About the Ellis County Jail
The Oklahoma Department of Corrections oversees the regulations and the ability to operate within those regulations of the Ellis County Jail. This facility is located in city of Arnett, Oklahoma, and is a small holding facility that houses detainees shortly after their arrest until their arraignment or initial court appearance. They are released when they make bail or after they have served their sentence, which at this facility are often a year or less. It holds around 100 inmates, most of whom have not yet had their preliminary hearing. While it supports reintegration to society after their release, it does not have the full programming that is available at larger facilities. Safety is a large concern at this jail, as it is at any jail, but it is not built to be a maximum security jail so those detainees that are determined to require the additional security measures or programs are transferred to alternative facilities. An inmate lookup is available online, however, with many of the stays being short it can be more reliable to call the facility directly to determine if a friend or loved one is being held in the facility. Inmates are allowed to make phone calls out, to both their legal team and their family. Maintaining contact with family or with close friends can help to improve the chances of success after release, and some offenders are kept in their own county to serve their full sentence to allow outside relationships to continue. Visits are booked through intouch.ncic.com and can be scheduled on Tuesdays through Saturdays from noon until 8pm. Outgoing phone calls are supported within general popuation and can be made from 10 am until 10 pm on wedkdays and as late as 12:30 am on weekends. ncic.com allows for a preparid account to be created for these calls.

Inmate Money Accounts

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

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

Choice 1 - Dropping Money at the Jail

Bring money to the jail in person. 

Jail personnel will process the Inmate Account payment.

Ellis County Jail has a Tiger Kiosk in the Lobby that accepts cash, debit or credit cards.

If you can't get your questions answered online call the Ellis County Jail at 580-885-7377.

Choice 2 - Deposit Inmate Money Online

Ellis County Jail and others often use a private company to process all online deposits to an inmate's account. The company charges you a small fee for doing so, but the fee probably isn't as much as gas and parking would cost to take it to the jail in person.

Go to the online site for depositing funds. You will need to register an account, which is free to do and use a debit/credit card for the deposits.

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.

Make the Money Order out to the inmate's name and put their Inmate ID# in memo section of the Money Order.

Call Ellis County Jail at 580-885-7377 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.

Call 580-885-7377 to ask facility personnel who to make the money order out to, and where to send it.
