Mail, photos, messaging, and phone/call options for staying in touch.
You can stay in touch with someone at John H. Lilley Correctional Center through phone calls, video visits, or electronic messaging, depending on the facility's approved vendors and rules. Video visitation must be scheduled at least 48 hours in advance and follows the same rules as in-person visits. To register for video visits, you'll need a valid photo ID: a U.S. driver license or state ID, an active U.S. military ID, a passport, or a consulate ID. Phone contact is typically handled through outgoing calls placed by the person inside. Calls are usually recorded and billed through vendor options. Do not bring a cellphone or other electronic communication device into secure areas. This is a felony and can carry penalties of up to two years in prison and/or a fine up to $2,500. Use published ODOC contact information for phone or mailing details.

Contacting someone who's incarcerated usually starts with getting approved for visitation, then following the facility's scheduling rules. Here are the key rules and the simplest way to work through them without wasted trips or denied visits.
Applying to visit someone at John Lilley Center? Mail your visitor application to the Oklahoma Department of Corrections (ODOC) Visitation Unit at headquarters—not to the inmate or the facility itself.
Schedule video visits at least 48 hours in advance. You'll typically create an account with the facility's approved video vendor, select the facility and the person you want to visit, then book a session through the vendor's site or app. The same rules as in-person visits apply.
You'll need a valid, unexpired photo ID: a U.S. driver license or state ID, an active U.S. military ID, a passport, or a consulate ID.
