How to Contact an Inmate at Washita County Jail (OK)

In-person visitation at Washita County Jail happens on Monday and Friday mornings, 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM. Each approved visitor gets one 10-minute non-contact visit per week, and it has to fall on one of those two days.

The process starts on the inmate's end. They need to fill out a visitor form listing each visitor's name, address, and date of birth, then return it to a Jail Officer. An inmate can have up to six people on their visitation list, but only three approved visitors can come on any single visitation day. Adding someone new or making changes to the list requires approval from the Jail Administrator.

Planning to bring a child? Anyone under 18 must be accompanied by an adult to visit.

For phone calls, video visitation, and commissary, Washita County Jail uses City Tele Coin. On the mail side, the jail receives and delivers mail Monday through Saturday (except holidays). All incoming and outgoing mail is opened and checked for illegal items or contraband. Mail from attorneys, courts, or elected officials is opened in the inmate's presence.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Have the inmate request a visitor form from a Jail Officer and complete it with each visitor’s name, address, and date of birth.
• ✓ Return the completed form to a Jail Officer.
• ✓ If you need to be added later, or if any details need to be changed, make sure the inmate seeks approval for additions or changes through the Jail Administrator.

• ✓ Plan for in-person visitation on Monday or Friday between 8:00 AM and 11:00 AM.
• ✓ Keep expectations realistic: each approved visitor gets one 10-minute non-contact visit per week, scheduled on either Monday or Friday.

• ✓ Coordinate with the inmate’s approved list before you go.
• ✓ Even if there are up to six approved names on the list, no more than three approved visitors can visit on any visitation day.

• ✓ If you are traveling from out of state and need a special visit outside normal hours, call the Jail Administrator during normal business hours before arriving.
• ✓ Do not assume a special visit is automatic. It requires one-time permission from the Jail Administrator.

• ✓ If children under 18 will be visiting, bring an adult to accompany them. Minors cannot visit on their own.

• ✓ Use City Tele Coin for the jail’s visitation services, inmate phone, video visitation, and commissary services.
• ✓ If you are writing, plan around the mail schedule: mail is received and delivered Monday through Saturday (except holidays).
• ✓ Expect inspection: incoming and outgoing mail is regularly opened and checked for illegal items or contraband.
• ✓ Know the exception: mail from attorneys, courts, or elected officials is opened in the inmate’s presence.

Before you make the trip, confirm the current visitation schedule (Monday and Friday, 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM) and the weekly limit of one 10-minute non-contact visit per approved visitor. If you need an out-of-state special visit, get the Jail Administrator's permission before you arrive.

It's also worth confirming the visitor approval process. The rules allow up to six people on the inmate's list, but only three can visit on any given day. Everything hinges on a completed visitor form. If you're being added to the list or any details need updating, check with the Jail Administrator on how approvals are being handled.

Vendor contracts can change, so verify that City Tele Coin is still the provider for phone, video visitation, and commissary services. You should also confirm the mail schedule and any holiday exceptions, since mail runs Monday through Saturday (except holidays) and is screened for contraband.
