An Oregon Department of Corrections (DOC) adult in custody, Richard Rose, has passed away on August 21, 2020. Rose was incarcerated at Two Rivers Correctional Institution (TRCI) in Umatilla, and passed away at an outside medical facility. As with all in-custody deaths, the Oregon State Police have been notified and the Medical Examiner will determine cause of death.

Rose entered DOC custody on May 24, 2018, from Deschutes County with an earliest release date was April 22, 2022. Rose was 24 years old. Next of kin have been notified.

Rose was convicted of DUII and two counts of assault for a head-on collision that seriously injured 63 year old Terry Neil in August 2015. Prosecutors said at the time of the wreck Rose had marijuana, cocaine, Xanax and Ketamine in his system 

DOC takes all in-custody deaths seriously. The agency is responsible for the care and custody of approximately 14,000 individuals who are incarcerated in 14 institutions across the state. While crime information is public record, DOC elects to disclose only upon request out of respect for any family or victims.

TRCI is a multi-custody prison in Umatilla that houses approximately 1,800 adults in custody. TRCI participates in prison industries with Oregon Corrections Enterprises including institution and industrial laundry, mattress manufacturing, and sewing. Other institution work programs include reparation and cleaning of irrigation ditches, maintenance of local baseball fields, and work with local cities and the Hermiston School District. The facility provides a range of correctional programs and services including education, religious services, and behavioral health services. TRCI opened in 2000.
