Description
In 1953, Cedar Creek Youth Camp in Thurston County began operation and served as a youth camp until August 30, 1979. In July of 1979, the Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) made an administrative decision to convert it to an adult facility. The decision was based on the decrease in juvenile population and the overcrowding in all adult facilities, particularly the state penitentiary. Prior to the conversion, DSHS notified local legislators of its plan and held a public meeting to explain the change. On September 20, 1979, the first adult felons were transferred to Cedar Creek.
