Delaware County Jail Roster Overview
The official local lookup is the Delaware County Sheriff's Office inmate search. The sheriff site describes the roster as the way to see who is in jail at the Delaware County Justice Center, and the page states that it is updated hourly. Current cards are sorted by booking date and can show the inmate name, booking date, and a booking photo or no-image placeholder. Profile links open booking details, charges, deposit links, commissary links, and Oklahoma VINE notification access when available.
The roster is not a statewide inmate database. It is for people currently booked into the Delaware County Jail / Delaware County Justice Center in Jay, including new arrestees, pretrial detainees, warrant inmates, book-and-bond records, local sentenced custody, and entered holds. If a person has been released, transferred to ODOC, held by federal authorities, or moved into immigration detention, the Delaware County roster may no longer be the right place to search.
How to Use the Delaware County Inmate Roster
Start with the official roster when the question is, "how do I find someone in the Delaware County jail?" The search is free, public, and name-filtered. Recent bookings, older records, release or transfer status, and outside custody may require the 72-hour report, jail phone, records request, VINE, ODOC, BOP, USMS, ICE, or the sheriff app.
- Open the official inmate search page and note the hourly-update warning.
- Browse the card grid if the arrest is recent, since current inmates are sorted by booking date.
- Type part of the person's name into the "Search by Name..." field to filter the roster.
- Open the inmate card or profile link to review the booking date, demographics, inmate ID, charges, and photo if one is published.
- Compare the roster details with the person's known name, age, sex, race, residence city, and arrest timeline before assuming it is the right person.
- Check the 72-hour booking report if the person was booked very recently or if a printable recent-booking view is easier to review.
- Use Oklahoma VINE if the roster does not show the person and release or transfer is possible.
- Call the jail at (918) 253-4530 for custody status, bond questions, or details that do not appear online.
- Use the sheriff Records Division for older booking records or releasable records that are not online.
- Switch to OK Offender, BOP or U.S. Marshals channels, or ICE when custody is no longer local.

The screenshot matters because the roster is not a static alphabetical list. The search field filters live booking cards, and profile links lead to the fields that answer what does a roster record show.
Delaware County Roster Search Fields
The current Delaware County roster has one visible search field and generated navigation controls. It does not publish separate first-name, last-name, booking-number, housing-unit, or facility dropdown fields.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Search by Name... | Text input | No mark shown | Filters roster cards by name through the page's filter value. |
| Pagination | Generated controls | Not applicable | API metadata supports first, previous, next, last, current page, and total pages. |
| Inmate card link | Clickable profile card | Not applicable | Opens a profile URL using a BookingID value. |
| VINE Link | Outbound notification link | Optional | Used when custody notification or release/transfer status is needed. |
What a Delaware County Inmate Profile Shows
A Delaware County profile is a public booking record, not a court judgment. It can identify a person in current jail custody, but charges can later change when the prosecutor files or amends a court case.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| BookingID | Internal public profile identifier used in the roster URL and API. |
| InmateID | Public inmate identifier used on the profile and in the VINE notification link. |
| BookingNum | Booking number in an observed format such as YY-NNNNN, although it may be more visible in report data than on the profile display. |
| BookingDate | Date and time the person was booked into the jail. |
| ReleaseDate | May be blank for current custody and can support release reporting if populated. |
| Name fields | Full name and first, middle, and last name fields used by roster cards and reports. |
| Sex, race, DOB, age | Basic demographics, with age calculated for profile display. |
| Classification | Local status category, with observed values including PC Aff. Inmate, Warrant Inmate, and Book and Bond. |
| Pic | Booking-photo filename when an image exists; a blank value triggers the official no-image placeholder. |
| City, state, ZIP | Residence or location fields; the profile displays the city rather than a full street address. |
| Charges | Booking or arrest charge text. This is not the same as a conviction or final court disposition. |
Bond amount, housing pod, court date, case number, arresting agency, attorney, and projected release date were not shown in the inspected public profile. For those items, call the jail, check court records, or use a records request when the information is releasable.
Full Access Channel Chain
No single tool answers every Delaware County custody question. Use the roster first for current jail custody, then move outward.
