cedar Creek Corrections Center facility page shows the DOC facility profile used for Cedar Creek custody and program details.

The DOC facility page is the better source for Cedar Creek operations than Thurston County jail pages because DOC manages this prison.

Cedar Creek Capacity and Population

Cedar Creek has facility-level population data in DOC sources. The public facility page states capacity for 480 incarcerated individuals. The DOC fact sheet dated February 2025 gives a more operational snapshot: 479 operating capacity and 430 average daily population in September 2024. The difference between capacity and average daily population matters because capacity is the number of beds or operating slots DOC reports, while ADP is the measured average population for a period.

Search Cedar Creek DOC Records

The correct lookup channel for Cedar Creek is the Washington DOC incarcerated search. The DOC search accepts DOC number, first name, and last name. Search results observed in the research showed DOC number, name, age, location, and VINE profile links. Use the location field to confirm whether the person is listed at Cedar Creek Corrections Center or at another DOC facility, reception center, or contract location.

1. Open the Washington DOC incarcerated search, not the Thurston County jail roster.
2. Search by DOC number when known, or use first and last name.
3. Review the result list for DOC number, name, age, and current location.
4. Confirm that the location is Cedar Creek Corrections Center before relying on facility-specific visiting or mail rules.
5. Use WA VINE from the DOC result if custody notifications are needed.

The DOC incarcerated search is also useful for people transferred out of the county jail after sentencing.

The DOC search confirms the current state custody location, which is the key fact the county roster does not provide after transfer.

Cedar Creek Address and Contact

Use Cedar Creek contact information for facility-specific questions about prison visiting, mail, programs, and current facility alerts. Use DOC central records or the DOC search tools for statewide incarcerated search information. Do not call the Thurston County Corrections Facility reception desk for prison custody details unless the person is still in county jail custody.

Cedar Creek Prison Visits

Cedar Creek visiting is governed by DOC prison visiting rules, facility alerts, approval steps, and schedules. Thurston County Corrections Facility video-visitation rules do not control Cedar Creek visits. A county jail remote video system such as ViaPath/GettingOut is not the default rule for a state prison visit. Approved visitors should follow the DOC visiting process and check Cedar Creek alerts before travel.

Bring valid identification and follow DOC dress, conduct, property, and entry rules. Facility alerts can change visiting even when a general schedule exists, so the current DOC page is the controlling source.

Cedar Creek Mail and Money

Mail and money for Cedar Creek are DOC prison matters. The research does not provide a Cedar Creek-specific deposit fee table or vendor schedule, so no local fee should be invented. Use DOC mail and money pages, facility instructions, and any current DOC alerts before sending funds or mail. State prison rules can differ from county jail scanned-mail rules and from juvenile detention rules.

Cedar Creek Admission and Programs

Cedar Creek admission is not street-arrest booking. State prison custody generally follows conviction, sentencing, DOC commitment, and classification. A person from Thurston County may move from the adult county jail to DOC reception and then to a prison location such as Cedar Creek if DOC classifies the person for that placement. The DOC search location field is the clearest public signal of where the person is housed after that process.

Research material describes Cedar Creek as a minimum-custody facility with reentry and program context. DOC and Washington Correctional Industries sources describe on-site Correctional Industries activity, and recent DOC material described a staff-led golf program intended to teach discipline, patience, and integrity. These programs are prison programs, not county jail correctional options such as work release or electronic home monitoring.
