It's important to remember that all phone calls are recorded, and discussing sensitive legal matters over these lines is discouraged.

While incarcerated, reading is often the best use of time. Please note that books and magazines, puzzles, and word searches ordered for inmates must come directly from the publisher. This policy ensures that the items are new, untampered, and comply with the facility's regulations. Prisons and jails enforce this rule to prevent the introduction of contraband or prohibited materials. By restricting orders to publishers, the facility can better maintain security and control over the content entering the institution. Any books or magazines not received directly from the publisher will be rejected and not delivered to the inmate. You may, however, send letters and selfies to inmates with this easy-to-use app, packages starting at only $8.00.

NOCCC serves as a vital institution for adult male inmates, situated in Vinita on the premises formerly known as Eastern State Hospital. The facility's origins trace back to 1980 when a trusty unit was established to offer institutional support to the hospital.

The collaboration between the Department of Corrections and the Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services at Eastern State Hospital began in 1985 with the inception of the Treatment Alternatives for Drinking Drivers (TADD) program. This marked the initial steps towards utilizing the site for correctional purposes.

In 1987, the Department of Corrections' Agri-Services Unit initiated the leasing of farmland at Eastern State Hospital, laying the foundation for further integration of correctional activities into the facility. Subsequently, legislative actions in 1994 transferred three major buildings at Eastern State Hospital to the Department of Corrections, marking a significant shift towards repurposing the site for prison bed space.

The transition culminated in December 1994 when the first inmates were relocated to the newly established NOCCC, signifying a pivotal moment in the facility's history. In the following years, efforts to enhance infrastructure led to the construction of a new 264-bed housing unit, dining/kitchen facilities, Central Control, and a warehouse/maintenance building.

Even today, a segment of the inmate population at NOCCC contributes to institutional maintenance and support functions for both the Oklahoma Forensic Center and NOCC, underscoring the facility's multifaceted role within the correctional system. With a current inmate population exceeding 500, NOCCC continues to play a crucial role in providing rehabilitation and support services to male offenders in northeastern Oklahoma.

Visitation Information

Visitation hours vary by each facility, but an inmate's security level dictates how many hours he may visit with approved visitors.

Inmates may visit on Saturday, Sunday and state-recognized holidays.

Important Note: All inmate visitors must submit a “Visitor Request Form." You can find a copy of it here. Background checks will be completed on everyone over 18 or older. The inmate will notify you when the process is complete. The approval process takes approximately 8 weeks once the Visitor Request Form has been returned to NOCCC.

General population inmates may visit up to eight hours each week depending on their level, from 8:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.

  • Level I - One hour of non-contact per week with individuals on the inmate's approved visiting list.
  • Level II - Up to four hours per week
  • Level III - Up to six hours per week
  • Level IV - Up to eight hours per week

State-recognized holidays that fall on Monday through Friday are “free” visiting day. An inmate's level will dictate the number of hours an inmate may visit on the free visiting day.

Holidays are free visitation days. Visits on those days do not count against an inmate's total number of hours allowed. If a holiday falls on Saturday or Sunday, those hours will count toward inmates' total visiting privilege level hours.

Segregation Housing Inmates

NOCCC segregation housing unit inmates are allowed a one-hour non-contact visit per week with only their mother, father, spouse, legal representative and clergy.

These visiting privileges unless the warden/designee has determined there are substantial reasons for withholding privileges.

Visitation Violations

Violating these rules and others may result in loss of visitation privileges on the first offense based on the seriousness of the violation:

  • Escape (aiding and abetting)
  • Introduction of weapons(s)
  • Introduction of cellular phones/accessories/electronic devices
  • Tobacco, tobacco products, drugs or alcohol (illegal)
  • Assaults (staff/visitors/inmates; verbal and/or physical)
