Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Jackie Brannon Correctional Center
To find someone held here, use the official inmate search link on this page for the facility roster or Oklahoma Department of Corrections offender lookup. State inmate records typically list the person’s name, ODOC number, facility location, custody status, and offense or sentence information; recent intake or transfer dates may also be shown. Records do not always appear immediately after arrival because booking, transfer, and classification processing can take several hours or longer. If the person was just arrested in Pittsburg County, check the county jail or court first, because this facility generally houses sentenced state inmates, not new local arrestees.