| Channel | Best Use | Important Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Official roster | Current Delaware County Jail inmates, profile fields, and photos when present. | May lose people after release or transfer. |
| 72-hour booking report | Recent booking review with a print/PDF option and booking-photo report layout. | Recent-booking tool, not a full historical archive. |
| Jail phone | Custody status, bond questions, release/transfer uncertainty, and fields not shown online. | Call (918) 253-4530 and expect staff to follow privacy and release rules. |
| In-person records request | Older booking records, incident reports, or public records not displayed online. | Records Division in-person hours are Monday-Friday 9 a.m.-3 p.m.; some reports require subpoena. |
| Oklahoma VINE | Custody status and telephone or email notification for release or transfer. | Free 24-hour service, but it does not replace official jail or court records. |
| ODOC OK Offender | Sentenced prisoners in Oklahoma Department of Corrections custody. | Requires accepting the ODOC disclaimer and is separate from county jail custody. |
| BOP and USMS | Federal sentenced prisoners, former federal prisoners, or federal pretrial custody questions. | Federal custody does not automatically appear on the county roster. |
| ICE detainee locator | Immigration detention searches by A-number or biographical data. | ICE custody is separate from a Delaware County criminal booking. |
| Sheriff app | Mobile access to inmate information, recent arrests, wanted persons, tips, alerts, reports, contacts, and resources. | Google Play listing was located; the Apple URL was not exposed in the inspected page HTML. |
County Jail vs DOC, Federal, and ICE Custody
The Delaware County Jail is a local detention facility for arrestees, pretrial detainees, warrant inmates, book-and-bond processing, some local sentences, and entered holds. After a felony sentence to prison, lookup usually shifts to ODOC and OK Offender. Federal defendants may involve U.S. Marshals custody, sentenced federal prisoners are searched through BOP, and immigration detention uses ICE's locator.
| Custody Type | Where to Look | What It Covers |
|---|---|---|
| County jail, pretrial, warrant, book and bond | Delaware County sheriff roster and jail phone | Current local custody at the Delaware County Jail / Delaware County Justice Center. |
| Recent county booking | 72-hour booking report | Recent intake and printable booking-report fields. |
| Sentenced Oklahoma prison custody | OK Offender locator | ODOC custody after sentencing and prison transfer workflow. |
| Federal prisoner | BOP inmate locator | BOP custody and searchable federal prisoner records. |
| Federal pretrial defendant | U.S. Marshals and federal court context | Federal holds, transport, or contract custody questions. |
| Immigration detention | ICE Online Detainee Locator System | Immigration custody searched by A-number or exact biographical information. |

Booking Process in Delaware County
Delaware County did not publish a full booking handbook in the reviewed sources, so the practical sequence comes from observed roster fields and Oklahoma jail context. A local booking generally follows arrest or warrant contact, transport to the jail, identity processing, booking photo, classification, charge entry, possible bond or book-and-bond processing, custody placement, roster update, and first appearance or court processing.
A new arrest may not appear immediately because the roster updates hourly. Booking charges are also not the same as court-filed charges, so Delaware County District Court records should be checked separately for filed, amended, dismissed, or resolved charges.
Visitation Hours and Rules
The sheriff visitation page describes an established schedule but did not publish a day-by-day timetable in the captured text. Call before travel. Visitors report to the lobby, register, present valid passport or U.S./state government-issued picture ID, follow staff instructions, and leave through the jail lobby after the visit.
| Topic | Delaware County Jail Rule |
|---|---|
| Schedule | Established schedule, not posted in the captured text. Confirm with the jail before arrival. |
| Registration | Visitors report to the lobby to register. |
| ID | Valid passport or U.S./state government-issued picture identification required. |
| Juveniles | Must be accompanied by parent, guardian, or custodian and cannot be left unattended. |
| Adults | Only one adult visitor at a time. |
| Visit length | Each inmate receives 15 minutes for visitation. |
| Search | Visitors are subject to search. |
| Contraband | Food, beverages, purses, bags, phones, cameras, drugs, weapons, alcohol, tobacco, and contraband are prohibited. |
| Conduct | Visits depend on good behavior, and inmate rule violations can revoke visitation. |
Mail, Records Requests, and Notifications
General correspondence is opened and inspected for contraband and may be read for safety or security threats. Privileged legal, court, government, or elected-official mail is handled separately: incoming privileged mail is opened only in the inmate's presence for contraband, not read or censored. Photos must not be sexual, must be unframed, cannot be instant-camera photos, and are limited to 4x6 when allowed.
The sheriff Records Division maintains office records and processes open-records requests. In-person records hours are Monday-Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Victims receive one free incident-report copy with acceptable ID, while additional copies can carry established fees. Some reports may be emailed, and some can be released only by subpoena.
Oklahoma VINE is the notification channel linked from the roster and profile workflow. It is a free, automated, 24-hour telephone and internet custody-status service, with registration through VINELink or 1-877-654-8463. It does not provide parole notification.
Commissary and Inmate Funds
The Delaware County sheriff commissary page links county jail deposits and commissary to Prodigy Solutions, JailATM, and Tiger Commissary. Web deposits can be made by credit or debit card, and the jail lobby has a kiosk for cash or debit/credit deposits. Commissary orders are due Friday morning before 9:00 a.m.
Do not mix county jail deposit rules with ODOC prison money rules. ODOC says JPay is the only acceptable way to send money to an inmate in ODOC custody, using the full seven-digit ODOC number.
Confirm first: verify current custody with the jail or the correct locator before sending money, mailing items, or traveling for visitation.
