Donald E. Long Home or Donald E. Long School is the only juvenile detention facility in Multnomah County, also serving Clackamas County and Washington County. Donald E. Long has a reputation as one of the best of its kind, mainly because it is clean and offers classes.[1] However, all inmates attend the same low-level (basic multiplication, etc) classes regardless of ability, making them worthless for many inmates.

A small vegetable garden prominently displayed at the north end of the complex, complete with signage proudly proclaiming to the street the existence of a vegetable garden, appears to be mainly a PR ploy.
