INTRO

If your loved one is approaching release from an Oklahoma state prison, the state runs two parallel systems for community corrections housing - six ODOC-operated Community Corrections Centers, and up to nine privately contracted halfway houses, with Avalon Correctional Services serving as the primary private contractor.

Oklahoma's six Community Corrections Centers (CCCs) are ODOC facilities focused on work release, Public Works Program assignments, and structured reentry services. The two largest are Clara Waters CCC at 9901 N I-35 Service Road, Oklahoma City (405-254-3200) and Oklahoma City CCC at 315 W I-44 Service Road (405-463-7800). Both are in Oklahoma County. Enid, Lawton, Union City, and a Kate Barnard CCC round out the statewide footprint.

Beyond the CCCs, ODOC contracts with private companies - led by Avalon Correctional Services - for halfway house beds across the state. The Avalon Carver Transitional Center at 400 South May Street, Oklahoma City (405-232-8233) is the most clearly documented. Avalon also operates in Tulsa and other Oklahoma cities; pull current locations from avaloncorrections.com.

For federal inmates, Oklahoma falls under BOP Residential Reentry Management Dallas. Pull current Oklahoma federal RRC listings from bop.gov.

Oklahoma has the highest female incarceration rate in the country - a context that shapes the state's women's corrections infrastructure. The ODOC reentry page at oklahoma.gov/doc/offender-info/re-entry.html is the starting point for families navigating housing and support resources.

2025: END OF PRIVATE PRISONS IN OKLAHOMA

In July 2025, ODOC purchased the Lawton Correctional Facility from GEO Group for $312 million, renaming it Red Rock Correctional Center. This made Oklahoma the first state in recent decades to fully exit private prison contracting for major facilities. Private halfway houses (contracted through companies like Avalon) are distinct from prison operations and continue under separate ODOC contracts.

AVALON CORRECTIONAL SERVICES

Avalon Correctional Services is Oklahoma's primary private halfway house operator, running facilities under contract with ODOC in Oklahoma City, Tulsa, and other locations. The Avalon Carver Transitional Center at 400 South May Street, Oklahoma City (405-232-8233) provides community corrections reentry services. Avalon's halfway house beds cost the state $45 per day, compared to $61.71 per day for a medium-security prison bed - the cost differential that drives Oklahoma's use of contracted private halfway houses.

SEX OFFENDER RESTRICTIONS IN OKLAHOMA

Unlike most states in this directory, Oklahoma has no statewide statutory residency distance restriction for registered sex offenders. Placement is managed through individual parole conditions set by the Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board. Most CCCs and contracted halfway houses do not accept sex offenders under their operational policies. Contact ODOC and the Parole Board for sex offender placement options.
