Le Flore County Booking Record Contents
Oklahoma's Open Records Act requires all county jails to maintain jail registers as public records. Title 51 O.S. Section 24A.8 specifies the required data fields. These include the prisoner's name, date and cause of commitment, the committing authority, whether the offense is criminal, a physical description, and the date of discharge or escape. Le Flore County, like all Oklahoma counties, must maintain records that comply with this statute.
Beyond the statutory minimum, a Le Flore County booking record will typically include a booking number, the arresting agency, specific charge codes or statutes, bond information once set, and any holds from other jurisdictions. For cases involving the Arkansas border, there may also be extradition-related information if applicable. The booking record is a point-in-time document. Charges may change as the case moves through the district attorney's review and the courts. Final case outcomes appear in OSCN.net and court clerk records. If someone was convicted and sent to a state prison, they move out of the county system and into the ODOC database.
