Moore City Jail

The Sheriff's Office links its current inmate search from its Detention Center web page. Work through it like this:

1. Open the inmate search on your phone or a computer.
2. Start with the last name. If the list is long, narrow it with the first name.
3. Compare the birth date or age to be sure you found your person.
4. Copy the Jail ID number, plus any charge or bond the record lists.
5. Nothing yet? Try again in a few hours, because a fresh booking takes time.

If the page won't open, or a record is hard to read, the Detention Center answers at 405-701-7700. Front reception is 405-701-7701.

Most of the time, the reason is one of these:

• Booking isn't done. Intake, including a health screening, comes first.
• They already left. Once release papers reach the jail, people are usually out within 1 to 3 hours.
• Another county has them. An arrest close to the county line can end up in a neighbor's jail.
• Federal or immigration custody. A federal hold can take the person to another place.
• Age. A minor is booked into a youth center, not this jail.
• A spelling problem. Try their middle name, a nickname, or a last name they used before.

The Sheriff's Records unit can help at 405-701-8800. When a city force made the arrest, its police department may know more, for example Moore police at 405-793-5171.

Adults arrested in this county normally stay at the Detention Center on Franklin Road. If the arrest happened across a border, or another county has a warrant out, look at these jails:

• Oklahoma County Detention Center, 201 North Shartel Avenue, Oklahoma City, OK 73102, 405-907-1930. Oklahoma County lies just north.
• McClain County Jail, to the south. Its JE page lists the address and phone.
• Pottawatomie County Jail, to the east. Its JE page lists the address and phone.
• Canadian County Jail, to the west. Its JE page lists the address and phone.

Not sure where to start? Ask the Sheriff's Office at 405-701-8888 whether the person was ever booked here or moved out.

To ask for a booking photo, often called a mugshot, contact the Sheriff's Records unit at 405-701-8800. Ask how to make the request and whether there is a fee. Reporters use the same office.

• Photos ICE took are released only through ICE's online records request form.
• Federal agencies keep their mugshots private. Only the U.S. Marshals Service sometimes makes one public, for instance to catch a fugitive.

Private mugshot websites are not official sources, so check any photo or charge you see there against the jail's own records.

Oklahoma's statewide alert system is OK VINE, which the Attorney General's office runs for crime victims. Search for the person on VINELink, or register by phone at 877-654-8463. Once registered, you get notices without having to keep checking.

• VINE shows custody status and location. It sends alerts on a transfer, an escape, a release or a death.
• Parole is outside what it covers.
• A move from county custody into the Department of Corrections brings a new ID number, so you may have to register a second time.

For the surest answer about a release from this jail today, call 405-701-7700.

Nearly everyone facing state charges can get bail. Under the state Constitution, a judge may hold someone without bail only on certain grave charges, and only when the evidence is strong and a judge decides the public would not be safe under any release terms (Okla. Const. art. II § 8). In short:

• A District Court judge sets the bond on state charges. The Court Clerk is at 405-321-6402.
• Bond can be cash, a licensed bondsman, a property pledge, or a signed promise to appear.
• Anyone held on a repeat DUI stays in until a judge signs off on bail with written reasons (HB 1222).
• Oklahoma City city charges often bring a no-cash Conditional O.R. Bond.
• Expect a wait of 1 to 3 hours after the release paperwork arrives.

Amounts, places to pay and bondsman rules are on our bail and release guide.

The jail is the first stop. Staff at 405-701-7700 can read you the booking charge. A formal charge follows, once the District Attorney files the case.

Filed cases appear on the Oklahoma State Courts Network, the case site the Court Clerk links. Have the case number or the person's name ready. The clerk's office is at 200 S. Peters Ave., Norman, OK 73069.

Prosecutors for this county work in the District 21 District Attorney's office, 201 S. Jones, Suite 300, Norman, OK 73069, 405-321-8268. Charges may be added or dropped as the case moves, so look at the court record again before each hearing.

Anyone facing possible jail has a right to a lawyer. If the person can't pay, they can get the free-lawyer form from a jail officer. A judge reviews their money and decides.

• Hand the completed form to the Court Clerk, who can answer questions at 405-321-6402.
• The Court Fund charges $40 for it, and the person may ask to pay it once the case closes.
• Appointed lawyers come from the Oklahoma Indigent Defense System office at 111 N. Peters Ave, Suite 500, Norman, OK 73069, 405-801-2655.

The family may also pay for a private defense attorney. Either kind of lawyer can push for lower bail and walk the person through each decision.

All visits at the Detention Center are by video or phone screen. There are no face-to-face or contact visits, and visits may be watched and recorded.

• When: Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. No visits on weekends or holidays.
• Booking: schedule at least one business day ahead by phone at 800-943-2189 or on the jail's video visit service. No walk-ins.
• Missed visits: a missed or canceled visit blocks new bookings until the next week.
• Arrival: come 15 minutes early. Visits last up to 30 minutes, and a late check-in cuts your time.
• ID: bring a valid state photo ID with a name that matches your booking.
• Who can't visit: anyone jailed in the last 90 days.
• Children: visitors under 18 need approval at the inmate's request and can't be left alone in the lobby.
• Dress: wear a full shirt, no low-cut tops, and leave phones and recording devices behind.

Clergy with proof of ordination and a driver's license may visit any time of day, any day. More tips are on our visiting page.

