The Oklahoma City Transitional Center - CoreCivic located at 5245 I-35 Service Rd Oklahoma City, OK, focuses on successful offender reintegration into society, crucial for effective crime control. With high recidivism rates, evidence-based practices tailor programs for medium to high-risk individuals, reducing repeat offenses. Reentry and Treatment Centers offer structured environments and various programs aiding rehabilitation and community reconnection efforts. Collaborating with the Oklahoma Sheriff's Department, the Oklahoma Department of Corrections, and sometimes the US Marshal Service/Federal Bureau of Prisons, comprehensive reentry services prioritize education, substance abuse treatment, and workforce development. Facilities assist officers in monitoring compliance and serve as alternatives to pretrial detention, considering cost-effectiveness and reducing overcrowding. Emphasizing individual needs, family support, and community integration, the center aims for holistic support, empowering successful reintegration.

The Transitional Center, under the supervision of the Oklahoma Department of Corrections and managed by CoreCivic, is dedicated to inmate reentry preparation. It offers a comprehensive range of programs that emphasize education, vocational training, life skills development, addictions treatment, and faith-based services.

Academic Education: Educational programs are a cornerstone of inmate rehabilitation, significantly reducing recidivism rates. The center provides Adult Basic Education, including in Spanish, and opportunities for inmates to pursue advanced degrees. Each inmate’s education begins with testing and evaluation to tailor instruction to their needs.

Vocational Training: The center’s vocational programs are designed to equip inmates with marketable skills that can lead to employment post-release. Training is available in various trades, such as carpentry, HVAC, plumbing, and culinary arts. CoreCivic is accredited by the National Center for Construction Education and Research, ensuring high-quality training standards.

Life Skills Development: The center focuses on life skills training using a cognitive-behavioral approach to help inmates develop better decision-making and problem-solving skills. Programs include parenting, financial management, occupational readiness, and interpersonal skills. These programs are aimed at helping inmates reintegrate into society as responsible citizens.

Addictions Treatment: With a high percentage of inmates suffering from substance use disorders, the center offers evidence-based treatment programs. The Residential Drug Abuse Program (RDAP) provides intensive, structured support in a separate unit, promoting pro-social behaviors through group and individual counseling.

Faith-Based Programs: CoreCivic offers a variety of voluntary faith-based programs to nurture inmates' spiritual needs. These programs, supported by partnerships with national and local religious organizations, help inmates develop a moral foundation and prepare for reintegration into society.

The Center offers a phone program for outbound calls only, with inmates unable to receive incoming calls. Accepting collect calls can be expensive, sometimes exceeding $10 per call. Alternatively, setting up an account through a third-party phone company may entail high fees per minute of usage. Click here for discounts on inmate calls, especially if the communication with your inmate is frequent. It's important to remember that all phone calls are recorded, and discussing sensitive legal matters over these lines is discouraged.

Books and magazines 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. The Jail enforces 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.

These programs and regulations aim to break the cycle of recidivism, offering inmates the tools and support needed for a successful transition back into the community.

Visitation Information

Oklahoma City Transitional Center - CoreCivic - Visitation

Entering a Facility for Visitation
Visiting a correctional facility can feel intimidating, especially for a first-time visitor.
We have our specific processes and rules, strict security measures, uniformed staff, and words and terminology you may not be familiar with. Ultimately, those security features are in place to protect you and your loved one although we understand the potential for concern or confusion.
Our goal is for visitors to be comfortable, even impressed, by our facility environment during your visit. We simply ask that you help us maintain safety and security by following our important guidelines.
Contraband and Personal Items
When entering one of our facilities, typically, visitors are only permitted to bring in an ID and a small amount of cash ($10 or less) or a vending card for use at the facility’s vending machines during visitation. Please check with the facility before visitation for specific information on the use of vending cards or cash.
Proper identification must be a valid driver’s license or a government-issued ID. Some facilities require a birth certificate to be presented for children attending visitation, so check the requirements of the specific facility you are visiting.
For security reasons, visitors will not be allowed to take any personal items or gifts into the facility – including cell phones, wallets, purses, food, gifts, magazines or books.
Attempting to pass any of these unapproved items through security, even if accidentally, is illegal. Please leave all personal items in your vehicle. Some facilities offer lockers in the facility lobby for storing these items. Additionally, attempting to introduce illegal contraband, such as cigarettes, drugs and alcohol, weapons, and cell phones, to a facility inmate is considered a security threat and will result in immediate legal action.
Visitation and Inmate Contact
There are different types of visitation, depending on the facility and the inmate’s classification – contact visitation, noncontact visitation, and, occasionally, video visitation.
Most of our facilities have both contact and non-contact visitation. Appropriate contact with your loved one – such as hugging – varies. Our staff will help you understand the appropriate contact rules for your time with your loved one.
Typically contact visitation will be held in a large room with tables. Some facilities have a designated visitation room. Others may use educational rooms for visitation.
Noncontact visitation includes the use of individual booths with telephones for speaking with inmates.
Visitation List and Approval
During the inmate orientation process, inmates will mail a visitation application form to the friends and family members who want to visit.
It is the inmate’s responsibility to mail the applications. Individuals who receive the application must complete the form and mail it back to the specific CoreCivic facility to initiate the approval process. All facility visitors must be approved through a background check before visiting an inmate.
Once the background checks are completed, the inmate is responsible for informing friends and family members that they are approved for visitation. Please ensure that, as a visitor, you have been approved before planning your visit. An inmate can change or update their list over time. If an inmate is transferred to another correctional facility, please check with the facility before visiting to ensure all records were transferred at the time of the move.
Passing Security - Every visitor who enters our correctional facilities must pass through our security measures before proceeding to a visitation area.
Visitors will be screened through a metal detector, much like what you would experience in an airport. However, our metal detector settings are much more sensitive than typical metal detectors. When preparing for your visit, please be sure to consider any metal on your clothing, including underwear and shoes.
Visitation Dress Code
The facility has a strict dress code for visitors, and each facility’s dress code may vary, sometimes depending on the specific requirements of our government partner. Please review the specific dress code requirements for the facility you are visiting before your visit.
