McClain County Jail Overview
McClain County Jail is operated by the McClain County Sheriff's Office. The public material treats the jail, sheriff office, inmate search, visitation and mail, commissary, records, and public contact as one local custody system at the sheriff's Purcell address. The jail division page names Captain Justin Wright as Jail Administrator. The sheriff homepage identifies Sheriff Landy Offolter, Undersheriff James Goins, and Captain Bryan Murrell in public leadership panels.
The jail holds current in-custody county jail inmates and local custody holds under sheriff control. The public roster does not label each profile as pretrial, sentenced misdemeanor, municipal, federal, ICE, DOC hold, or out-of-county. For that reason, McClain County Jail should be described broadly as a county jail for detainees and local custody holds rather than as a facility with narrower public categories that the sheriff did not publish.
McClain County Jail Population
Official sources reviewed did not publish McClain County Jail's rated capacity, average daily population, annual booking count, bed count, or housing-unit capacity. The sheriff roster provides current public inmate cards, but the number of cards on any given day is not the same as a sourced average daily population or rated-capacity figure. Public cards inspected in the research often showed Medium Security classification, but that is an individual card value rather than a full jail classification plan.
No separate McClain County work-release annex, regional jail, BOP prison, ICE detention center, or ODOC prison was located inside the county from the official sources reviewed. Once a person is sentenced to Oklahoma state prison and leaves local custody, use the ODOC offender lookup rather than the county roster.
Look Up McClain County Jail Inmates
The correct lookup channel for McClain County Jail is the sheriff's current in-custody inmate search. It is free and hosted on the sheriff website. The roster page opens with an Oklahoma VINE explanation, then displays public inmate cards with profile links. The search box is useful, but research found that browsing can be necessary because a tested last-name search returned no result for a profile that was visible on the roster.
- Open the official McClain County Sheriff's Office inmate search page.
- Use the visible search box if a name is known.
- Browse the paginated cards if a search misses a visible person or returns too few results.
- Open View Details and compare the mugshot, name, race, sex, charge list, booking number, and booked date.
- Call the detention center when the roster does not show bond, court date, release eligibility, or hold details.
Use Oklahoma VINE for custody status notification. The sheriff page publishes the VINE phone number 877-654-8463. VINE is a notification tool, not a substitute for the jail roster profile.
McClain County Jail Contact
The sheriff's public contact page lists the jail and sheriff office at the same Purcell address. Use the jail number for current custody and detention-center questions. Use the sheriff office or records page for open-records routing, and use dispatch for urgent law-enforcement contact.

McClain County Jail Visitation
McClain County Jail visitation is video-only according to the sheriff's official visitation page. City Tele Coin provides the video service. The sheriff provides a lobby kiosk as a courtesy, and remote visits use the vendor's app or website after account setup. Visitors must call ahead and follow jail rules. Video visits are monitored.
| Visitation Item | Official Detail | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Visit format | Video visitation only | Lobby kiosk or remote |
| Vendor | City Tele Coin | Video and communication service |
| Length | 10 minutes per visitor per day | Time limit |
| Scheduling | Visitors must call ahead | No day-by-day public schedule found |
| Minors | Under 18 must have a parent or legal guardian present | Visitor rule |
| Former inmates | A person incarcerated in the detention center cannot visit for six months after release | Visitor restriction |
The dress code bans mini-skirts, halter tops, short shorts, see-through clothing, and swim wear. Inappropriate sexual or criminal activity can end a remote visit and lead to a future ban. Legal visitors should call the detention center because the public research did not locate separate attorney-visit rules.

The sheriff's mail format is McClain County Sheriff's Office, Inmate's Name, 121 N. 2nd Ave., Purcell, OK 73080. The public page also says inmates may receive items from third parties, but detailed third-party package rules were not visible in the captured research. Call before sending books, packages, or special items.

Money left in a commissary account at release may be obtained only by the inmate upon release.

Confirm current custody before sending money, because release or transfer can change how a balance is handled.
Booking at McClain County Jail
McClain County does not publish a detailed booking manual. The roster and Oklahoma jail standards support a basic intake path: arrest or transport, identification, search and property handling, photograph and fingerprints, safety or medical screening, classification, booking number assignment, and custody until release, transfer, or court action. The roster confirms that public booking cards are created for current inmates and can show a front booking photo, booked date and time, classification, and booking number.
- Booking
- Jail intake event after arrest.
- Classification
- Security or housing assessment. Public McClain cards often showed Medium Security, but no full classification plan was published.
- Detainer
- A hold or request from another agency that may affect release.
- PR Bond
- Release on a promise to appear, if ordered by the court.
Bond amount, bond type, court date, holding pod, release date, and detainer flags were not visible on the inspected public profile. Use OSCN, ODCR, the Court Clerk, or the jail phone for those details.
McClain County Jail Records
The McClain County Sheriff's Office Records Division is the fallback when the current roster does not provide an older booking record, incident report, mugshot, or other sheriff record. The page says written requests are preferred and should be mailed to the Sheriff's Office. It also says requests may be made in person during regular office hours. Email is mentioned, but the public page used placeholder text rather than a published records email in the research capture.
Oklahoma's Open Records Act supports access to public records unless an exemption applies. The sheriff page says government information is presumed public with exceptions and that records are released as promptly as possible unless exempt. Crime victims are entitled to one free copy of their incident report, but they must appear in person and provide acceptable identity verification. The research did not locate a fee table, exact turnaround time, or booking-record-specific form fields.
Note: Confirm custody and visit rules with McClain County Jail before travel, deposits, mail, or records requests.
About McClain County Jail
Official jail pages did not publish a construction year, building history, housing-pod names, accreditation status, full program list, or medical request procedure. Public services documented in the research are the current in-custody roster, video visitation and mail, commissary and web deposits, records requests, and public contact channels. Program details such as GED, substance-abuse, vocational, religious, grievance, tablet, or work-release services were not published on the sheriff pages reviewed.
Recent official-source context includes a July 2024 sheriff fraud alert warning about scam calls that claimed residents had active warrants and demanded payment. A 2022 Department of Justice release reported that a former McClain County Jail officer pleaded guilty to a civil-rights violation. Those items are relevant to public safety and conditions history, but they do not replace the current roster or facility contact details.
