Wagoner County Inmate Search Options
The Wagoner County Sheriff's Office runs the county jail and posts an online inmate search for everyone held there. The tool lists current in-custody inmates, shows each person's booking date and charges, and adds further booking information on the profile. Bookings are sorted by date, so the newest arrests sit near the top. You can type a name to filter the list down to one person.
The roster covers the county jail only. It does not list people in federal custody, inmates already shipped to an Oklahoma state prison, or anyone held in another county. When a name is missing, the most common reason is that the person has been released, transferred, or sentenced and moved on.
For those situations the Sheriff's Office points you to two other tools. A separate list shows inmates released in the last 72 hours, and the VINE service tracks release and transfer status across Oklahoma. Sentenced state inmates are found through the Oklahoma Department of Corrections, not the county roster.
How to Use the Wagoner County Jail Roster
The roster is free and needs no account. Open the WCSO inmate search and work down the in-custody list, or filter it by name. Because results are sorted by booking date, a recent arrest is usually easy to spot near the top.
- Open the Sheriff's Office inmate search page in any web browser.
- Scan the in-custody list, which is sorted by the date each person was booked.
- Type the inmate's name to filter the list down to matching records.
- Open a person's entry to read the booking date, charges, and the additional booking information attached to it.
- If the name does not appear, check the 72-hour released list and VINE, since the person may have left custody.
Wagoner County Roster Search Fields
The jail roster keeps its inputs simple. It is built around a single name filter applied to the live in-custody list, with two companion lists for people who are no longer held. The table below lays out the fields and lists the Sheriff's Office publishes for an inmate search.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Options / Format Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Search their name | Text filter | No | Type a name to filter the in-custody list down to matching inmates. |
| In-custody list | Listing | n/a | Shows everyone currently held, sorted by the date booked. |
| 72-hour released | Link / list | n/a | Separate list of inmates released in the last 72 hours, sorted by release date. |
| VINE Link | External lookup | Optional | Used when an inmate may have been released or transferred out of the county jail. |
Released Inmates and Transfers in Wagoner County
People move out of the county jail quickly. Someone booked overnight may bond out, be released on a citation, or be transferred before the next business day. When a name drops off the live roster, the Sheriff's Office keeps a short window of release history so you can confirm what happened.
The WCSO 72-hour released inmate list shows people let go within the past three days, sorted by release date, and points back to the inmate search for anyone still in custody.
If the release is older than the 72-hour window, or you want ongoing alerts, VINE is the next stop. Common reasons a name leaves the Wagoner County roster include the following.
- The inmate posted bond or was released on a personal recognizance order.
- Charges were not filed within the legal holding period.
- The person was cited and released for a low-level offense.
- The inmate was transferred to another county or to state custody.
- The case ended in a sentence served elsewhere.
VINE, the statewide victim notification service, lets you register for free phone, text, or email alerts when a Wagoner County inmate's custody status changes. It is the recommended way to follow a release or transfer once the person leaves the local roster.
What a Wagoner County Inmate Profile Shows
Each record on the roster carries the booking facts the Sheriff's Office chooses to publish. The detail is enough to confirm an identity, see why a person is being held, and judge how recent the booking is. The table below lists only the fields the WCSO inmate search and app pages actually confirm. The roster does not publish a mugshot, height, weight, date of birth, bond amount, housing pod, or magistrate name, so do not expect those.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | The inmate's name, which is also the value you type into the filter. |
| Booking Date | The date the person was booked into the county jail; the list is sorted by this date. |
| Charges | The charge or charges the person is being held on. |
| Additional Information | Further detail the Sheriff's Office attaches to the record, which is not always the same for every inmate. |
| Booking Details | The booking information packaged with each record, also surfaced through the WCSO app. |
| Recent Arrests | Newly booked people appear near the top, so the roster doubles as a recent-arrest view. |
County Jail vs Oklahoma DOC Custody
A county jail and a state prison hold different groups of people, and the search tool is different for each. The Wagoner County Jail mostly holds people awaiting court, serving short sentences, or waiting to be moved. Once an inmate is sentenced to a longer term, the Oklahoma Department of Corrections takes custody and the name leaves the county roster.
For sentenced inmates, the state runs its own search. The Oklahoma DOC offender lookup finds people in state-prison custody, and the wider DOC offender information page links open records, data requests, and registry tools. If a Wagoner County booking ended in a prison sentence, the DOC search is where the record continues. The charges that led there are tracked through the county arrest records and court charges, and the full case file lives in the criminal court records.
Note: Federal detainees and people held for immigration authorities do not appear on the county roster or the state DOC lookup.
Wagoner County Jail Facility and Administration
The Wagoner County Jail shares the courthouse-area campus with the Sheriff's Office at 307 E Cherokee St in Wagoner. The main Sheriff's line runs 24 hours, and the jail has its own direct phone for booking and custody questions. The contact card below has the addresses and numbers you need to reach staff.
