The Cotton County Jail is a small holding facility that is used by the sheriff's office and surrounding police departments in Walters, Oklahoma. As a temporary holding facility, it is the first stop for any and all offenders who are arrested in the immediate area. Each new arrest is taken there for booking, where they will submit to a photograph, fingerprinting, recording of identifying marks, and a full record of the arrest including where and why they were arrested is created. Once this is completed, they officially begin their stay in the facility that has a capacity of only 30. This facility is for holding newly arrested detainees and only very short sentences are served at this location. For this reason, there are fewer programs and capabilities at this facility, however it does ensure the safety of the inmates and staff as well as provide balanced meals for the entirety of their stay. It is considered to be medium security, as it must house all arrestees in the safest way possible. Anyone serving a long sentence or who is high risk for violence is transferred to the larger jail that serves the county. Friends and family can receive phone calls from inmates, and can visit them online and in person when possible, to ensure their safety and remain connected. Visits are allowed Monday to Friday from 9am until 6pm only.

3. Bail can be posted for their release; call 580- 875-3383 for the exact bail amount.

How Do You Deposit Money for an Inmate in the Cotton County Jail?

There are three choices for putting money on an inmate's books:

Choice 1 - Dropping Money at the Jail

Ask the jail whether it takes deposits in person before you go.

Call Cotton County Jail to ask whether it has a Tiger kiosk for cash or card deposits, and where it is.

Choice 2 - Deposit Inmate Money Online

Tiger Commissary's online site lists the services set up for each jail, such as commissary orders or deposits.

Go to Tiger's online site, pick the state and the jail, and see which services it offers there.

Choice 3 - Mail the Inmate Deposit to the Jail

Mailing a deposit takes more time to process than the other methods but can be done if you live too far away to bring it in person and you don't have a debit/credit card for online deposits. Never send cash. Always send a Money Order from the US Post Office, a reputable bank or Western Union.

Call Cotton County Jail at 580- 875-3383 to confirm the address to send the money order to and how they want it made out.

Failure to do this properly will delay your inmate getting his account credited and may require you to have to resubmit a second money order.
