Conducting an Oklahoma Inmate Search

There are several websites and portals that provide links and information to aid users in conducting an Oklahoma inmate search. Individuals can use these tools to find information about inmates incarcerated in Oklahoma. To perform an Oklahoma inmate search and look up the details of a particular offender, you can visit http://docapp065p.doc.state.ok.us/servlet/page?_pageid=395&_dad=portal30&_schema=PORTAL30. An inmate search may be based on the full or partial name of an offender or the inmate's Oklahoma Department of Corrections Number (a unique number assigned to each inmate). You can also search by a number of other criteria, which are as follows:

* Search by the details of the offense
* Search by correctional facility
* Search by physical appearance
* Search by alias
* Search by ID number

Every Oklahoma county sheriff’s office also maintains criminal records. Some county sheriff's offices allow public access to these records, such as the Oklahoma County sheriff's office, which has an inmate search tool set up at http://www.oklahomacounty.org/cosheriff/.

Tips on Searching for Oklahoma Inmates

Keep some useful tips in mind when searching for information about Oklahoma inmates, and the task will be much easier. You can search from the list of all offenders or narrow it down with your last search results. You can also limit your search based on specific information, such as by alias, appearance, ID numbers, offense, and correctional facility. You can conduct wildcard searches by entering the first few characters of a first or last name in the search boxes. Any inmate whose name begins with those characters will appear in the search results.
