Muskogee County Jail Roster Overview
The Muskogee County Sheriff's Office runs the jail and posts an online roster of people in custody. The roster lists in-custody inmates and sorts them by the date booked. A name search pulls up a person's booking date, charges, and added detail. The tool is free, and you do not need an account to use it. It refreshes as bookings and releases are processed, so a brand-new arrest or a just-completed release can take time to show.
The roster only covers the county jail. It does not show people held by other agencies. Sentenced state prisoners are tracked by the Oklahoma Department of Corrections, not the county. Federal detainees and immigration holds sit in separate federal systems. If a name does not appear, the person may have been released, transferred, or never booked into this jail at all.
The roster is a snapshot, not a full history. It shows who is held now, not everyone ever booked. A person who bonded out an hour ago can still show as in custody until the record is updated. Someone just arrested may not post for a while. For those reasons the sheriff treats the roster as a starting point and points users to a separate alert tool for release and transfer status.
The Muskogee County Jail inmate search is the official front door for an in-custody lookup.
The page explains the in-custody search and points users to a release-notification tool when no result comes back.
How to Use the Muskogee County Inmate Roster
The roster is built for a quick name lookup. The sheriff's site tells users to search by name when they are after a specific inmate. A few simple steps cover most searches.
- Open the Muskogee County Sheriff inmate search page in any browser.
- Type the inmate's name in the search box. You can also scroll the roster, which is sorted by booking date.
- Use the page navigation to move through the list when many people are in custody.
- Select a name to open the booking detail, including charges and the booking date.
- If no result appears, check the release-notification tool to see whether the person was released or moved.
A short name or a common spelling can return several people. Match the booking date or charges to be sure you have the right record.
Muskogee County Roster Search Fields
The roster keeps its search controls simple. There is a name search, a default sort, page controls, and a link out to the alert system. The table lists what the tool offers.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name search | Text | No | The page says to search the name when looking for a specific inmate. |
| Booking sort | System sort | No | Inmates are listed by the date they were booked. |
| Pagination controls | Navigation | No | First, previous, next, and last controls move through the roster. |
| VINE Link | External link | No | Used when a person was released or transferred, or for custody alerts. |
What a Muskogee County Inmate Profile Shows
A roster entry confirms custody and gives the basics on why a person is held. The sheriff's page states that the search shows booking date, charges, and added information. The table below maps the fields the public roster is documented to show.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| In-Custody Status | Whether the person is currently held in the county jail, based on the live roster. |
| Booking Date | The date the person was booked into the jail, which also sets the roster order. |
| Charges | The charges tied to the booking, as listed on the page. |
| Additional Information | Extra booking detail the page references, though the full field list is not published. |
| Mugshot / Photo | A booking photo when available; the page shows a "no image currently available" placeholder when one is not. |
| Release / Transfer | Handled through the VINE alert link rather than the roster once a person leaves custody. |
The charges on a booking are not the same as filed court charges. A prosecutor decides which arrest charges move forward, and that detail lives in the Muskogee County court charge records.
Note: A live sample profile was not captured, so fields such as bond amount, height, weight, and housing unit are not confirmed for the public Muskogee County roster.
Muskogee County Jail and Sheriff Contacts
The Muskogee County Sheriff's Office runs both the patrol division and the county jail. Sheriff Andy Simmons leads the office from the State Street address downtown, while the jail keeps its own direct line for booking and custody questions. Use the contact cards below to reach the right desk.

Call ahead to confirm visitation and inmate questions
The sheriff's FAQ page gathers the jail phone, sheriff phone, and quick links for visitation, commissary, mail, and most wanted in one spot.
It is a useful starting point when you are not sure which jail service or phone line you need.
Booking and Release in Muskogee County
Booking is the intake step after an arrest. Staff record the person's identity, the charges, and the time of the booking. That booking date is what sorts the public roster. Once booked, a person waits in the county jail for the next stage of the case.
Charges at booking come from the arrest. They can change once a prosecutor reviews the case. The District Attorney for District 15 decides which charges to file in District Court, and a judge sets bond or release terms. Some people post bond and leave within hours. Others stay in custody until a hearing. The reason for a hold often traces back to a case or an open order, and the Muskogee County warrant records page explains how those orders work.
