How to Visit Washita County Jail (OK)

Washita County Jail holds in-person visitation on Monday and Friday mornings from 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM. All visits are non-contact, so expect to communicate through the jail's designated setup rather than sitting face-to-face.

Before you can visit, the inmate needs to submit a visitor form through a jail officer. That form lists names, addresses, and birthdates of the people the inmate wants to see. Only visitors approved by jail staff are allowed in. A few limits to keep in mind: inmates can have up to six approved visitors total, but only three of those can visit on any given visitation day. Each visitor gets one 10-minute visit per week, either Monday or Friday.

Children under 18 can visit, but they must be accompanied by an adult. Traveling from out of state? The jail allows a one-time special visit outside normal visitation hours, but you need permission from the Jail Administrator first. Call during normal business hours before you arrive to request it.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Make sure the inmate has completed the visitor form through a jail officer, listing your name, address, and date of birth.
• ✓ Confirm you are on the inmate’s approved visitation list (up to six people total).
• ✓ Plan your group size carefully since only three approved visitors can visit on a given visitation day.
• ✓ Keep expectations realistic: each approved visitor gets one visit per week, and the visit is limited to 10 minutes (on either Monday or Friday).

• ✓ Go during the in-person visitation window: Monday and Friday mornings, 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM.
• ✓ Be prepared for a non-contact visit only.

• ✓ If you are coming from out of state and need a one-time special visit outside normal hours, call the Jail Administrator during normal business hours before you travel to request permission.
• ✓ If you were recently in custody at this jail, wait at least 30 days after your release date before trying to visit someone currently incarcerated.

Before you head over, confirm the current visitation window (Monday and Friday, 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM). If you're an out-of-state visitor hoping for a one-time special visit outside regular hours, call the Jail Administrator during normal business hours to get approval before you make the trip.

It's also worth confirming a few details that could get you turned away at the door. Ask how the inmate should fill out the visitor form and whether any changes to the approved list are being handled a certain way. Double-check the limit of six approved visitors (with only three allowed per visitation day) and the one 10-minute visit per week per visitor. Bringing kids? Verify that anyone under 18 must be with an adult. And if you've been in custody at Washita County Sheriff's Office Jail yourself, confirm the 30-day waiting period after release before attempting to visit someone still incarcerated there.
