Wagoner County Jail Overview
Wagoner County Jail, also called the Wagoner County Detention Center on parts of the sheriff's site, is operated by the Wagoner County Sheriff's Office. The jail is in downtown Wagoner at the same Cherokee Street government complex used for the sheriff, court clerk, records counter, and many court-related tasks. Sheriff Chris Elliott is the county sheriff, and the official jail page names Major Ryan Russell as jail administrator. The facility is the county-level detention point for people arrested by the sheriff and for many people brought in by police agencies that appear on the roster, including Wagoner, Broken Arrow, Coweta, Catoosa, and other local departments.
The jail population is made up of pretrial detainees, people serving local sentences, people held for local agencies, municipal arrestees transferred into county custody, and some state or outside-agency holds when applicable. The county site does not publish a formal bed count, housing-unit map, public lobby schedule, or year built. Those missing details should not be inferred from other jails. The reliable public custody source is the sheriff's current inmate search, which displays in-custody records, booking dates, charges, mugshots when available, bond totals when present, and profile pages.
The official jail page is the source for the facility address, phone, jail administrator, and inspection or award notes. The sheriff's homepage supplies the 24-hour sheriff number and county background. Those two pages should be treated as policy sources before unofficial directories.
The sheriff's jail page includes the facility contact block shown below. It is useful for confirming that a custody record still reflects the current status before traveling, posting bond, or arranging a visit.
The sheriff's jail information page shows the Wagoner County Jail address and phone in the same public contact block used for detention questions.
The screenshot matches the county jail facility page, so it supports the contact and administrator details rather than replacing a live custody check.
Wagoner County Jail Population
Wagoner County does not publish an official rated capacity for the jail in the researched county source set. The best current custody figure found was the official roster API count inspected on June 25, 2026, which returned 82 in-custody records. Search snippets near that same date showed 85, a normal difference for a live jail roster as people are booked, released, bonded out, or transferred. A separate Prison Policy Initiative correctional-population reference lists Wagoner County Jail at 96, but that is a historical population reference, not a county-published bed count.
Because the county roster changes daily, treat any count as a dated snapshot. The sheriff page itself uses a dynamic count for people currently in custody. For a bond question, visitation plan, or records request, the live roster and a phone confirmation are better than a saved copy or search-engine snippet.
Look Up Wagoner County Jail Inmates
Use the Wagoner County inmate search for people currently held in the county jail. The roster is free, public, and does not require a login. It uses a visible name filter and official sheriff data. The page states that it shows people in custody, when they were booked, charges, and additional information. The page meta description says the inmate search is updated hourly, so a new booking may not appear at the exact moment a person arrives at intake.
- Open the official sheriff inmate search page and start with the person's last name.
- Review matching cards by name, booking date, and photo if one is available.
- Open the profile page to check charges, agency, bond total, booking time, and notification links.
- If the person is not listed, check the released within 72 hours page and VINE.
- For sentenced prison custody, switch to OK Offender Lookup; for federal custody, use the BOP locator.
The roster can include people arrested by city police agencies and held in the county facility. A Broken Arrow or City of Wagoner arrest may therefore appear on the county roster after transfer or county booking. If a profile lists another agency or a hold, confirm the release path by phone before assuming that a visible bond amount is enough.
Wagoner County Jail Contact
Custody questions should go to the jail or sheriff's office, while formal open-records requests go to WCSO Records. The same Cherokee Street address appears on the sheriff site for the jail, sheriff's office, records references, and court-related public counter tasks. Records in-person hours are limited, but detention intake and custody status can involve the jail's direct number or the sheriff's 24-hour number.

