Lawton Correctional Facility, OK

Lawton Correctional Facility doesn't accept mailed or dropped-off personal property—no radios, clothing, or toiletries. If your loved one needs approved items, they'll have to purchase them through commissary. For routine, non-legal letters, many Oklahoma facilities use a vendor that scans incoming mail and delivers it electronically to inmate kiosks or tablets. When sending a letter, write the inmate's full name and include a booking/ID number if you have it. Put your complete return address on the envelope. Legal or privileged mail gets handled differently—it may be delivered unopened or opened only in the inmate's presence. Follow facility rules for clearly marking legal mail. If mail is scanned, the original paper may be retained or destroyed based on the vendor's policy. Check with the facility if you need originals preserved.

Lawton Correctional Facility lets you deposit funds online to an inmate's commissary account using their name or ID number. This covers commissary purchases and phone or video costs. For bond questions, some bail can be posted at the Comanche County Detention Center when the courthouse is closed—cash, cashier's check, or money order work for eligible arrests. Some offenses have extra restrictions: offenses labeled 10, 11, and 12 (including DUI and public intoxication) require an 8-hour wait after booking before bail eligibility. They may also be ineligible if there's personal injury or other disqualifying factors. The listed bond for DUI/Actual Physical Control is $1,000. Weekend bond release applies only to misdemeanors, not felonies. Call 580-250-1902 with case-specific questions.

If an inmate has personal items that aren't allowed in their possession, the facility secures that property in a locked area during incarceration and returns it upon release. A family member may be allowed to pick up an inmate's personal property, but only with written permission from the inmate. These requests are reviewed case-by-case and require administrator approval.
