ODOC - William S. Key Correctional Center - CLOSED, nestled in Fort Supply, OK, stands as a minimum security state prison under the auspices of the Oklahoma Department of Corrections. Renowned as the epitome of low-security state facilities, this prison is designed to accommodate individuals who pose the lowest risk to public safety. The facility comprises non-secure dormitories that undergo routine patrols by correctional officers. Within these dormitories are group toilet and shower areas, alongside sleeping quarters equipped with double bunks and lockers. Unlike higher-security facilities, ODOC - William S. Key Correctional Center - CLOSED boasts a relatively low staff-to-inmate ratio and may feature limited or no perimeter fencing. Inmates housed in minimum security prisons often experience greater freedom of movement compared to other correctional facilities. They reside in dormitory-style housing or small cottages and are typically engaged in work and program-oriented activities. Some facilities may have a separate minimum security camp, commonly known as Satellite Prison Camps, which provide inmate labor both on-site and off-site. Despite the absence of armed watch towers or roving patrols, the perimeter fence is regularly inspected to maintain security standards. This level of supervision and control over inmate activities within the prison is notably less stringent than at higher custody levels. Qualification for placement in a minimum security prison necessitates meeting specific criteria, including having less than 10 years remaining on the sentence, demonstrating non-violent behavior, and maintaining a clear disciplinary history. Inmates often aspire to "work their way down" in custody levels to become eligible for transfer to such camps, viewing them as the most favorable situation within the incarcerated system.
This prison has been permanently closed.
