About Oklahoma Department of Corrections

The Oklahoma Department of Corrections is a unit within the Oklahoma state with its headquarters in Oklahoma City, US.

The Oklahoma Department of Public Safety oversees justice in the unit’s 23 correctional facilities throughout the state.

Besides that, it has one federal prison camp and three independent federal prisons. Oklahoma DOC’s primary mission is to safeguard staff and the public.

In addition, it protects the offenders and inmates confined within its operation area.

In 1890, the Oklahoma State Governor signed a contractual agreement with Kansas State. The principal aim was to manage Oklahoma incarcerated criminals. Later, prisoners moved from Lansing, Kansas, to a temporary shelter in McAlester, Oklahoma.

This transfer came because of the high population and costs. There were also complaints of convicts' mistreatment. However, in 1967, Oklahoma formed a new DOC state to run its prisons.

Oklahoma was a unique state with Kate Barnard. She was its first Commissioner of Charities and Corrections. History shows, she was also the first woman elected in Oklahoma State office.

By 2021, the unit had an incarceration rate of 1,079 per 100,000 people. This lock-up rate is high when compared to other states. Hence, why approximately 4500 staff have a strict mandate to watch over 26500 inmates.

You can still follow or trace an inmate within any state in the US. However, the state database system excludes results from jails and federal facilities.

When offenders start their sentence after trial, prisons lock up the lawbreakers. Some move to other facilities. This movement causes pain and separation among their family and friends. But, all is not lost!

For this reason, the institution established a free online system. The doc offender locator is fast and straightforward, unlike other manual methods.

However, there are prior details you need to have before accessing the information. So, are you struggling to find an imprisoned inmate? Look no further than this free online tool for a doc inmate search.

However, before you proceed, you need to accept their terms and conditions.
