When Your Mail and Commissary Orders Arrive at Atoka County Jail

Atoka County Jail runs commissary on a weekly cycle, with inmate orders placed on Mondays. If you plan to add funds or coordinate what your loved one needs, aim for the start of the week so their order can be put in on time.

Commissary deliveries arrive on Fridays. So there's a built-in gap: orders go in Monday, items show up Friday.

Commissary is where inmates buy day-to-day basics and small comfort items. At Atoka County Jail, that typically includes hygiene products, snacks, and entertainment items. It covers a lot of the things you might wish you could just drop off in person.

Atoka County Jail accepts mail on weekdays only, not weekends or holidays. If you send something right before a weekend or holiday, expect it to sit before entering the normal processing flow.

Once mail arrives at the facility, it doesn't go straight to the housing unit. Atoka County Jail distributes mail during designated mail call times, so when your loved one actually gets it depends on that schedule.

1. Start in JailATM and pick the location: Select Oklahoma, then choose Atoka County Jail & Sheriff.
2. Enter your loved one’s details: Enter the inmate ID and last name, then choose the correct inmate before you move forward to register and complete payment.

Parcels are separate from weekly commissary and can include items you can't get through a standard order. Atoka County Jail permits parcels containing magazines, books, postcards, and newspapers. The jail also allows certain care packages with snacks, medical supplies, and clothes.

Practical Timing Tips

• ✓ If your loved one is planning to use commissary that week, think “Monday order, Friday delivery” and plan purchases early.
• ✓ Avoid expecting mail movement over weekends and holidays since the jail does not accept inmate mail on those days.
• ✓ If you mail something time-sensitive, remember it will still be handed out at designated mail call times, not necessarily right when it arrives.
• ✓ When timing matters, plan around the weekly cycle: early-week commissary planning and weekday-only mail acceptance tend to reduce delays.

Sending a parcel? Build in extra time compared to commissary. You'll need to submit it through JailATM by selecting Oklahoma, then Atoka County Jail & Sheriff, and entering the inmate ID and last name to choose the correct person before checkout. After that, parcels go through thorough inspection, so delivery timing can differ from the Monday-to-Friday commissary schedule.
