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.
Established in 1927 within a former hospital, JBCC originally served as a trusty unit of the adjacent Oklahoma State Penitentiary. However, it transitioned into a standalone institution in 1985. Named after former Oklahoma State Penitentiary Deputy Associate Warden Jackie Brannon, JBCC is situated on 1,506 acres in northwest McAlester and houses over 700 inmates across three housing units.
Within JBCC's expansive grounds, Agri-Services operates various agricultural facilities, including a meat processing center, a dairy and milk processing center, an egg distribution center, and both cow/calf and beef cattle operations.
JBCC hosts the Substance Abuse Treatment program, offering intensive cognitive treatment to offenders with documented substance abuse histories. The six-month program features sessions five days a week, five hours a day, with a maximum of forty participants per cycle. Throughout the program, participants engage in individual and group counseling sessions focused on behavioral modification, the effects of chemical abuse, goal setting, and relapse prevention. With two cycles per year, the program aims to support inmates in overcoming substance dependency and fostering positive behavioral change.
JBCC maintains a database of current inmates and their locations within the system. To locate an inmate, begin by using the DOC locator tool, which requires entering the first three letters of the inmate's first and last name, allowing for variations in spelling.
If unable to locate the desired information through free resources, users may opt to use the Arrest Record Search, which requires payment. While this option incurs a small fee, it provides access to the most up-to-date data available.
Visitation hours vary by each facility. An inmate's security level dictates how many hours he or she may visit with approved visitors.
Important Note: All inmate visitors must submit a “Visitor Request Form." You can download a copy here, or request one from the facility. Background checks will be completed on everyone 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 JBCC.
