Common Questions
Q
Can I send printed photos to an inmate, and are there limits?
Printed photos may be allowed, but they still have to follow the facility’s mail rules and may be processed through a scanning program. Carter County prohibits mail materials that include lipstick, lip gloss, or scents, and Oklahoma DOC policy says routine mail can be electronically processed and scanned by a contracted vendor. Washita County also notes mail is subject to restrictions for threatening or offensive material.
Q
How do I set up a remote video visit with an Oklahoma county jail inmate?
Follow the vendor instructions posted by that jail, then create an account, select the correct facility and inmate, and choose a time. Payne County tells visitors to register for a direct-pay account at CityTeleCoin.com, and says remote video visitation is allowed daily. Carter County lists similar scheduling steps through NCIC: create an account, select the Carter County facility, select the inmate, then choose the date and time.
Q
What are the main ways to add money to an inmate's account in Oklahoma?
Common options include online deposits, lobby kiosks, and online commissary orders, but the exact method depends on the facility. Payne County says deposits may be made online or through a kiosk located in the lobby at the sheriff’s office. Carter County describes online commissary ordering through Tiger Commissary, including searching by the inmate’s last name and following prompts to add items and check out.
Q
Are there limits on inmate account balances or money order deposits?
Yes, limits can apply depending on the system you are using. Oklahoma DOC states inmate accounts are limited to holding $99,999,999.99. For JPay money order deposits in Oklahoma, the form lists a maximum single money order amount of $999.99.
