Oklahoma Inmate Search

Oklahoma holds state prisoners under the Oklahoma Department of Corrections at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary in McAlester, the Joseph Harp Correctional Center and the Lexington Assessment and Reception Center, the Mabel Bassett Correctional Center for women in McLoud, Dick Conner, James Crabtree, Jackie Brannon, Mack Alford, North Fork in Sayre, and the Red Rock Correctional Center in Lawton and the Davis Correctional Facility in Holdenville, both former private prisons the state now runs itself. County jails run by the 77 sheriffs hold pretrial detainees and misdemeanor sentences, and the Oklahoma County Detention Center in Oklahoma City and the Tulsa County jail are the largest.

The ODOC Offender Lookup is the state search. It covers people in prison, people on probation and parole supervised by the Department and people discharged in recent years.

Official sources on this page were checked on September 25, 2026.

The Oklahoma Offender Lookup runs on the DOC number or the name and returns the DOC number, name, photograph, date of birth, race and sex, the facility or the supervising district office, the status, each offense with the county, case number, sentence and the sentence date, the projected release date and the parole eligibility date. Because supervision cases and recent discharges are included, the lookup confirms both current custody and releases.

The Oklahoma County Detention Center posts an inmate search with booking dates, charges and bond, as do the Tulsa County Sheriff for the David L. Moss Criminal Justice Center, the Cleveland County Detention Center in Norman, the Comanche County Detention Center in Lawton, the Canadian County jail in El Reno, the Rogers County jail in Claremore and the Wagoner County jail. Oklahoma City Police and Tulsa Police book into the county jail, and the Oklahoma Highway Patrol books into the county jail of the arrest.

The Oklahoma Open Records Act, 51 O.S. section 24A.1 and following, makes the custody record public, and the Offender Lookup posts photographs, offenses, sentences and release dates. Sheriffs release booking photos. Medical and mental health records, the pre-sentence investigation, classification and disciplinary files and Pardon and Parole Board case files are exempt. The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation sells a name based criminal history to anyone for a fee, and the Oklahoma State Courts Network posts free dockets for district courts statewide.

The Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board reviews eligible prisoners on a monthly docket and recommends parole, commutation and pardons to the Governor, who makes the final decision for violent offenses. The Department's Division of Community Corrections supervises parolees and probationers from district offices, which is why supervision cases appear in the Offender Lookup. Oklahoma requires 85 percent of the sentence to be served for listed violent crimes. The judgment sits with the court clerk of the district court of the convicting county.

If the Oklahoma lookup returns nothing, check the Oklahoma County Detention Center search for an Oklahoma City arrest, the Tulsa County jail for Tulsa or the roster for the county of arrest, since pending cases and misdemeanor sentences stay in the jail. Check OSCN for the case, the federal Bureau of Prisons locator for a federal case, including the federal transfer center in Oklahoma City, and VINELink for a recent release.
