How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Visiting at Oklahoma State Penitentiary starts with getting approved. Submit the ODOC Visitor Application Form online or by mail. If you use a paper form, send it to ODOC headquarters addressed to the Visitation Unit PO Box. Do not address or return forms to the inmate. Visitors age 18 and older must pass a background check, and the process can take up to eight weeks. Your visit isn't confirmed until a facility team member calls you back. The inmate gets notified once approval is complete and a visit is scheduled. Include a copy of the front and back of your driver's license or state ID with your request, and bring acceptable photo ID when you arrive. Expect security screening, including pat searches and presumed consent to vehicle searches. Bringing minors? You'll need guardianship documentation and required signatures. Kids over 11 follow the adult dress code.
