Pushmataha County Jail Overview
Pushmataha County Jail is operated by the Pushmataha County Sheriff's Office in Antlers. It is the county jail for adult local custody: people arrested locally and awaiting first appearance, people held on warrants, people with pending Pushmataha County District Court matters, short-term county sentences if accepted, and people awaiting pickup or transfer by another agency. The research did not locate a separate work-release annex, city jail with a public roster, state prison, federal Bureau of Prisons facility, or ICE detention facility inside Pushmataha County.
The most consistent official and professional-directory address for the sheriff and jail complex is 207 SW 3rd St, Antlers, OK 74523, with the main phone number 580-298-2475. The official sheriff social page renders an address variant on SW C Street, but the Oklahoma Association of Chiefs of Police directory and Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics directory list the SW 3rd Street location. Call before arrival to confirm the visitor entrance, records counter, and whether the person is physically housed in Antlers.
The current sheriff identified in the research is B.J. Hedgecock. Local official sources did not publish a detailed building history, housing-unit map, lobby hours, public parking instructions, public-transit route, or current online detention manual. Oklahoma's Jail Standards Act supplies the statewide standards context for detention facilities and lockups, but the local Pushmataha County rules for visitation, mail, money, and property were not published in the sources reviewed.
Pushmataha County Jail Capacity and Population
No current official rated capacity, average daily population, annual booking count, demographic breakdown, or population dashboard was located for Pushmataha County Jail. The only local high-authority numbers found are dated references. They are useful for scale, but they should not be repeated as a current bed count or current inmate population without confirmation from the sheriff, OSDH inspection materials, or another current official source.
| Measure | Figure | Source / Year |
|---|---|---|
| Current official rated capacity | Not located | No official local capacity page located |
| Current average daily population | Not located | No county jail dashboard located |
| Local jail occupants | 17 | Prisoners of the Census, 12/31/2013 |
| Jail size / telecom appendix listing | 38-person jail listing | Prison Policy Initiative phone-rate appendix, 2022 |
| Phone provider reference | NCIC listed in 2022 | Prison Policy Initiative phone-rate appendix, 2022, not a current vendor confirmation |
How to Look Up an Inmate at Pushmataha County Jail
No official online Pushmataha County jail roster was located, so the correct lookup route for this county jail is a fallback sequence rather than a roster click path. The jail phone line is the strongest local custody channel, Oklahoma VINE can help with custody-status notifications, and OSCN or ODCR can confirm filed court cases after the prosecutor and court clerk act. State prison, federal custody, and immigration custody are separate systems.
- Call 580-298-2475 and ask whether the person is currently held at Pushmataha County Jail, has been released, was transferred, or is temporarily housed in another county.
- Use the person's full legal name, date of birth if known, arrest date, arresting agency, and any case or warrant number to reduce false matches.
- Check Oklahoma VINE for custody status and release-notification enrollment. VINE is useful for status changes, but it does not replace the jail's booking record.
- Search OSCN or ODCR for Pushmataha County District Court filings after the arrest. Court records may show charges, bond entries, warrants, and hearing dates.
- Search the Oklahoma Department of Corrections offender lookup only if the person has been sentenced or transferred into ODOC custody. ODOC says county-jail wait time after sentencing can normally run 6 to 9 months before transport.
- Use the BOP inmate locator for federal BOP custody and the ICE detainee locator for immigration custody.
The lookup path matters because a person may be physically in the county jail while a court case is pending, physically in another county under a temporary housing arrangement, sentenced but still awaiting ODOC transport, or in a federal or immigration process that will not appear in a county jail roster. For a full record explanation, compare jail booking information with court filings before drawing conclusions from a single source.

Visiting Someone at Pushmataha County Jail
No official local visitation schedule, visitor rule sheet, video-visit schedule, dress code, minor-visitor rule, attorney-visit rule, parking map, or visitor entrance instruction was located for Pushmataha County Jail. Oklahoma jail standards require detention facilities to maintain written policies for visitation and correspondence, but those local policies were not published in the sources reviewed. Call the jail before making travel plans, especially because the March 2025 fire and explosion created temporary inmate movement and building-use questions.
| Visit type | Local schedule located? | Call-first requirements |
|---|---|---|
| In-person county jail visit | Not located in official sources | Call 580-298-2475 for current availability, ID, dress code, minor rules, arrival time, and entrance. |
| Video visit | Not located in official county sources | Ask whether video visitation exists, which vendor is current, and whether the person is housed in Antlers or elsewhere. |
| Attorney visit | Not located | Attorneys should call the jail or court directly for professional-visit procedures and scheduling. |
| Holiday or emergency schedule | Not located | Confirm any suspension, housing transfer, or building-access change before leaving for the jail. |
General jail-entry expectations should be treated as questions to verify, not as confirmed local rules: bring government photo identification, expect screening, do not bring weapons or contraband into a secure area, and ask whether phones, bags, paperwork, or keys must stay outside the visiting area. If the person is held at a partner jail, that facility's rules may control the visit instead of Pushmataha County's local procedures.
