The following is a summary of the Oklahoma state prison system:

Overview

The Oklahoma Department of Corrections (ODOC) oversees the state prison system in Oklahoma. As of 2021, Oklahoma had the 3rd highest incarceration rate in the United States at 639 prisoners per 100,000 residents.[1] The system consists of 24 facilities, including minimum, medium, and maximum security prisons, community corrections centers, and halfway houses.[2]

Locating a Prisoner

To locate an inmate in the Oklahoma prison system, you can use the ODOC’s online Offender Lookup tool. It allows you to search by name, DOC number, race, gender, and date of birth.[3]

Visitation Rules

Visitation rules vary by facility, but generally, inmates are allowed visits from immediate family members and approved friends during designated visiting hours. Visitors must be approved in advance and follow strict rules regarding dress code, behavior, and items allowed.[2]

Security Levels

Oklahoma prisons are classified into four security levels [2]

Maximum Security: Housing the most dangerous offenders
Medium Security: Housing inmates with moderate risk levels
Minimum Security: Housing low-risk offenders nearing release
Community Corrections: Providing supervised reentry programs

Parole

The Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board considers factors such as the nature of the offense, prior criminal history, conduct while incarcerated, and victim input when making parole decisions. Inmates must serve a certain percentage of their sentence before becoming eligible for parole, depending on their offense.[4]

Mental Health, Educational, and Vocational Programs:

The Oklahoma Department of Corrections offers several types of rehabilitative programs to help inmates develop skills, address substance abuse and mental health issues, and reduce the likelihood of recidivism.

Examples include:

Substance Abuse Treatment: ODOC provides substance abuse education and treatment programs, such as the Residential Programs
Substance Abuse Treatment: (RSAT) program, which is a 6-12 month intensive treatment program for inmates with a history of substance abuse.
Mental Health Treatment: ODOC offers mental health services, including individual and group therapy, for inmates with mental health needs. The department also has a Special Needs Unit for inmates with serious mental illnesses.[2]
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT programs help inmates develop problem-solving, decision-making, and coping skills to change negative thought patterns and behaviors.
Vocational Training: ODOC provides vocational training in areas such as welding, carpentry, and horticulture to help inmates develop job skills and increase their employability upon release.
Education Programs: Inmates can access adult basic education, GED preparation, and college courses through partnerships with local colleges and universities. ODOC also offers a Literacy Program to improve inmates’ reading skills.
Faith-Based Programs: ODOC collaborates with faith-based organizations to provide religious services, mentoring, and support programs for inmates seeking spiritual guidance and personal growth.
