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.

JLCC, situated just east of Boley on Oklahoma Highway 62, serves as a minimum-security prison for male inmates. Originally established in 1923 as a sanitarium for African-Americans afflicted with tuberculosis, the facility evolved over the years, serving as the State Training School for Negro Boys and later the Boley State School for Boys.

Following the closure of the school by the State Legislature in 1983, the property was transferred to the Oklahoma Department of Corrections (ODOC) and repurposed into a prison. Today, JLCC accommodates a significant portion of the state's elderly and physically challenged inmate population, boasting a capacity of over 800 individuals.

The facility pays tribute to its history and legacy by bearing the name of its first superintendent, John H. Lilley. Known for his unwavering dedication and compassion toward the institution's children, Lilley's influence is deeply ingrained in JLCC's ethos. Despite his untimely passing in 1933 due to a car accident, Lilley's legacy lives on, with his final resting place adjacent to the facility's entrance, serving as a poignant reminder of his enduring commitment to those under his care.