Wagoner County Jail Visits
Wagoner County Jail uses City Tele Coin for video and kiosk-based visitation. The sheriff's visitation page says all visitation is handled through that system. After an account is created, visitors can use the City Tele Coin website or app to set up remote access for the inmate. Indigent inmates may request a free online visit. Visits are monitored and recorded, and the jail can revoke privileges or shut off a visit for discipline, nudity, illegal activity, or rule violations.
| Visit Item | Official Detail | Practical Use |
|---|---|---|
| Format | City Tele Coin kiosk and remote video | Create an account and select the Wagoner facility. |
| Visitor age | At least 18 unless parent or legal guardian is present | Bring or prepare valid identity details before scheduling. |
| Monitoring | Video visits are monitored and recorded | Do not discuss restricted case facts or banned topics. |
| Indigent access | Indigent inmates may request a free online visit | The request is made by the inmate, not the visitor. |
| Schedule | No day-by-day public schedule located | Confirm available times inside City Tele Coin or by calling the jail. |
For in-person business such as a records request, the sheriff records page gives Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 3 PM, as the public counter window. That is not the same as a jail visiting schedule.
Wagoner County Jail Mail
The sheriff's mail rules are specific. Mail must include the sender's first and last name and return address. Mail is opened and checked for contraband before delivery. Inmate-to-inmate correspondence is not allowed with someone in the same facility or another facility. Newspapers, magazines, Polaroid photos, blank paper, pens, pencils, stamps, envelopes, musical cards, and similar items are not allowed. The sheriff page also says only items that can be scanned will be processed.
| Service | Provider or Detail |
|---|---|
| Mail Address | Inmate Name, c/o Wagoner County Detention Center, 307 E Cherokee, Wagoner OK 74467 |
| Phone and Video | City Tele Coin video visitation and app access |
| Money Deposit | Tiger Commissary web deposits for inmate trust funds |
| Commissary Orders | Tiger Commissary orders, with weekly orders placed Thursday |
Family and friends may use the sheriff-linked Tiger Commissary Wagoner County service for deposits or commissary orders. The sheriff commissary page states that weekly orders are placed on Thursday and must be called in no later than 8:00 AM Thursday.
Wagoner County Jail Medical
The sheriff's medical services page says the jail has 24/7 on-site medical service with a doctor, LPNs, EMTs, and CNAs, and that all medical staff are sheriff's office employees. Outside medication must be approved and must be in the original prescription bottle with the inmate's name on the label. HIPAA limits what jail staff can tell relatives about a medical condition without written consent from the inmate.
| Medical Item | Published Fee or Rule |
|---|---|
| Physician office visit | $8.00 |
| Medical procedure | $12.00 |
| Prescription | $4.00 per week, with a longer-sentence monthly caveat |
| Daily care | $10.00 per month |
| Medical contact | 918-485-7734 |
DOC inmates are not billed for medical expenses by the county. Indigent inmates may be seen by the medical assistant or nurse without charge, though certain fees can be added to court costs or fines.
Wagoner County Jail Booking
Wagoner County does not publish a full intake manual, but the roster shows the working sequence. A person is arrested or transported on a warrant or hold, brought to the county jail or a municipal jail, identified, photographed when a photo is available, and entered into the booking system. The public profile can include BookingID, InmateID, name, age, sex, race, city, agency, booking date, charges, bond, and a VINE notification link.
Formal charges are a court matter. A roster charge is a booking or arrest entry, not a conviction and not always the final charge filed by the prosecutor. Court records after filing should be checked through the Court Clerk, ODCR, or OSCN. For custody-only questions, the Wagoner County jail inmate records page explains the roster fields in more depth.
About Wagoner County Jail
The official jail page gives local leadership and conditions context without publishing a full inmate handbook. It says Major Ryan Russell began at the detention center in February 2020 as a detention officer and became jail administrator on June 14, 2021. The page lists Oklahoma Sheriff's Association Jail Administrator of the Year awards in 2022 and 2024, a 2024 Sheriff's Office Employee of the Year note, 2024 CLEET completion, and a 2024 Health Department infraction-free jail inspection.
Oklahoma State Department of Health materials state that city and county detention facilities are inspected at least once each year for compliance with detention standards. The research did not locate a federal consent decree, active DOJ jail investigation, or current local jail class-action litigation for Wagoner County Jail. Reported overcrowding and medical-care coverage from local news should be treated as context, not as current policy, unless the sheriff or county publishes an updated operational statement.
Note: Confirm custody, visit access, and bond details with the jail before travel because roster and schedule details can change quickly.
