Oklahoma Inmate Search

Oklahoma inmate records show official information concerning individuals booked into county jails, persons incarcerated in correctional centers, and state penitentiaries. Typical inmate records in Oklahoma contain:

• The inmate’s full name and known aliases

• The inmate’s biographical details, such as the date of birth, gender, and other information
• The inmate’s mugshot

How To Find An Inmate In Oklahoma?

Anyone may find records for persons incarcerated in the state correctional facilities and penitentiaries via an online resource on the Oklahoma Department of Corrections (ODOC) Platform. The ODOC is tasked with managing the state’s maximum, medium, minimum, and community prisons and correctional institutions. The ODOC’s Offender Lookup tool allows users to find inmates by providing the Oklahoma DOC inmate number or name. Although the inmate’s full name is not compulsory, providing the full name and the birth date may help users find an inmate faster. The offender lookup tool also allows users to find inmates with known aliases matching the provided data and inmates with similar-sounding names.

The resulting search page shows inmates with records matching the information provided. Also revealed in the search result listing are the inmate’s gender, race, birth date, and holding facility. Select the inmate’s ODOC number to view additional inmate information on the personalized page. On the inmate's personalized pages, requesters may find information such as mugshot, conviction date, term, reception date, discharge date, the sentencing court, current facility, and other physical descriptors.

The ODOC also makes all available public data on inmates accessible as a single download. Note that private data such as health records, social security numbers, or inmate banking information are not available in the single-file download. Standard database management software may be required to use the downloaded material.

Interested persons may also access closed records of inmates on an online tool provided by the ODOC. Requesters may search for these records via the Closed Records search tool by providing an inmate’s DOC number.

Several counties and police departments in Oklahoma provide online tools to find inmates in county and police jails. For example, the Cleveland County Sheriff’s Office, Comanche County Sheriff’s Office, Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Office, Tulsa County Sheriff’s Office, and the Creek County Sheriff’s Office provide online access to find inmates in their custody.

How To Find A Federal Inmate In Oklahoma?

Oklahoma has three federal prisons. Interested parties may locate inmates in these facilities through the Inmate Locator tool on the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) website. All federal inmates currently serving sentences in Oklahoma are registered on this database. The public may also locate a federal inmate incarcerated from 1982 to the present via the BOP website. Due to the First Step Act, information about an inmate’s release date may not be up-to-date, as the sentences may be reviewed under the Act’s provisions.

To find federal inmates via the BOP tool, users typically provide the inmate’s full name or number. Users may also provide optional inmate information such as race, sex, and age to obtain a more accurate result. Four types of inmate numbers may be used to find a federal inmate via the BOP tool:

• Bureau of Prisons (BOP) register number
• D.C. Department of Corrections (DCDC) number
• Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) number
• Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) number

To find records of federal inmates released before 1982, requests should be directed to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). To aid NARA in determining whether the information is available, requesters may need to include the following information in their requests:

• Inmate’s full name, including middle name or initial
• Inmate’s date of birth or approximate age at incarceration
• Inmates race
• Approximate dates in prison.

Records that are considered public may be accessible from some third-party websites. Operating independently of any federal, state, or local agency, such websites may simplify the search process as they are not limited by geographic location. In addition, third-party sites typically have search engines that can be used to filter specific or multiple records. To use third-party or government websites, interested parties may need to provide:

• The name of the person involved in the record, unless said person is a juvenile
• The location or assumed location of the record or person involved. This includes information such as the city, county, or state that the person resides in or was accused in

However, third-party sites are independent of government sources and are not sponsored by these government agencies. Because of this, record availability cannot be guaranteed.

How to Put Money on Inmates' Books In Oklahoma?

Family and friends may send money to an Oklahoma inmate’s trust fund in person or by:

Persons sending funds are required to have certain inmate information handy, such as the inmate’s full name, the inmate’s identification number (DOC number), and the sender’s name. Generally, checks or money orders without the necessary information on the memo line are returned to the sender. Note that a cashier’s check or money order is the only accepted form of sending funds to an inmate’s account.
