Washita County Jail Release Office
Washita County Jail is operated by the Washita County Sheriff's Office. The sheriff lists the jail separately from the main nonemergency line. Administration handles ordinary office business on weekdays, while dispatch is staffed continuously. The Records Division maintains sheriff records and processes open-record requests.
Washita County Jail400 N McClary St
New Cordell, OK 73632
Jail: 580-832-2413
Main and nonemergency: 580-832-2370
Administration: Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Sheriff Kevin Rozell is identified by the official sheriff site. A request for a past release record goes to Records Division, while an immediate physical-custody question belongs with the jail. Dispatch availability does not mean the records office processes requests at all hours.
Search Washita County Jail Custody
The official inmate search is expressly limited to people currently in custody. It permits a name search and shows booking time, charges, and additional booking information. Cards can display a photograph or a no-image placeholder. Results are sorted by booking date. It is not a released-inmate archive and has no distinct 24-hour or 72-hour release window.
If the name appears, the jail reports current custody at the time of retrieval. Save that time because the roster can change. If no result appears, read the sheriff's own warning: the system may be updating, and the person may have been released or transferred. Those are different outcomes. Check a matched Oklahoma VINE record, call the jail, read the court history, and follow any held-for agency before reaching a conclusion.
A name leaving the Washita County Jail roster does not prove community release. It can also mark transfer or return to another custodian.
Confirm Washita County Jail Release
A strong confirmation joins several records rather than forcing one screen to answer every question. The live roster establishes whether WCSO still reports custody. VINE can report a release or transfer for the matched person and reporting agency. OSCN can show the legal authority. The jail's release or transfer transaction gives the actual local movement and destination.
- Search the WCSO current roster and note the retrieval time.
- Open VINELink, select Oklahoma, and compare the person's identifiers and reporting facility.
- Call the jail when present physical custody must be confirmed.
- Search Washita in OSCN for bond, dismissal, judgment, release order, or transfer clues.
- Request the release or transfer transaction from WCSO Records Division.
- If the record names another holder, repeat the check with that county, tribe, state, ODOC, BOP, or ICE.
A court release order authorizes a result but can coexist with another case or hold. VINE is also agency-fed and can lag. The jail record remains the best local source for the physical departure time and destination.
Washita County Jail Release Destinations
There is no single destination after Washita custody. A local defendant may enter the community after accepted bond, recognizance, time served, dismissal, sentence completion, or other lawful authority. A sentenced felony defendant can instead be delivered to the Oklahoma Department of Corrections. A person held for another county, tribe, state, or federal agency can return or transfer to that authority. An immigration hold can lead to ICE custody.
| Departure | Next verification route |
|---|---|
| Community release | WCSO release transaction and court authority |
| ODOC transfer | Statewide ODOC offender lookup and records |
| Return to another county | Sending county's jail or detention center |
| Tribal or out-of-state hold | The authority named in the booking or movement record |
| Federal custody | USMS or BOP route, depending on case stage |
| ICE handoff | WCSO confirmation and ICE current detainee locator |
The route on the Washita County released inmate search changes with the named destination. ODOC does not cover a county-only bond release, and BOP does not settle county or immigration custody.
Washita County Jail Boarded Detainees
Multi-agency custody is a distinctive local issue. An official Comanche County agenda records an agreement under which Washita County boarded Comanche County Detention Center inmates from January 1 through June 30, 2026. A separate July 31 observation of Washita's live data still displayed several “housing for Comanche County” classifications. No renewal document was found, so the later observation cannot prove that the written contract continued.
The evidence does establish why a Washita roster removal can mean return to Comanche rather than release to the local community. Check both facilities and ask which agency authorized the movement. The documented direction also matters: Washita received Comanche detainees. It would be inaccurate to state that Comanche housed Washita detainees under that cited agreement.

Washita County Jail ICE Holds
The official live data included a 287(g) 48-hour ICE-hold classification on a dated July 31 observation. This supports an individual hold-handling example. It does not prove Washita County Jail is a permanent ICE detention center, establish a broad ICE contract, or apply the same outcome to every detainee.
When the named person leaves the local search, ask WCSO whether the movement was a community release or an ICE handoff. Then use the ICE Online Detainee Locator for current adult immigration custody. The locator can omit or delay records and does not include minors. A no-result does not prove release. The ICE Detention Reporting and Information Line at 1-888-351-4024 is the official fallback.
Request Washita County Jail Records
The WCSO Records Division is the official route for a past booking, release, or transfer record. No public form, direct records email, fee, turnaround, delivery method, retention schedule, or categorical photo-release rule is posted. Make the request narrow. Ask staff for an estimate before a fee is incurred, and do not assume a record exists in a particular format.
- Provide the full name, aliases, booking number, court case, and an approximate date range when known.
- Request the existing booking or jail-register entry and actual release or transfer transaction.
- Ask for release authority, destination or receiving agency, bond entry, and holds or detainers.
- Request the booking photograph as a separate existing record.
- Choose inspection, electronic copy, or paper copy and ask what the office can provide.
- If any part is withheld, ask for the legal basis and whether a redacted version is available.
Oklahoma's Open Records Act applies to existing public records. It does not require an agency to build a custom report that it does not keep. Juvenile, confidential, sealed, or expunged material may be restricted.
Washita County Jail Oversight
The Oklahoma State Department of Health jail program states that city and county detention facilities are inspected at least annually under state law. Its standards address admission and release procedures, security, sanitation, living areas, medical care, emergency exits, and continuous supervision. That statewide oversight helps identify the agency responsible for jail standards.
No directly indexed current Washita inspection report was found in the project research. A specific capacity, inspection grade, compliance result, or release practice should not be inferred from the general oversight page.
The official Oklahoma jail oversight page explains the rules applied to Washita County Jail.
The image supports the statewide inspection framework, not a claim about a particular Washita inspection outcome.
Washita County Post-Release Waiting Rule
The official visitation page says anyone previously held by WCSO must wait at least 30 days after release before visiting a person currently incarcerated there. This is a concrete operational rule after release. It also shows that the jail maintains an authoritative release date internally even though the public live roster does not show release history.
Ask the jail administrator how the period is calculated if the release date is uncertain. Do not estimate it from the day a name vanished online. The rule concerns a former detainee's eligibility to visit a current inmate and does not itself prove why or where that former detainee left.
The sheriff's visitation page states the post-release waiting period and other visitation conditions.
That rule is one reason an exact WCSO release date can matter beyond the court docket.
Washita County Jail Record Limits
No official source established a fixed daily release time, release door, property-pickup procedure, transportation program, weekend schedule, pay-to-stay fee, bed capacity, local release statistics, sheriff app, or public recent-release retention period. Those details should not be borrowed from another Oklahoma jail. Ask WCSO when a practical question depends on a local procedure.
Similarly, a current booking photograph can disappear when the active card is removed. The official fallback is a targeted Records Division request or, in a publicized case, an official sheriff post. A commercial gallery is not an authoritative record. A booking photo records intake appearance and proves neither guilt nor later release.
