Woods County Jail
Need information about an inmate? Call the 13-bed Woods County Jail at 580-327-3434 any time, day or night, or look them up with the inmate search tool.
This jail is where people arrested in the county for misdemeanors and felonies are taken for booking and processing. Some are released after posting bond or on their own recognizance. Others are held until their trial is decided.
If convicted and sentenced to less than a year, an inmate serves the time here. A sentence longer than a year means a transfer to the Oklahoma State Prison System or the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
Use this page to find the visitation schedule and policies, send money to an inmate, write a letter, set up inmate phone calls and voicemail, email or text, rent a tablet, post a bail bond, or buy commissary.
Save the booking number or jail ID once you have it, as it’s required for most correspondence. If the online roster doesn’t show it, call Woods County Jail at 580-327-3434.

What should you know about the booking process at Woods County Jail?
Once arrested, the person is taken to Woods County Jail for booking, a process that confirms identity, assesses charges, and determines if they will be released on their own recognizance, posted for bail, or held until court.
Staying silent is key during this process, as anything spoken can be used as evidence in court. It’s best to wait for legal counsel before responding to questions.
Steps involved in booking at Woods County Jail include:
- Confirming identity.
- Taking mugshots for record.
- Medical, mental health, and substance history questioning.
- DNA collection if applicable.
- Comprehensive physical search.
- Seizing personal property.
- Access to a free phone call.

Steps to pay bail in Woods County
After an arrest, individuals are brought to Woods County Jail in Alva for processing. Following this, three possible outcomes exist:
1. The individual may be released without posting bail, with a promise to appear in court.
2. The individual could be held in jail until their court date.
3. Bail or bond can be posted for release; for more information, contact 580-327-3434.
Bail payment can be handled through various means.
- Pay a cash bond in full at the bonding window inside the jail or at the clerk of court, by cash, cashier's check or money order; a lobby kiosk or online bond vendor often takes debit and credit cards for an extra fee, and you should bring the inmate's full name and booking number (the jail can be reached at 580-327-3434).
- Licensed bail bond agents in Woods County are available for assistance.
- Land or a home can often serve as bond collateral: the owner provides a deed and a recent tax or appraisal value showing clear title and equity of at least the bond amount, commonly double, and the court that set bail approves the pledge.