Bond is the key to release before trial. A judge can set a cash bond, allow a surety bond through a bondsman, or release a person on their own promise to appear. A defendant who cannot afford counsel may qualify for a court-appointed lawyer through the state indigent defense system, which covers Muskogee County. The roster does not track bond status field by field, so the court docket and a call to the jail give the clearest picture of where a case stands.
VINE Alerts and Oklahoma DOC Lookup
When the roster shows no result, two other tools take over. VINE tracks custody status and sends alerts. The Oklahoma Department of Corrections handles sentenced state prisoners. Each one answers a question the county roster cannot.
- VINE - the sheriff page links VINE so users can check whether an inmate was released or transferred. VINE lets victims register for phone and email alerts when custody status changes. The Oklahoma VINE line is 877-654-8463.
- Oklahoma DOC - the state offender lookup covers people sentenced to state prison and listed fugitives, not local jail bookings.
You can register through VINELink for automatic alerts, or search the Oklahoma DOC offender lookup when the person has moved on to a state facility.
Note: A name missing from the county roster does not always mean release, since the system may be updating, so VINE is the better confirmation tool.
Muskogee County Jail Visitation Hours
Visits at the Muskogee County Jail run through City TeleCoin, and they are video only. Each inmate is allowed one 15-minute visit per week. An on-site video visit is free. Both online and on-site visits must be scheduled 24 hours in advance, and every visit is recorded. The jail can limit visits for inmate or visitor misbehavior or for security reasons.
| Day | Hours | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Monday | By appointment | Video |
| Tuesday | By appointment | Video |
| Wednesday | By appointment | Video |
| Thursday | By appointment | Video |
| Friday | By appointment | Video |
| Saturday | By appointment | Video |
| Sunday | By appointment | Video |
Visitors should expect to show identification and may be searched. Several items are barred from the visitation area, including the following.
- Cell phones, cameras, and Bluetooth or electronic devices such as laptops.
- Chargers and similar accessories.
- Knives, other weapons, firearms, and ammunition.
- Tobacco, lighters, and e-cigarettes.
The sheriff's visitation page spells out the scheduling rule, the visit length, and the full list of prohibited items.
A visitor who appears under the influence of drugs or alcohol will not be allowed in and may face arrest, and every visit is recorded.
How to Contact a Muskogee County Inmate
Phone and video contact run through City TeleCoin, the jail's inmate communication vendor. The service handles calls, video visits, calling cards, messaging, and account funding. Family members set up an account, add money, and manage contacts through the vendor site.
You can create an account and schedule a video visit through City TeleCoin. For mail, follow the sheriff's published mail guidelines and call the jail at 918-682-7851 before sending anything, since mail rules change and items can be rejected.
The vendor site is also where deposits, messaging, and contact lists are managed for an inmate.
Mail rules are strict, and they change. The jail can reject items that break policy. Do not send cash in the mail. Use the sheriff's posted mail guidelines, and call first if you are unsure. A short call to the jail can save a letter or package from being returned.
Commissary and Inmate Funds
Commissary lets inmates buy approved items, and family members can add money to an account. Orders must be placed by lockdown on Wednesday night. Delivery is normally Friday, unless a holiday pushes it to the next business day. Ordering and delivery dates can shift for holidays or staff vacations, and inmates are told in advance.
There are a few ways to deposit money for an inmate.
- Cash or credit card at the lobby kiosk.
- Online through the commissary company's website.
- A mailed money order that includes the inmate's name.
The sheriff's commissary page links the JailATM web deposit and order tools and lists the deposit options.
It also flags how holidays can move the Wednesday cutoff and the Friday delivery.
Request Muskogee County Booking Records
Some records are not posted on the roster. For those, the sheriff's Records Division handles open-records requests and keeps the office's files. The division also processes self-defense act license applications.
Submit a request to the sheriff Records Division and contact the office about any fees. Law-enforcement records are public under the Oklahoma Open Records Act at 51 O.S. Section 24A.8, though active investigative and protected details can be withheld. When a record sits outside the roster and is not confidential, a direct request to the Records Division is the right fallback.
Is there a Muskogee County Sheriff app for inmate lookup? No official Muskogee County Sheriff app with an inmate search was found in the sources reviewed. The roster, VINE, and the DOC lookup remain the documented tools for custody status. Treat any third-party app claiming a live county roster with caution, and confirm any result against the sheriff's own page or a phone call to the jail.