The Detention Center takes deposits two ways:

• Online, through the deposit service the Sheriff's Office links on its website.
• At the lobby kiosk inside the Detention Center, 2550 W. Franklin Road, Norman, OK 73069, during business hours. The kiosk takes cash or a credit card for phone account deposits.

Have the full name and Jail ID number ready. The same company runs commissary and food, so deposits flow through one system. Ask the jail at 405-701-7700 about limits and fees.

Never mail cash. Read our money deposit guide, and see what the account can buy on our commissary page.

Under state jail rules, every newly booked inmate may make at least two local or collect calls (OAC 310:670-5-1). Every call past those two is billed through the jail's phone account system.

• To receive calls, open an account at 800-943-2189.
• Messages cost $0.25 each, and a photo or document costs $0.35. They arrive right away, and the person reads them on a kiosk in the cell area.
• The jail bought 550 tablets for schoolwork and family contact.

Save any talk about the charges for conversations with the lawyer. More help is on our jail phone guide and the inmate messaging page.

Personal letters skip the Norman building. A scanning center opens them, sends the person a digital copy, and destroys the paper. Address them like this:

• Inmate Name, Jail ID #, Cleveland County Jail, PO Box 591, Longview, TX 75606

Rules for personal mail:

• The envelope must show the person's name, Jail ID number and your return address.
• Send no more than 5 pages, 8.5 by 11 inches, written on the front side only.
• Include only 1 photo. More than one sends the whole letter back.
• Books, magazines and newspapers are refused at the PO Box and must go to the jail.

Legal and medical mail goes to Cleveland County Detention Center, 2550 W Franklin Rd, Norman, OK 73069. Under state rules, staff may open legal mail only while the inmate watches (OAC 310:670-5-9). See our inmate mail page for more.

Anything the person carried at booking goes into jail storage. At release, staff confirm the person's identity, compare their things with the intake inventory, and get a signature (OAC 310:670-5-1).

If the owner is still in custody and you want their things, phone 405-701-7700. Ask whether staff need the person's written OK and what ID you should carry. Then go to 2550 W. Franklin Road, Norman, OK 73069.

A car towed after the arrest is held by the towing company. Contact them directly, not the Sheriff's Office.

Oklahoma law requires jails to provide adequate care for sickness or injury that happens from arrest onward (74 O.S. § 192). State jail rules require:

• a health screening right away at intake
• clear steps for asking for care
• a nurse or doctor sees the person within 48 hours once they ask in writing, or sooner if it's urgent (OAC 310:670-5-8)

Worried about a health problem or missed medicine? Call 405-701-7700 and tell staff the name of each medicine, the daily amount, and how to reach the prescribing doctor. Mental health and recovery partners, such as Red Rock Behavioral Health Services, work with the jail. In an emergency, call 911.

Each step from arrest to sentencing is explained in our court guide.

A federal arrest in this county leads to the federal courthouse at 200 NW 4th Street, Oklahoma City, OK 73102, 405-609-5000.

1. A federal judge holds a detention hearing early in the case to decide on release (18 U.S.C. 3142).
2. Federal prisoners awaiting trial are in the Marshals' care. The Marshals' Oklahoma City office at 405-231-4206 can say where the person is.
3. Some people stay at the Federal Transfer Center, 7410 S. MacArthur Boulevard, Oklahoma City, OK 73169, 405-682-4075.
4. After sentencing, use the BOP inmate locator, searchable by name or by federal register number.

An immigration hold at this jail follows the national process:

1. Immigration agents lodge Form I-247A, a detainer, at the Detention Center.
2. The jail may keep the person past release. Federal rules set the limit (8 CFR 287.7(d)): up to 48 hours after they would otherwise be released.
3. Within that time, immigration officers can collect the person.
4. Oklahoma is handled by ICE's Dallas Field Office, 8101 N. Stemmons Frwy, Dallas, TX 75247, 972-367-2200. The ICE office in Oklahoma City is at 1220 Sovereign Row, Oklahoma City, OK 73108, 405-219-3199.
5. One common placement is the Cimarron Correctional Facility, 3200 S. Kings Hwy., Cushing, OK 74023. Its detainee information line is 918-225-3336, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
6. Find the person on the ICE detainee search.

Oklahoma's HB 4156 (21 O.S. § 1795) made unlawful presence a state crime, but it has been frozen by court order since May 2025. A lawyer can explain where it stands today.

A state prison sentence usually means 6 to 9 more months in the county jail first. The Department of Corrections (DOC) then moves the person to a reception center for assessment, where staff set a custody level and choose a fitting prison.

• Search the state's DOC Offender Lookup by name.
• Our Oklahoma state prisons page describes each prison.
• For questions about one person, DOC points families to that person's case manager. If you don't know the name, phone the prison and ask its records officer.
• DOC's main number is 405-425-2500.

Teens under 18 are sent to juvenile detention rather than the Franklin Road jail. State rules let an adult jail keep a youth six hours at the most, and never mixed in with grown-up prisoners (OAC 310:670-5-5).

This county's youth cases are handled by the state Office of Juvenile Affairs, 1650 W. Tecumseh Rd., Suite 300, Norman, OK 73069, 405-360-4310, weekdays 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The county's regional youth center is the Alan J. Couch Juvenile Detention Center. Phone OJA to learn where the teen is staying and when a judge will see them.