Wagoner County Jail
307 E Cherokee St
Wagoner, OK 74467
Jail: 918-485-7730
Sheriff's Office: 918-485-3124 (24 hours)
The jail is run by Jail Administrator Major Ryan Russell, who started at the Wagoner County Detention Center as a detention officer in February 2020 and was promoted to Jail Administrator on June 14, 2021. He completed CLEET in October 2024 and holds FBI-LEEDA leadership and internal-affairs training.
His record stands out for a small county jail. The Sheriff's Office credits him with the 2022 and 2024 Oklahoma Sheriff's Association Jail Administrator of the Year awards, the 2022 Sheriff's Office Employee of the Year award, and a 2024 Health Department infraction-free jail inspection. You can read more on the Sheriff's Office leadership page.
That leadership page also identifies Sheriff Chris Elliott and gives agency contacts, so it is a useful reference when a question reaches past the jail roster. No official jail capacity number was published in the sources reviewed, so this page does not state one.
Booking and First Appearance
Booking is the intake process that turns an arrest into a jail record. Staff record the person's identity and the charges, check for holds or warrants, and complete a health and classification screening before housing assignment. The booking date that the screening produces is the same date the roster sorts by.
After booking, a person held on new charges is brought before a judge for an initial appearance, where bond and the next court date are set. The arrest and booking side is documented in the county arrest record, while the charges the prosecutor files move forward through the District Court case. Following both gives the fullest picture of where someone stands.
Visitation Through City Tele Coin
Visits at the Wagoner County Jail run through City Tele Coin on a kiosk-based video system, not face-to-face in a visitation room. After you create an account, you can download the City Tele Coin app and set up a remote account tied to the inmate by selecting the facility. Indigent inmates may request a free online visit. The WCSO visitation and mail policy page sets the rules in the table below.
| Topic | Official Rule |
|---|---|
| Vendor | City Tele Coin handles video visits and inmate email. |
| Format | Kiosk-based video visitation; remote account set up through the City Tele Coin app or website. |
| Indigent inmates | May request a free online visit. |
| Visitor age | Visitors must be at least 18, or have a parent or legal guardian present. |
| Monitoring | All video visits are monitored and recorded. |
| Prohibited conduct | No nudity and no illicit or illegal activity. |
| Jail control | The jail may shut off any visit at any time, and privileges can be revoked for rule violations. |
The Sheriff's Office does not publish a daily visit schedule or video pricing in its public text, so confirm session windows and fees directly in City Tele Coin or with the jail before you plan a visit.
Wagoner County Inmate Mail Rules
Inmates may write to family and friends by mail. Every piece is opened and checked for contraband before it reaches the inmate, and only items that can be scanned will be processed. Bringing or helping contraband into a detention facility can be charged as a crime. Inmates may not write to other inmates, whether in the same jail or another facility.
Letters must include the sender's first and last name and a return address, or they will be sent back. Several items are not allowed in inmate mail.
- Newspapers and magazines.
- Polaroid pictures, and more than three to five photos per letter.
- Pens, pencils, blank paper, stamps, and envelopes.
- Cards with musical devices.
Address mail in this format so it reaches the right inmate:

Commissary and Inmate Funds
The Sheriff's Office navigation lists a "Commissary & Web Deposits" option for adding money to an inmate account. When that link was reviewed, it routed to a verification page, so the official online deposit steps, limits, and fees were not captured.
Because of that, this page does not state a deposit amount or vendor for the county jail. Confirm the current commissary and web-deposit details directly with the Wagoner County Jail before sending funds. The Oklahoma DOC "Send Money to an Inmate" tool applies only to state-prison inmates and is not a substitute for county jail deposits.
WCSO App Inmate Features
The Sheriff's Office also packages inmate information into a mobile app for people who would rather check from a phone. The official WCSO app page describes a single companion that pulls together inmate data, wanted persons, alerts, and reporting tools.
The app lists several features useful for tracking custody and public safety.
- Inmate information and recent arrests.
- Wanted persons and anonymous tips.
- Community alerts and Sheriff's news.
- Crime reporting and emergency contacts.
The website already offers the inmate search and most-wanted lists, so the app mainly gives a mobile path to the same booking and recent-arrest information.
WCSO Records Requests for Jail Reports
The roster shows custody status, not the underlying paperwork. For booking sheets, incident reports, or jail records that are not posted online, the WCSO Records Division handles formal requests. The Sheriff's Office records page lists the request process and the copy fees.
Published fees include public incident reports at $0.25 per page, document review and redaction at $20 per hour, video review and redaction at $30 per hour, and external thumb drives at $10 each. Court documents are released by approval only for signatures and paper delivery. A records request is the right channel when you need the document behind a booking rather than the status line on the roster.
