Locate Ahtanum View Reentry Center Residents

Ahtanum View Reentry Center Overview

Ahtanum View Reentry Center is operated by the Washington State Department of Corrections. The DOC fact sheet places it at 2009 S. 64th Avenue in Yakima and describes it as a reentry center for male and female DOC residents who meet screening criteria. Residents may transfer there as early as 18 months before release. That makes the center important for Yakima custody searches, but it should not be described as a jail, city jail, or county corrections facility.

The center is a partial-confinement, minimum-custody setting. DOC says it provides 24/7 safety, food services, case management, and building maintenance. The facility supports transition planning, work and school connections, family links, and other reentry needs. A person at Ahtanum View is in a DOC pathway. A county booking record may explain where the case began, but current resident status must be checked through DOC tools.

Ahtanum View Population

The 2024 PREA audit for Ahtanum View Reentry Center gives the strongest sourced population figures in the research. It notes a staffing plan based on 101 residents, an average daily population of 40 since the last audit, 33 custody and non-custody staff positions, and 48 cameras. The audit also states that the facility met the audited PREA standards. These figures describe a DOC reentry center, not local jail beds.

Ahtanum View DOC Lookup

The correct lookup path is the Washington DOC incarcerated search. DOC publishes information about currently incarcerated individuals to improve public safety, and its results can include location data for DOC custody. The same DOC search page links to WA VINE, which provides custody status notifications and related protective-order status tools where available.

1. Open the Washington DOC incarcerated search.
2. Search by DOC Number when known, or use first and last name fields.
3. Review result columns for DOC Number, name, age, and location.
4. Use the WA VINE link for notification tools tied to custody status.
5. Do not use the Yakima County jail roster as the primary lookup for Ahtanum View residents.

The DOC search rules matter. Special characters other than hyphens and apostrophes cannot be used in name searches. A person sentenced from a Yakima County case may no longer appear in local custody once transferred to DOC control.

Ahtanum View Search Fields

DOC search fields are different from jail booking fields. A county jail booking number is not the same as a DOC number. If a person has moved from a Yakima County arrest into state custody or reentry placement, the DOC number and DOC location field become the key identifiers.

Washington DOC Locator Screen

The successful screenshot from the Washington DOC incarcerated search shows the state-level fields that apply to Ahtanum View Reentry Center residents.

The locator is state-controlled, so it is the proper search source when a Yakima County case has moved into DOC custody or reentry placement.

Ahtanum View Contact

DOC records list the Ahtanum View Reentry Center address and phone in Yakima. The DOC reentry-center contact list also identifies Ahtanum View Reentry Center with Justin Childers and an office phone. Because the research did not include a public visitor lobby schedule, money vendor, or mail format for this center, those details should be confirmed through DOC rather than inferred from Yakima County jail rules.

Ahtanum View Reentry Programs

The DOC fact sheet describes in-house resident computers for visitation, job searching, schooling, court and virtual medical appointments, sober support meetings, and virtual religious services. It also identifies DOC-led Decision Points, family-friendly events meant to promote family unification, WA Way, and cultural events that support normalization. These details show why Ahtanum View belongs on a Yakima inmate-population site even though it is not a jail.

A DOC partial-confinement site focused on transition back into the community.

Partial confinement

Ahtanum View Visit Questions

The research confirms resident computers can support visitation, but it does not provide a public Ahtanum View visiting schedule, approval process, dress code, mail address format, money deposit vendor, or commissary rules. Those gaps should not be filled with Yakima County jail rules. County jail visiting uses Securus and local jail schedules, but Ahtanum View is a DOC reentry center with a different operator and different custody purpose.

Ahtanum View vs Jail

Ahtanum View Reentry Center should be separated from Yakima County DOC and Yakima City Jail. Yakima County DOC handles county jail custody at the jail and annex. Yakima City Jail handles a limited male city misdemeanor population. Ahtanum View holds DOC residents who are already in a state corrections pathway and who have been approved for reentry-center placement. The difference affects every lookup question.

Ahtanum View Conditions

The 2024 PREA audit found Ahtanum View Reentry Center was in its fourth PREA audit and met the audited standards. The research also notes the facility's public-safety goal through positive change and skills for community success. This conditions context should be read as DOC audit and program information, not as county jail data. State DOC unexpected fatality review rules also differ from local jail unexpected fatality rules.

For Yakima County searches, Ahtanum View often appears after sentencing or DOC placement, not right after street arrest. If a person moved from a Yakima arrest to a state sentence and then to reentry placement, the court case explains the conviction and sentence, while DOC search explains current custody location.
