The OCDC is a low/medium-security detention center located at 201 N Shartel Ave Oklahoma City, OK which is operated locally by the Oklahoma County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Oklahoma County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Oklahoma City Police Department, and the US Marshal's Service.

New detainees arrive at the jail regularly, with some being released on bail, placed under pretrial services caseloads, supervised by probation agencies, or released on recognizance with a court appearance agreement. Those who are not released await their court appearances at the jail, receiving accommodations including bedding and meals. You can see all the arrest records for Oklahoma here.

The Oklahoma County Detention Center is the largest bureau in the agency which provides custody, welfare, services and programs for up to 2,700 inmates every day. The 268,000-sq-ft facility with a rated capacity for 2,890 inmates is the largest detention facility in the state. The detention center merged with the Oklahoma City Jail back in 1991 for more efficient operation.

Classification - Inmate Housing Assignment Method - Classification officers perform an assessment of and create a classification file for each inmate. This assessment takes into account inmate behavior and any special needs that the inmate might have. Based on these and other factors, a determination is made regarding the inmate's housing assignment in one of the twenty-eight housing units; security level, and if eligible, job or program assignments. Classification of inmates was fully implemented in 2000 and has resulted in the more effective use of staffing, lowered inmate incidents and provides more effective use of cell space.

Unit Management Search & Contraband Control Unit - A unit is a self-contained inmate living area that includes cells, room, exercise and program areas and office space for unit staff. Each unit has four pods. A unit manager is responsible for each unit on a 24-hour basis. Under their supervision, detention officers provide for inmate security, services and programs. Each of the housing units is staffed by a unit team made up of the employees who are permanently assigned to work in each unit. The unit staff consists of the unit manager, unit supervisor, and detention officers, who maintain security supervision, provide services and maintain sanitation, and a clerical employee.
