Custer County Jail Overview

Custer County Jail is operated by the Custer County Sheriff's Office. Official sheriff and county pages list the public location as 300 North 7th Ave., Arapaho, OK 73620, with the office phone at (580) 323-1616. The county-government sheriff page identifies Dan Day as sheriff and says the sheriff has power and authority to operate the county jail, preserve the peace, serve warrants and process, and secure people charged with felonies or breaches of the peace.

The jail is a county detention facility, not a state prison. Public sources did not publish pod names, male and female bed splits, medical unit details, a work-release unit, or a public housing map. The public roster API has a classification field, but inspected current records had it blank. People held at Custer County Jail can include adult pretrial detainees, local sentenced misdemeanants, municipal arrestees after county booking, and people awaiting release or transfer.

Custer County Jail Population

The best current population source for Custer County Jail is the live sheriff roster count. On June 25, 2026, the count endpoint returned 119 current in-custody records, and the booking endpoint returned 119 total booking records across five pages. That number is a point-in-time current custody count. It is not an average daily population and should not be used as a full-year jail population trend.

Official current rated capacity was not located in sheriff, county, ODOC, or state sources reviewed. The Prisoners of the Census Oklahoma correctional population table listed Custer County Jail at 142 local facility population on December 31, 2013. A non-official local-news search snippet described 128 official capacity and 131 average daily population in June 2017, but current capacity and overcrowding should not be claimed from that snippet.

Custer County Jail Inmate Lookup

Current inmate lookup for this facility uses the official Custer County Jail inmate search. The sheriff page says it shows in-custody inmates, booking dates, charges, and additional information. The page metadata says the roster is updated hourly. Booking cards are sorted newest first, and each card can open a profile by booking ID.

1. Open the Custer County Jail inmate search on the sheriff's website.
2. Browse recent booking cards or type a name in the "Search by Name..." field.
3. Use pagination if the person is not on the first roster page.
4. Open the inmate profile to review the photo if available, inmate ID, booking date, demographics, and charges.
5. Use Oklahoma VINE or call the jail if the profile is missing, because the person may have been released, transferred, or not yet posted.

Sentenced state prisoners from Custer County are not searched through this jail roster after transfer. Use the Oklahoma Offender Lookup for ODOC custody, the BOP inmate locator for federal custody, and the ICE detainee locator for immigration custody.

Custer County Jail Address

The sheriff's official site and county-government pages use the Arapaho address for the jail and sheriff's office. The county-government page also lists the mailing address and fax. Use the physical address for visits, map searches, and in-person jail questions. Use the PO Box where the sheriff's pages specify mailing, including money orders addressed to an inmate.

Custer County Jail Record Fields

The public Custer County Jail profile is built from booking data, but it is not a full court file or full jail-management record. The inspected sample profile showed a mugshot when available, name, sex, race, ethnicity field, calculated age, city if present, inmate ID, booking date and time, and charges. It did not show a public bond amount, court date, case number, arresting agency, housing unit, release date, or statute code.

Visit Custer County Jail

Custer County Jail visitation is video-only through Prodigy/InmateSales. The official visitation page says visits must be scheduled 24 hours in advance, visitors must have valid ID, and a headshot photo without effects is required. Inmates may have one 15-minute visit per week. In-house visitation is free, and all visits are recorded.

Visitor rules are strict. Visitors must be properly dressed, may be searched, and may be denied if under the influence. The visitation area bars cell phones, cameras, electronic or Bluetooth devices, laptops, chargers, knives, firearms, ammunition, tobacco products, lighters, and e-cigarettes. Persons previously incarcerated in the detention center may not visit any inmate for six months after release.

Custer County Jail Mail

Mail should be addressed to Custer County Jail, the inmate's name, 300 North 7th Ave., Arapaho, OK 73620. The official mail policy requires full first and last names and full addresses for both sender and recipient. The jail limits envelopes to #10 or smaller and postage to no more than $0.50.

The mail rules reject decorated mail, stickers, perfume, lipstick, lip gloss, scents, metallic fixtures, painted paper, printed-on paper, printed photo collages, greeting cards, staples, paper clips, laminated plastic, printed social media pages, newspaper clippings, comic strips, blank paper, envelopes, stamps, and unauthorized inmate-to-inmate correspondence. Photos may not be larger than 4x6 and may not show alcohol, nudity, weapons, tobacco, illegal activity, or Polaroid format. Noncompliant mail is returned to the sender.

Custer County Jail Commissary

Custer County Jail commissary and money deposits use JailATM/Prodigy. The official commissary page links to web deposits, gift packs, and commissary ordering. It also says interested persons may call 580-323-1616 from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM, Monday-Friday for more information.

Custer County Jail Records Requests

No sheriff-specific online open-records request form, fee schedule, or turnaround time was located. For jail registers, booking records, incident or offense reports, and booking photos not on the live roster, use the sheriff's office contact channels. A request should include the person's full name, approximate booking date, booking number if known, date of birth or age if known, and the record requested.

Oklahoma's Open Records Act and 51 O.S. 24A.8 support public access to certain law-enforcement records if kept, including arrestee descriptions, facts about arrests, and jail registers. Confidential material may still be withheld. For prosecutor-filed charges, use OSCN or ODCR and the Custer County Court Clerk, because the jail roster is not the court docket.

Custer County Jail Booking Intake

The public research did not locate a Custer County booking manual, but the roster fields and Oklahoma jail standards show the broad path. A person arrested in Custer County may be transported to the jail, identified, searched, entered into a booking system, photographed, assigned a booking number and inmate ID, screened, and listed on the public roster if held. Property is inventoried and returned against the inventory list at release under Oklahoma jail standards.

Roster timing can matter. The sheriff roster says it shows current in-custody inmates and the page metadata says it is updated hourly. A person arrested minutes ago may not appear. A person who was released or transferred may disappear from the public profile. VINE, phone contact, and a records request are the fallback channels when the profile is missing.

Custer County Jail Directions

Custer County Jail is in Arapaho, the county seat, at the sheriff's public address. Visitors from Clinton or Weatherford generally approach through I-40 area routes and local roads into Arapaho. The sheriff site does not publish turn-by-turn directions, visitor parking rates, public transit, or a separate ADA entrance description, so confirm practical details before travel.

Video visitation and the lobby kiosk can reduce the need for repeated in-person trips, but on-site kiosk access can still depend on facility entry. If the door is locked before 8 AM, after 4 PM, or on a weekend, the commissary page says visitors can push the button to be let into the lobby for the kiosk. Call the jail if weather, holiday schedules, lockdowns, or accessibility needs may affect entry.
