Custer County Booking Records and Public Access

Oklahoma law at Title 51 O.S. Section 24A.8 requires county jails to maintain jail registers as public records. These registers must include each prisoner's name, the date and cause of commitment, the authority that committed the prisoner, whether the charge is criminal, a physical description of the inmate, and the date of discharge or escape. The Custer County Sheriff's online inmate search is the digital version of this legally required record. The public has the right to access this information without making a formal request.

A typical Custer County booking record shows the inmate's name, a booking number, the booking date, the arresting agency, and the charges. Bond information appears once the court sets it. Court dates and case numbers may be linked to the booking record once they are entered in the system. The initial booking may show only the charges as filed at the time of arrest. More detail is added as the case proceeds. Records for people held on out-of-county warrants will typically list a hold charge from another jurisdiction.

Note: The online roster reflects current custody only. Past bookings and released inmates do not remain visible on the web page after the person leaves custody.
