Oklahoma City/County Jail

The Oklahoma County Detention Center is the largest bureau in the agency with a budget to support up to 450 employees. The employees provide for custody, welfare, services and programs for a daily average population of 1,600 inmates. The 268,000-square-foot facility with a rated capacity for 2,890 inmates is the largest detention facility in the state. The detention center merged with the Oklahoma City Jail back in 1991 for a more efficient operation.
