How to send messages, photos, and packages
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.
