How to Visit Eddie Warrior Corr. Center (EWCC) (OK)

EWCC follows Oklahoma Department of Corrections (ODOC) visitation rules. These rules set the baseline for everything: what you can bring, how approval works, and what to expect during your visit.

Be prepared for a pat search. Staff search all inmates and visitors before visitation begins, so factor that into your check-in time.

Bringing a child? You'll need documentation proving your relationship and permission to bring them. EWCC requires guardianship verification for minors, such as a birth certificate, court papers, or adoption documents.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Submit a Visitor Application Form before you try to visit. Paper forms are accepted at ODOC headquarters.
• ✓ If you are 18 or older, plan for a required background check. Approval can take up to eight weeks.

1. Wait for approval and confirmation. The inmate will notify you when your background check is complete and will notify you of the scheduled date and time for visitation.
2. Arrive ready for screening. Before visitation, expect pat searches for both visitors and inmates.

• ✓ If a minor is visiting with you, bring documentation that verifies guardianship (such as birth certificates or court or adoption papers).

Before starting, confirm how to submit the Visitor Application Form and whether paper applications are still accepted at ODOC headquarters. Ask about current background-check timelines too. If you're 18 or older, the process can take up to eight weeks.

Find out how you'll learn you've been approved. ODOC expects the inmate to notify you once the background check clears and share your scheduled visitation date and time. Ask what that notification looks like in practice for your situation.
