Oklahoma County Jail

Visiting Oklahoma County Jail takes a little planning. Start by submitting a visitor application and completing any required background check. Adult approvals can take several weeks, so apply well ahead of time. After you request a visit, wait for facility staff to contact you with explicit confirmation. A request isn't guaranteed until confirmed. On the day of your visit, if you're 18 or older, you must present a government-issued photo ID. The name on your ID must match the scheduled visitor name. Depending on availability, visits may include in-person kiosk sessions plus remote video and phone options through third-party vendors. Remote sessions are typically recorded or monitored. Before traveling, check Oklahoma County temporary processing schedules and trust-meeting notices for schedule changes or temporary rules.

Oklahoma County Jail issues every resident a unique PIN that unlocks access to the facility handbook, the phone system, and their trust account. To add funds, use JailATM's online web portal or mobile app. These options typically have the lowest handling charge and include vendor support if there's a problem with a transaction. New residents get an initial orientation within five days of reception through a verbal explanation and/or video presentation. If your loved one has trouble understanding the handbook due to literacy, language, or hearing needs, the jail can provide an interpreter or another form of communication on request. Common communication options include phone calls, video visits, and electronic messaging. Relatives usually register with the approved vendor and confirm their phone number before receiving calls.

Oklahoma County Jail contracts commissary services through Benchmark, so commissary ordering and purchases run through that provider. To put money on an inmate's account, make an online deposit at deposits.jailatm.com/webdeposits/ or use the JailATM mobile app. The jail notes that the app and online options have the lowest handling charge. JailATM provides support contact information if you run into a transaction problem. Some jails also offer in-person lobby kiosks or mailed money orders, but availability varies. Check with the facility for current options. When someone is released, money left in their account is returned to them, though the balance may be applied to outstanding fees or debts first.