Mail, Phone, and Money at Pushmataha County Jail
Pushmataha County-specific mail, commissary, property-release, phone, and money-deposit instructions were not located on an official county page. Do not send money, books, packages, photos, or legal mail without confirming the current format. A dated 2022 telecom appendix listed NCIC for Pushmataha County Jail phone service, but that should be treated as historical vendor data, not proof of the current phone, video, or deposit system.
| Service | Pushmataha County Jail status | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Personal mail | No official local format located | Call before mailing; ask whether to use inmate name, booking number, housing location, and the 207 SW 3rd St address. |
| Legal mail | No local rule located | Ask how legal mail must be marked and whether an attorney or court return address is required. |
| Books and publications | No local rule located | Do not send books or packages without jail approval and vendor instructions. |
| Phone or video | NCIC listed in 2022 telecom data | Confirm the current provider, account setup, rates, and whether video visitation is available. |
| Money or commissary | No official county vendor page located | Ask whether deposits are accepted at the jail, online, by kiosk, by phone, or through a vendor, and ask about fees. |
| ODOC JPay | Applies to ODOC inmates, not county jail inmates | Use ODOC JPay only after confirming the person is in ODOC custody and has a seven-digit ODOC number. |
Bond and Release Questions at Pushmataha County Jail
No official Pushmataha County bond-posting page, payment-method list, bond-window hours, or local fee schedule was located. Bond questions should start with the jail, then move to the Pushmataha County District Court clerk if a filed case and court order exist. The District Attorney's Office prosecutes cases and does not post bond for defendants.
| Bond issue | What to ask | Best starting point |
|---|---|---|
| Custody and releasability | Confirm the person is in custody, whether a bond exists, and whether any hold blocks release. | Jail line, 580-298-2475 |
| Bond amount and type | Ask whether the bond is cash, surety, personal recognizance, property, no-bond, or tied to another warrant. | Jail first; court clerk after filing |
| Payment method | Confirm whether payment is accepted at the jail, court, or through a licensed Oklahoma bondsman. | Jail or court clerk |
| Court dates after release | Search OSCN or ODCR and confirm any hearing date with the court clerk. | Pushmataha County District Court |
If a bondsman is used, make sure the bond covers every active Pushmataha County case or hold. A person may appear releasable on one case but remain in custody because of a probation/parole hold, warrant from another jurisdiction, federal or ICE detainer, or court order. Failure to appear after release can lead to a bench warrant and a new booking.
Booking and Intake at Pushmataha County Jail
Pushmataha-specific booking instructions were not published on an official jail page, so the intake description should stay tied to statewide jail standards and the normal county-jail process. A local arrest may lead to transport to the Pushmataha County Jail or another authorized holding location, intake search, identification, property inventory, booking-record creation, fingerprints and photograph if collected, medical or mental-health screening, classification, phone access, and later court or bond processing.
Oklahoma's Jail Standards Act requires written policies for reception, orientation, release, correspondence, visitation, staff training, and other core operations. It also requires arrest and commitment papers to be verified, requires an inmate search during admission, requires property to be inventoried and securely stored, and requires adequate medical care for illness or injury from arrest through incarceration. Those statewide standards support the local intake explanation without inventing a Pushmataha-only manual.
Booking charges are not always the final prosecutor-filed charges. After the arrest, District Attorney Mark Matloff's District 17 office decides what state charges to file for Pushmataha County cases, and the court clerk maintains the district court record. If a court case is filed, OSCN or ODCR may later show a formal charge, bond event, hearing date, amended count, dismissal, warrant, or disposition that differs from the initial jail booking entry.
About Pushmataha County Jail
Pushmataha County Jail is a small rural county jail in Antlers, serving the county seat and surrounding communities. It is the only detention facility mapped for this project. The research did not locate a current local program page listing GED classes, substance-abuse programming, religious services, work release, tablet services, or medical provider details, so those should be confirmed directly with the jail before being relied on.
The main recent facility condition issue found in the research is the March 2025 fire and explosion at the sheriff's office and jail complex. KXII reported on March 20, 2025 that the sheriff's office and jail were affected, several employees had minor injuries or medical checks, and inmates were transferred temporarily to nearby Choctaw and Atoka county jails. A March 21 follow-up quoted Sheriff B.J. Hedgecock saying the jail appeared usable again soon after cleaning, while the sheriff's office interior needed major work. KTUL also reported that inmates were moved as a precaution and that no inmates were injured.
Because no later official reopening or long-term operations notice was located in the research file, the fire should be treated as a recent operational caveat rather than a reason to assume the jail is closed. The practical instruction is simple: call before visiting, mailing time-sensitive items, posting bond, requesting property, or relying on Antlers as the person's current physical location.
Note: Call 580-298-2475 before traveling to confirm custody location, visitation status, entrance access, and any temporary housing arrangement.
