Phone Calls to an Oklahoma Inmate | State Prisons and County Jails

Oklahoma's state prison system went through major changes in 2024 and 2025. Physical mail was banned from state prisons in September 2024 - all correspondence now routes through digital systems. Tablets were issued statewide. And phone rates dropped sharply in early 2025 after Oklahoma was one of only three states (with Florida and Kentucky) operating above new FCC rate caps.

The Oklahoma Department of Corrections (ODOC) uses Securus Technologies statewide with one exception: Red Rock Correctional Center (RRCC) uses ViaPath (ConnectNetwork) for digital communication.

Oklahoma's 77 counties each operate their own jails with independent phone contracts.

ODOC uses "inmates" in official materials.

PART 1 - ODOC STATE PRISONS

Phone vendor: Securus Technologies (statewide, except RRCC)

Exception: Red Rock Correctional Center uses ViaPath/ConnectNetwork at connectnetwork.com; Securus digital mail is not available at RRCC.

Securus setup: securustech.net | 1-800-844-6591

Rate

$0.06 per minute effective approximately February 25, 2025.

Oklahoma was one of three states (with Florida and Kentucky) where phone rates were above the FCC 2025 IPCS Order caps before the April 6, 2026 effective date. ODOC and Securus acted early: they agreed to lower Oklahoma's phone rate from $0.14/min to $0.06/min in late February 2025 to comply with the new federal cap for state prisons.

Before the February 2025 reduction, a 15-minute call cost $2.10. At $0.06/min, a 15-minute call now costs $0.90.

For context: Securus initially charged $0.20/min when it took over the Oklahoma prison phone system in 2020. That was reduced over time, most recently to $0.06/min effective February 2025.

How calls work

Inmates place outgoing calls only. They cannot receive incoming calls. The inmate calls from a facility tablet or phone to numbers on their approved list. All non-legal calls are monitored and recorded.

Securus outbound phone numbers by facility

Each ODOC facility uses a unique Securus outbound caller ID number to prevent calls from being marked as spam by carriers. Save the number for your loved one's specific facility. The full list is on the official ODOC website at oklahoma.gov/doc/offender-info.html. A sample of facilities and numbers:

Allen Gamble CC: 405-592-4120

Dick Conner CC: 918-897-8001

Dr. Eddie Warrior CC: 918-310-2141

Jackie Brannon CC: 918-558-8059

James Crabtree CC: 580-852-3615

John Lilley CC: 918-667-3309

Joseph Harp CC: 405-527-6847

Mabel Bassett CC (women's): 405-988-3048

Oklahoma State Penitentiary: 918-558-8084

DIGITAL MAIL - Physical mail banned September 2024

ODOC banned physical mail from entering state prisons in September 2024 to reduce contraband drug smuggling. All personal mail (letters, photos, drawings) must now be sent through the Securus Digital Mail Center.

Tablets were issued statewide. The tablets serve as the primary communication device - phone calls, messaging, digital mail, and other services route through the tablets.
