Oklahoma Department of Corrections Prison Inmates

How Do You Find Someone in the Great Plains Correctional Facility?

The Oklahoma Department of Corrections maintains a searchable public database of all of the inmates they have in custody.

In addition, the offender search contains information about prisoners, parolees, and probationers who are currently under supervision, and who have been discharged. It also contains those inmates who have absconded, or escaped.

The actual prison that an inmate is assigned to depends on factors such as security classification, remaining time of their sentence, gang affiliation, and location of their residence.

The Oklahoma Department of Corrections began in 1908, when the first state prison, Oklahoma State Penitentiary, was built in McAlester. To this day, it is home to the state's death penalty chamber.

Today the state of Oklahoma's Prison System maintains 23 state correctional facilities.

With a staff of 3,500 correctional workers, as of the end of 2023 they oversee approximately 22,000 inmates, with another 25,000 on parole and probation.

The following will explain the instructions, tricks and hacks you can use to find any inmate in custody with the Oklahoma Department of Corrections.

Oklahoma Department of Corrections Inmate Search Instructions

The Oklahoma Department of Corrections provides a limited amount of information you may want to know about any inmate in their system, however they do list every inmate. Inmates in custody have their crimes listed, as well as previous convictions. To look up an inmate, you need the full last name.  

  • You can also list all inmates who share the same last name, or the same first name.
  • You can also list all inmates who share the same first letter of the last name.




The first set of results if you used the full last name will list their Name, Offender Number (DIN), Date of Birth, Gender, Race and Facility. Inactive means released inmates. Click on the linked ID Number or Name to get to the inmate's page.  




The inmate's page only has limited information, but does often include the inmate's mugshots.

How to find an inmate already convicted of a felony and sentenced?

State Inmate

Most states have Department of Corrections websites that allow you to type in a felon's first and last name and pull up inmates in that state.

If you need to find a sentenced inmate serving time in a state other than Oklahoma, go here. To find an inmate in Oklahoma, just scroll to the top of the page and click on the Inmate Search button.

Once you locate them click next to the inmate's name or on the link provided and it will show you which prison the inmate is housed in. If the inmate is no longer incarcerated, but is on parole/probation or discharged, it will tell you that as well. In addition, many state prison inmate pages show recent mug shots.

Federal Inmate

The federal prison system has its own inmate locator called the Bureau of Prisons Inmate Locator.

Type in the inmate's name and it will tell you where he or she is incarcerated and their projected release date. It also lists released federal prison inmates and the date they were released.

Federal inmates who are moved from one prison to another will show as "No longer in federal custody" on the system until they reach their next federal prison destination. This movement can take a few days to several months to complete, so keep checking back to find out where the inmate was taken.

ICE Inmates

The ICE Detainee Lookup allows friends, family members and interested parties to locate illegal and/or undocumented immigrants that are in the United States without permission.

Has the Inmate been recently arrested?... Try a County Jail

In many cases, the person you are looking for has either not been convicted or sentenced or has been sentenced and is awaiting transport to a State or Federal Prison and is still incarcerated in a City or County Jail.

To locate that person, go here to first find the State, and then the County where they were originally arrested or have been transported to. From there you can begin your search in our databases that contain the names and information of millions of inmates.

Jailexchange.com has all information on every jail and prison in the United States.
