Question 2

About the Midwest City Jail

Answer

Midwest City Jail is a jail that is operated solely for the purposes of the city itself, and accepts only those who are arrested by the Midwest City Police and on occasion those who are arrested in nearby municipalities. To house those who are from lcoal municipalities, there must be an existing agreement in place before the arrest occurs. Federal inmates are rarely housed here, and are only found in the facility in special circumstances. This facility follows all the regulations set out by the Oklahoma Department of Corrections and works alongside the Oklahoma Department of Health, Domiciliary Facilities Service, Jail Inspection Division, and local authorities. Staff are focused on providing a safe, clean, sanitary, and professional environment for all inmates who are awaiting trial or serving a sentence. A special program has been instituted that is designed to reduce recidivism rates and to help inmates to find ways to prevent a return in future. This can include crisis intervention, mental health support, substance abuse treatment, and more. Another attempt to offer mental health and outside support to inmates includes mail and the provision of items for writing letters, books to read, and their own underwear and socks. Items may be taken to the jail any time, even during a visitation period, allowing items to be dropped off around a planned visit. Visiting hours are permitted on Saturday and Sunday from 1:30pm to 4:30pm.
