Latimer County Inmate Population Snapshot
Latimer County uses one local detention facility for the county jail population: the Latimer County Detention Center, operated by the Latimer County Sheriff's Office. The sheriff's detention page is the public county source for current local custody. It is not a full booking database. It is a simple table that listed 16 names when inspected, with a posted update time of 05/17/26 at 0000. Those names are the public online snapshot, not a full average daily population report.
Because Latimer County does not publish a jail population dashboard, the best population picture comes from several sources read together. The sheriff table shows the current listed roster count on one date. Vera Institute and Bureau of Justice Statistics county files give historical jail population and capacity figures. Census QuickFacts gives the county population base. Oklahoma jail standards and open-records laws explain why jail registers and detention operations matter as public records.
Latimer County Inmate Population Statistics
The most current official county web count is the sheriff's roster count. The broader Latimer County inmate population history is drawn from Vera/BJS county rows, which show a 2023 jail population of 28 and a 2019 jail population of 36. The same 2019 row reported capacity at 35. Earlier historical records and a 2006 correctional listing reported 16 beds, but the sheriff and county pages did not publish a current official rated capacity.
| Measure | Figure | Source / Year |
|---|---|---|
| Current public roster count | 16 names | Latimer sheriff detention page, May 17, 2026 |
| Jail population | 28 | Vera county CSV, 2023 |
| Jail population / capacity | 36 / 35 | Vera county CSV, 2019 |
| County population estimate | 9,645 | Census QuickFacts, July 1, 2025 |
Latimer County Inmate Population Trends
The Vera history shows a small jail with visible year-to-year movement. The population rose above the historical capacity measure in several years, including 2011 and 2013, and was slightly above the 2019 capacity figure if the row is treated as comparable. The 2023 row shows 28 people in the jail population, lower than the 2019 figure but higher than the 2026 sheriff web roster count. The latter is only one public roster snapshot, so it should not be read as an annual average.
| Year | Population / Capacity | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 16 current roster names | Sheriff snapshot, May 17, 2026 |
| 2023 | 28 population | Vera county row; capacity blank |
| 2019 | 36 / 35 | Vera county row |
| 2018 | 27 / 32.5 | Vera county row |
| 2013 | 26 / 20 | Above historical capacity measure |
| 2011 | 30 / 21.5 | Above historical capacity measure |
Who Makes Up the Latimer County Inmate Population
Latimer County's public roster does not break down the current jail by sex, age, race, charge level, or housing unit. Vera's 2019 county row gives the most complete older breakdown: 36 total jail population, 30.86 male, 5.14 female, 28 pretrial custody, and 8 sentenced custody. Race and ethnicity fields in that row included 28.8 White, 4.11 Native, 2.06 Latinx, and 1.03 Black. These are historical estimates from the dataset, not a live sheriff table.
The roster itself shows a jurisdiction clue that matters in Latimer County. The Court/Agency column used both District and Choctaw Nation. That means one person may need follow-up in Latimer County District Court while another may require tribal-court or tribal-agency follow-up. Latimer County is also in the Eastern District of Oklahoma, a federal district that includes Indian country, so some custody questions can move beyond the county courthouse.
Laws Governing Latimer County Jail Records
Oklahoma law gives the public a path to jail-register information, but it does not require the Latimer County website to publish a full profile for every person in custody. The sheriff's current table is a public aid. For more detail, a written Open Records Act request can ask for existing jail-register or booking records by exact name, date, and record type.
Key Oklahoma authorities:
51 O.S. Section 24A.5 covers general inspection and copying of public records during regular business hours unless an exemption applies.
51 O.S. Section 24A.8 covers law-enforcement records, arrestee descriptions, warrant dispositions, and jail registers if kept.
74 O.S. Section 192 is part of the Oklahoma Jail Standards Act and supports annual inspection oversight.
Title 57 jail provisions address sheriff duties, prisoner care, and capacity notice language.
How to Search Latimer County Inmates
The county lookup starts at the Latimer County Sheriff's Detention Center page. The roster is a static current-inmate table. It has no search box, no date filter, no released-inmate tab, and no clickable profile page. A user must read the update timestamp, scan names manually, and then use the jail phone or other systems when the table is missing a detail.
- Open the sheriff's detention page and check the posted update time first.
- Scan the Name column in last-name, first-name order.
- Read Bail Amount as a quick custody clue, not as a final court record.
- Use Court/Agency to decide whether District or Choctaw Nation follow-up may be needed.
- Call the jail when the table lacks charges, booking date, mugshot, or release details.
The public roster screenshot in the manifest comes from the sheriff detention page and shows the current-inmate table, jail phone, CorrectPay link, NCIC note, and 2026 bail bond list.
The image confirms why Latimer County inmate lookup copy must be precise: the county source is useful, but it does not work like a full database.
