Who to Contact When You Have Questions About an Inmate at Dick Connor
Need answers about someone at Dick Connor? The Oklahoma Department of Corrections (ODOC) is your best starting point. Here are the main contact numbers and resources, including what to do when your question is urgent or involves applications.
Not sure who to call? Start with the ODOC main office. The street address is 4345 North Lincoln Blvd, Oklahoma City, OK 73105, and the main phone number is 405-425-2500. If you need to mail paperwork (including certain visitation forms), use ODOC's mailing address: PO Box 11400, Oklahoma City, OK 73136-0400. Using the correct address prevents delays, especially when your documents need review at headquarters.
Mailing tip: ODOC headquarters still accepts paper visitor applications. Address the form to the Visitation Unit at P.O. Box 11400, not to the inmate.
Visitor approvals: Adults 18 and older must pass a background check, which can take up to eight weeks. Bringing minors? Have documentation ready (birth certificate, court papers, or adoption records) to verify guardianship.
For family-focused questions, ODOC's Community Outreach Unit is the go-to resource. This team helps offender families navigate the system, figure out next steps, and get connected to the right people when you're hitting dead ends at the facility level. My recommendation: call the ODOC main number and ask to be transferred to the Community Outreach Unit. That's the path ODOC sets up for families, so you won't waste time guessing which office handles your situation.
ODOC also created an Offender Advocacy Unit in 2023. This team focuses on including offender voices and improving overall well-being. If your concerns are broader (conditions, quality of care), this unit was built to address those issues.

This guide covers ODOC-level contacts only. For Dick Connor-specific phone numbers, call the ODOC main office at 405-425-2500 and ask to be routed to the facility. For family support, remember that the Community Outreach Unit is ODOC's designated resource for offender families.
One thing to know if you're sending money through Access Corrections: chargebacks cause problems fast. When an unauthorized transaction triggers a chargeback, Access Corrections charges a $25 account reactivation fee. The inmate's account gets restricted until that fee is paid and Access Corrections is reimbursed. ODOC notes that chargebacks must be paid by money order only (per Access Corrections policy).
