About the Washita County Jail
The Washita County Jail is located in Cordell, Oklahoma. It is the arresting and processing facility for the city in which it resides as well as the surrounding county. Each inmate is processed and provided with either the amount of their bail or the day and time of their bail hearing. The original building was finished in 1988 and has begun to show its age. Full capacity for the facility is 38, making it a small holding facility that works well for those awaiting bail, people who are using the drunk tank to sober up, and people who are in the process of their trial. It has the capability of medium security, leading to violent offenders and those with extended services being transferred to larger jails and those that have maximum security cells. Anyone who is arrested in the area is taken to this facility to be booked and to have their bail hearing. Over 3,000 people are booked through the facility in an average year, with many being released quickly. If you are unsure if someone you know is incarcerated at the location, a phone call to the office or online look up will provide that information. Once having been processed and in their cell, inmates can begin to make outgoing phone calls to organize legal representation or contact loved ones. Visits can be booked but will be completed via video conferencing rather than face to face. This change has allowed visits to continue after the COVID outbreak began. Mail can be delivered to Washita County Jail, with the inmates name and booking number, 215 East 1st Streeet, Cordell, OK. Inmates can be provided with money for phone calls and necessary purchases through jailatm.com. Phone and video visitation is provided through citytelecoin.com which allows for inmates to call and video call during their free hours, with no set visitation schedule needed and no tlal visits must be planned in advance. The office hours are 8am to 4pm, and a kiosk is available in the lobby for use for visits as well as one for funding their accounts.

Washita County Jail Booking Roster

What happens during booking in Washita County?

After being arrested and taken into custody, and after being read their Miranda Rights, an offender will next be transported to the local police or department or the Sheriff’s Department in Washita County for booking.

Booking is very involved and requires multiple steps in the process, however, keep in mind that most attorneys will advise that an offender remain silent and not offer any additional information about the crime they have been arrested for because anything they do say may be recorded and may very well be used against them in court.

What is the booking process like at the Washita County Jail?

Booking includes having their photo (mugshot) and fingerprints taken, as well as being asked a lot of questions about their personal history and state of mind. If it’s a serious felony, their DNA may also be taken. They will also be checked for warrants in Washita County and other Oklahoma and USA jurisdictions.

If the offender was arrested for a DUI offense, and has refused a breathalyzer test, they may also be forced to have blood drawn by a doctor or nurse.

It is also very likely that the offender will undergo a humiliating full body search while in the nude. This includes bending over, spreading their cheeks in the direction of an officer, and coughing. They will also be walked through a metal detector or x-ray machine, like those used at an airport.

What kind of questions are asked during booking?

The arresting jurisdiction will ask about gang affiliations, tattoos, medical conditions, prescribed medication they are taking, recreational drugs they are on or addicted to, allergies, if they are suicidal, and other relevant information that will help with determining their cell assignment and special needs.

What happens to an offender’s personal property during booking?

During the arrest and booking process an offender will also have all their personal property confiscated and held for either their release from jail, or with the offender’s approval, released to a friend or family member.

Personal property includes the clothing they are wearing, money, wallets, purses, cell phones, jewelry, body rings, earrings, watches, and even glasses if they are deemed a security risk. If they are allowed to keep their shoes or sneakers, the laces are removed.

What happens after booking?

At this point the offender will be allowed to make a free phone call to a person of their choice to notify them of their arrest, and/or arrange a bond or bail for their release.

If the offender is being detained and housed while awaiting arraignment, the Washita County Jail will provide a jail garment and slip-on shoes, a blanket, sheets, soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, and a towel.

Often, before they are dressed in the jail outfit and brought to their housing location, they will be forced to take a shower and undergo a disinfectant treatment for body and hair lice, scabies or other pests that may be residing on their person.

How long does the Washita County Jail Booking process take?

Booking can take anywhere from an hour to 24 hours or more. It all depends on the number of people that are awaiting processing, the number of staff on duty at the time, and the behavior of the offender.

If the offender is heavily intoxicated and/or violent, the Booking Officer may decide to stick the offender in a holding cell for several hours until they become more manageable.

Inmate Money Accounts

How Do You Deposit Money for an Inmate in the Washita 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.

Washita 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 Washita County Jail at 580-832-2413.

Choice 2 - Deposit Inmate Money Online

Washita 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 Washita County Jail at 580-832-2413 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 580-832-2413 to ask facility personnel who to make the money order out to, and where to send it.
