If someone you love was just arrested in Oklahoma County, you're probably stressed and need answers fast. This is what we do most — the large majority of our bonds are posted at the Oklahoma County Detention Center in downtown Oklahoma City. One call to (405) 973-6150 starts the process — any hour, any day.

The Oklahoma County Detention Center

Most Oklahoma County arrestees on county or state charges are booked into the Oklahoma County Detention Center, 201 N Shartel Ave, Oklahoma City, OK 73102. After booking — fingerprints, photo, charges recorded — a bond amount is set, and then a licensed bondsman can post bond to secure release. Municipal arrests from Oklahoma City, Edmond, Midwest City, or Del City may be held in a city jail first before transfer.

Call before you drive downtown

You don't need to come to the jail to start. Call (405) 973-6150 first — give us the arrestee's name and we'll confirm they're booked, find the bond amount, and tell you exactly what happens next. Most of the paperwork can be done by phone or electronically, so the bond is often already in motion before you'd have found parking.

When you call, have ready if you can:

• The arrestee's full legal name
• Their date of birth
• The arresting agency, if you know it (Oklahoma City Police, Oklahoma County Sheriff, etc.)

Don't worry if you don't have all of it — a name is enough for us to start.

How release from the Oklahoma County Jail works

1. Call (405) 973-6150 any time, day or night.
2. Give us the arrestee's full name (date of birth helps).
3. We confirm booking status and the bond amount with the detention center.
4. Paperwork is completed — much of it by phone or electronically.
5. The bond is posted and the release process begins.

Release times depend on the jail's workload — nights, weekends, and shift changes can slow things down. We'll give you an honest estimate, never a promised timeframe.

After release: court dates matter

Release is step one — the person must appear for every court date, typically Oklahoma County District Court for county and state charges, or the municipal court of the city where the arrest happened. Missing court can mean a warrant and bond forfeiture. We send our clients court-date reminders to help keep them on track.

Oklahoma County Jail bail bond FAQs

How do I find out if someone is in the Oklahoma County Jail?
Call us at (405) 973-6150 with the person's full name — we'll confirm whether they're booked at the detention center and find the bond amount. You can also check custody status on our Oklahoma inmate search page.

How long does it take to get out of the Oklahoma County Jail after bond is posted?
It depends on the jail's workload. Releases are generally faster during daytime hours and slower at night, on weekends, and during shift changes. We'll give you an honest estimate based on current conditions — never a guaranteed timeframe.

Can I bail someone out of the Oklahoma County Jail in the middle of the night?
Yes. Bonds can be posted around the clock, and we answer the phone 24/7. Most of the process can be handled by phone or electronically, so you don't have to wait until morning or drive downtown at 3am.

How much does it cost to bail someone out of the Oklahoma County Jail?
The premium is usually 10% of the bond amount, as set by Oklahoma law. If you can't cover it all at once, we offer payment plans — including 5% down on qualified bonds. Call (405) 973-6150 and we'll walk through your options with no pressure.

Do I have to go to the jail in person to post bond?
No. In most cases the entire process can be completed by phone and electronically. We'll tell you upfront if anything requires you to show up in person.

What is a walk-through bond at the Oklahoma County Jail?
If you have an outstanding Oklahoma County warrant, a walk-through lets you turn yourself in on your own terms: you're booked, we post the bond, and you're released — usually in hours instead of sitting in a cell waiting. Call us before you go and we'll have everything ready.