Latimer County Roster Search Fields
The Latimer County inmate population table has no search fields. Its public fields are still important because they show what can be confirmed online without a phone call. Missing fields should not be guessed from other Oklahoma jail sites.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name | Static text | Not applicable | Last name, first name; no profile link. |
| Bail Amount | Static text | Not applicable | Dollar amount or text such as No Bail, Sentenced, or the posted typo Sentected. |
| Court/Agency | Static text | Not applicable | Observed values include District and Choctaw Nation. |
| Updated timestamp | Page text | Not applicable | Shows when the snapshot was last posted. |
Latimer County Custody Lookup Fallbacks
When a name is absent from the county table, the absence is not final proof that the person is free. The person may have bonded out, moved to ODOC, been held under a tribal or federal path, or not yet appeared on the static roster. The jail phone line, Oklahoma VINE, court search tools, and state or federal locators each cover a different slice of custody.
| Custody question | Best source | Use when |
|---|---|---|
| Current county jail custody | Jail phone 918-465-4012 and sheriff roster | The person may be at the Latimer County Detention Center. |
| Custody alerts | Oklahoma VINELink | Release or transfer notification is needed. |
| State prison | ODOC OK Offender Lookup | The person is sentenced or transferred to state custody. |
| Federal custody | BOP Inmate Locator | The person is in BOP custody from 1982 to present. |
| Immigration custody | ICE ODLS | An A-number or birth information points to ICE custody. |
Latimer County Roster vs Court Records
The jail table shows custody hints. It does not show formal charges, statutes, counts, dispositions, or court dates. For state cases, ODCR lets users select Latimer in the Oklahoma District Courts dropdown and search by party name, case type, case number, filed date, or activity date. The Latimer County Court Clerk maintains permanent district court records and provides ODCR and OSCN links.
The ODCR screenshot in the image set shows the court dropdown and criminal case-type filters. That matters after an arrest because formal charges may appear in court after the jail record appears, and the charges filed by the prosecutor can differ from booking assumptions.
For court records after jail arrest, search District cases first when the roster says District; Choctaw Nation entries may need a tribal-court path.
Latimer County Detention Facilities
Build records resolve to one detention facility in Latimer County. No official separate county annex, city jail, regional detention center, state prison, federal prison, ICE facility, or U.S. Marshals detention center was found inside the county. Wilburton Police is a law-enforcement agency, but its official page did not publish a jail roster or separate holding facility page.
- Latimer County Detention Center holds local county detainees, district-court detainees, short local sentences, and some people listed with Choctaw Nation as court/agency.
Latimer County Public Safety Agencies
The Latimer County inmate population can involve more than one local public-safety office. The Sheriff's Office runs the jail, patrols rural areas, serves warrants, transports prisoners, and keeps custody information. Wilburton Police handles city law-enforcement work, traffic, warrant service, and investigations, but its official page did not publish a city jail roster. Latimer County 911 and dispatch can route urgent and after-hours public-safety calls, while the Court Clerk and District Attorney handle the case record after a jail arrest.
The official Wilburton Police page lists the department at 209 East Main Street, Wilburton, with Monday-Friday office hours and a dispatch path for after-hours non-emergency calls. That city source is useful when Wilburton officers made the arrest, but it does not replace the county jail table for current custody. The county contact directory also lists sheriff, court clerk, and 911 contact blocks, which helps separate jail questions from court-record and emergency-routing questions.
Latimer County's geography also affects search strategy. The county is rural, the county seat is Wilburton, and the public roster includes Choctaw Nation entries. A person may move between local, tribal, state, and federal systems depending on who made the arrest, which court has the case, and whether a sentence or detainer changes custody.
No Latimer sheriff mobile app was found for inmate lookup, warrants, mugshots, or records requests. Wilburton Connect exists, but the research identifies it as a city service-request and push-notification app, not a jail roster app. Custody readers should use the sheriff roster, jail phone, VINE, ODOC, court records, and federal or ICE locators instead.
Latimer County Inmate Record Terms
Small words on a roster can change the next step. The public Latimer table uses only a few fields, so each term should be read with care and verified before travel, bond payment, or a court call.
- Pretrial detainee
- A person held before the court case is resolved.
- Sentenced inmate
- A person serving a sentence locally or waiting for transfer.
- No Bail
- The public table shows no release bond available from the jail.
- Detainer or hold
- Another agency or court may block release even if local bond is posted.
- Jail register
- Booking information recognized in Oklahoma open-records law.
Latimer County Inmate Population FAQ
Does Latimer County have an online inmate search? The sheriff posts a current-inmate table, but it is not a searchable database. Scan the table and call the jail for missing details.
Does the Latimer County roster show mugshots? No booking photos were shown on the inspected sheriff table. Booking photo requests should start with the sheriff under the Oklahoma Open Records Act.
Why is Choctaw Nation listed on the roster? The Court/Agency column can identify tribal matters. Those entries may not follow the same path as Latimer County District Court cases.
Where are sentenced state prisoners listed? Sentenced people transferred to state custody are searched through ODOC's OK Offender Lookup, not the county roster.
Is there a Latimer sheriff mobile app? No sheriff inmate app was found. Wilburton Connect is a city service-request app, not a jail lookup tool.
