McClain County Jail and Sheriff's Office

The Esau R. Green Detention Center is the county's main jail facility, located at 121 North Second Avenue in Purcell. The jail holds up to 55 inmates at medium security. The Sheriff's Office manages all bookings, records, and inmate searches for anyone held in McClain County custody. About 1,100 people are booked here each year, with roughly 40% released within a month.

The jail uses a real-time online roster system at mcclaincountysheriff.com/inmate-search. Each record shows the booking date and time, classification level, booking number, and current charges. Booking numbers follow a format like B25-001001 that ties the year to the sequence. You can search by first name, last name, or booking number. The system shows only people who are in custody at the time of the search.

Search McClain County Inmate Records

For released inmate data, the Oklahoma Open Records Act under Title 51, Sections 24A.1 through 24A.29 gives the public a right to request certain law enforcement records.

The Sheriff's Office still accepts written requests and may be able to confirm basic booking history.
