Find Garfield County Detention Facility Releases

Garfield Facility Release Paths

Garfield County Detention Facility is the county's adult detention operation. Official pages also call it Garfield County Jail. Garfield County Criminal Justice Authority, known as GCCJA, has managed daily operations since January 1, 2021. Sheriff Cory Rink sits on the authority's board, but the county says the sheriff no longer directs daily jail work. That division determines where a release-record request belongs.

A person may leave this facility for the community after bond, time served, or a court order. The name can also disappear because the sheriff transported the person to the Oklahoma Department of Corrections, another jail, court, medical care, a mental-health facility, juvenile custody, or extradition. In each transfer, the local booking ends while custody continues. The GCCJA discharge or movement record should identify the type of exit and, when recorded, the destination.

Confirm Garfield Facility Releases

The official active list is useful only as a starting observation. It displays first, middle, and last name with booking date. It does not show a booking number, release date, release time, disposition, destination, charge, photograph, or projected release date. A matching name supports current listing at the time checked. Later absence suggests a custody change, but it does not prove release home.

1. Record the exact displayed name, booking date, source URL, and time of the active-list check.
2. When the name is absent, call GCCJA and ask for the actual date and time local custody ended.
3. Ask whether the disposition was community release, court release, or transfer to a named agency.
4. Match the related Garfield County court case by case number and other details.
5. If transferred, continue with the receiving agency rather than treating roster removal as freedom.

The complete county search and release-record workflow appears on the Garfield County released inmates search. It separates the local jail register from ODOC, BOP, ICE, and notification tools so that one system's result is not applied to the wrong custody class.

Garfield Facility Release Records

Direct operational booking and discharge requests to GCCJA. The operator has not published a dedicated open-records email, downloadable request form, local copy-fee table, promised turnaround, or exact retention period in the sources reviewed. Call the office to confirm its present submission route and any cost before sending identifying details. Ask for existing records rather than a custom explanation.

A useful request names the person, gives the known booking date or range, and asks for records sufficient to show the booking and actual custody-ending event. List the booking identifier, actual release date and time, release disposition, receiving agency if transferred, and booking photograph as requested fields. Ask for a cost estimate. If the operator uses another document name, this wording allows it to produce the jail register, booking sheet, or movement entry that contains those facts.

Who Keeps Garfield Release Records

Local responsibility is divided. GCCJA runs the detention facility and creates the operational booking and release record. The Garfield County Sheriff's Office performs transport duties and can be the right source for a sheriff-created transport record. The Garfield County Court Clerk preserves district-court filings, orders, and dispositions. Enid Police maintains its own arrest reports and police-created media. None of those offices should be asked to correct a fact created by another.

This structure explains why an arrest report, court order, and jail release entry may all concern one event but show different facts. The police report documents the arrest. The court docket records legal decisions. GCCJA supplies the local custody exit. ODOC or another recipient documents continued custody after transfer. When times or descriptions conflict, rank each source by responsibility for that specific field.

The official Garfield County sheriff page shows the governance change and transport role.

The county source supports routing daily jail-release questions to GCCJA while reserving sheriff-specific requests for records the sheriff created.

Garfield Release Record Details

Oklahoma's jail-register rules make the custody-ending entry central. 51 O.S. §24A.8(A)(8) calls for access, if maintained, to jail registers, blotter data, or booking information showing the name, commitment details, physical description, and date or manner of discharge or escape. Title 57 §48 separately requires the jail register and allows a computer record to be the original.

The active roster is not that full field set. A short web display and an agency's retained operational record serve different functions. Ask for the booking ID to tie the exit to the right episode. Request the actual release timestamp, reason or disposition, and destination. If bond information is kept, it can be requested as well. These details distinguish a release to the community from transport to state prison or another authority.

Disposition

The recorded manner in which the facility ended its custody.

Transfer

A handoff that ends one facility's custody while another begins.

Detainer

A hold or request that may prevent community release.

Discharge

The end of the particular custody or supervision obligation shown by that agency.

Garfield Court and Release Timing

The court record can show bond action, dismissal, judgment and sentence, an amended order, suspended sentence, time-served credit, commitment to ODOC, or revocation. Search OSCN or ODCR and narrow the case to Garfield County. Match more than the name. A case number, charge, filing dates, and the booking date help prevent a same-name mistake.

A court order and physical exit are not always simultaneous. Staff must receive and process the order, review other holds, and complete the release or transfer steps. One dismissed case does not erase custody based on another case or detainer. Treat the signed order as evidence of legal authority. Use the GCCJA entry for the time and manner of the actual facility exit.

Garfield Releases to ODOC

A transfer to the Oklahoma Department of Corrections is not a community release. Obtain the Garfield facility's transfer notation first. Then allow for intake processing and search OK Offender Lookup by DOC number when known. Otherwise, compare full identity, date of birth, offense, and court case. The ODOC search covers state custody and community supervision, not every person booked at the county facility.

ODOC records and the local records are consecutive parts of the same custody path. GCCJA documents when county custody ended. The Garfield court docket shows the sentence. ODOC documents the state commitment after intake. A missing state result can mean processing delay, a search mismatch, or that the person never entered ODOC. It does not convert an unexplained county roster absence into proof of release.

If parole later applies, the Pardon and Parole Board docket proves scheduling, while its paired result shows Board action. A favorable action can still precede Governor review, administrative processing, or the resolution of holds. Confirm actual release through the later ODOC status or discharge record.

Garfield Facility Release Logistics

No official source reviewed states a routine release hour, public exit door, family waiting place, property-return procedure, weekend rule, gate payment, or automatic ride program. Published administrative office hours must not be represented as the hours when releases occur. Call GCCJA for current instructions tied to a specific release.

The same restraint applies to capacity, annual bookings, average stay, and turnover. No official figures were verified for use here. Third-party jail directories were excluded because they often confuse counties, recycle unsourced estimates, or blur release records with unrelated data. Facility facts should remain traceable to the county, operator, court, or responsible state agency.

Direct confirmation is vital when a transfer destination is unclear or delayed.

Enid Public Transportation Authority publishes a local ride-request service, but its cited information does not promise jail pickup, free transportation, after-hours service, or arrangements made by facility staff. A family planning transportation should confirm the actual exit time and location with GCCJA before relying on any community travel option.
