Miami, Oklahoma has the Ottawa County Jail as their local jail and processing center. They currently have 115 inmates, and their online listing is updated every hour to provide the most accurate information to victims and loved ones alike. The VINE system is also in use, allowing victims to learn updates about offenders and even receive a notification if the state of their custody changes and before a potential release. This system is to help victims to feel safe as well as to help family or friends to locate their loved ones after an arrest. All information is available both online and at a toll free number.

Once all rules have been reviewed on the website, an account is created, and visits can be scheduled during the daytime hours between 7 am and 10 pm. No unscheduled visits will be provided. If either the inmate or the visitor breaks any of the rules, including the dress code or discussing illegal activities, the visit may be ended, and future visits may be restricted. Visitation privileges may be revoked due to bad behavior at any time. Tiger Correctional Services not only provides the video visitation, but also the commissary accounts allowing family or friends to add money to the accounts so the inmate may make phone calls and purchase items from the commissary.

How does the booking process work at Ottawa County Jail?

Once someone is arrested, they are taken to Ottawa County Jail for booking. This process involves identifying the individual, determining charges, and deciding if they will be released on their own recognizance, released on bail, or held in custody until their court date.

It’s important for the arrestee to stay silent, as anything they say can be used against them. The best advice is to avoid answering any questions about the arrest until legal counsel is present.

The booking process at Ottawa County Jail typically includes the following steps:

  • Verifying identity.
  • Taking a mugshot.
  • Answering questions regarding medical, mental health, and substance use history.
  • DNA collection, if required.
  • Conducting a thorough search.
  • Confiscating personal belongings.
  • Providing a free phone call.

For questions about paying an arrestee’s bond or bail amount, contact the facility at 918-542-2806.

What is the process to pay bail for someone detained in Ottawa County?

After an individual is apprehended and taken to Ottawa County Jail in Miami for booking, their release options vary based on the situation:

1. They might be released without bail, on the condition they appear in court on a scheduled date.
2. They may be detained until their court appearance.
3. They may be eligible for release after posting a bail or bond.  Call 918-542-2806 for the exact bail amount.

There are different ways to settle an individual's bail or bond.

  • To post a cash bond, pay the full amount at the jail bonding window or the clerk's office by cash, cashier's check or money order; many facilities also accept cards at a lobby kiosk or through an online bond vendor for a fee, and you will need the inmate's full name and booking number (jail phone: 918-542-2806).
  • A licensed bail bondsman in Ottawa County can assist with payment.
  • Real property such as land or a house is accepted as collateral by many courts, provided the owner proves clear title and equity worth at least the bond, frequently twice the bond, with a deed and a current tax or appraisal value; the court that set bail signs off on it.

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

There are FOUR options for putting money on an inmate's books:

Option 1 - Dropping Money at the Jail
Bring money to the jail in person. 
Either the jail personnel will process the Inmate Account payment or you will use a Jail ATM self-serve kiosk in the lobbies that accepts cash, debit or credit cards.

Option 2 - Deposit Inmate Money Online
Ottawa County Jail uses Jail ATM 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.

Option 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 the Ottawa County Jail first as they may want you to do this online or at the jail kiosk instead.
Make the Money Order out to the payee the jail names (check with the jail first) and put their Inmate ID# in memo section of the Money Order. Never mail cash or a personal check.
