The superintendent of the Oregon State Penitentiary has moved into a long-vacant administrative position in the 14-prison state Corrections Department, officials said Tuesday. After seven years at the helm of Oregon's sole maximum-security prison, Brian Belleque this week became westside institutions administrator for the Corrections Department. Belleque now oversees eight state prisons operating in Oregon's western region, including five Salem-area facilities: the state penitentiary, the penitentiary's adjacent minimum-security facility, the Oregon State Correctional Institution, the Mill Creek Correctional Facility and the Santiam Correctional Facility. Belleque started his new job Monday. The position had been vacant for about 10 months. Also effective Monday, Jeff Premo became penitentiary superintendent. Premo is a corrections veteran who rose through the agency ranks to become leader of prison system security and inmate work programs. That position is being scrapped for money-saving reasons, said Jeanine Hohn, communications manager for the Corrections Department. "The Department will realize a cost savings of a little under $214,000 for the remainder of the biennium, which will be reallocated to cover other unfunded liabilities within the Operations Division," Hohn wrote in an e-mail to the Statesman Journal.
