Adair County Jail Overview
Adair County Jail is operated by the Adair County Sheriff's Office. The facility and sheriff's office are listed at 600 S Paul Mead Dr Rd, Stilwell, OK 74960, with phone number 918-696-2106. The current sheriff identified in the official research set is Sheriff Jason Ritchie. The jail is a county jail rather than a state prison, federal prison, or immigration detention center. It serves people booked after local arrests, people arrested on warrants, defendants waiting for bond or first appearance, and people serving short county sentences.
The most important limitation is that no official Adair County, Oklahoma public online jail roster was located. That means the jail phone and in-person sheriff contact are the local source for current custody, booking, bond, release, visitation, and property questions. The reviewed sources also did not locate a sheriff-hosted jail page with current visitation rules, mail formatting, video visitation, a phone vendor, or a published bond payment process. Those details should be confirmed directly before relying on any third-party listing.
The Oklahoma Association of Chiefs of Police directory listing is one of the matching source screenshots for the sheriff's office address and phone.
Use that directory as a contact confirmation source, not as a live inmate roster. The directory identifies the office, while custody status still has to be checked through the jail or another appropriate locator.
Adair County Jail Capacity and Population
The best sourced capacity figure in the research is from the Vera Institute county incarceration trend data, derived from Bureau of Justice Statistics jail data. The 2019 Adair County row lists a rated capacity of 95 beds. A current official county capacity page was not located, so the 95-bed number should be described as a 2019 rated capacity rather than a live operating capacity.
Vera's 2019 data reports 86 people in the Adair County jail population, including 49 pretrial detainees and 37 sentenced people. It also reports 12 people held from another jail and zero federal, Bureau of Prisons, ICE, and U.S. Marshals holds in the 2019 categories. The 2023 Vera figure for the best available jail population is 72.5, with a rate of 597.3 per 100,000 residents age 15 to 64. Those figures describe a county trend, not a real-time roster count.
How to Look Up an Inmate at Adair County Jail
There is no confirmed official Adair County online roster to open for current county jail inmates. Start with the jail at 918-696-2106 and ask whether the person is currently in custody, whether the person has been released, whether bond has been set, and whether the jail can provide booking date, booking number, arresting agency, or charge information. If the arrest came from Stilwell Police Department, Westville Police Department, or Watts Police Department, the municipal agency can help with arrest-report context, but current detention should still be checked through the county jail unless the person was cited and released.
- Call Adair County Jail at 918-696-2106 for the current local custody check.
- Use the person's full name, date of birth if known, arrest date, and arresting agency to reduce mistaken matches.
- Check Oklahoma VINELink or OK VINE when custody notification is needed.
- Search ODOC Offender Lookup if the person has been sentenced to Oklahoma Department of Corrections custody.
- Use the Federal BOP locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator only for federal or immigration custody.
The Oklahoma Department of Corrections offender lookup is a separate state-prison tool for sentenced prisoners, not a substitute for the Adair County Jail phone line.
Use ODOC only after the county jail or court record indicates the person has moved into state custody, because ODOC records do not list routine local pretrial bookings.
Adair County Jail Address and Contact
The jail and sheriff's office contact point is the practical official route for current custody questions in Adair County. The courthouse at 220 West Division in Stilwell is important for court clerk, district attorney, fines, and case-file questions, but it is not the same location as the jail. Visitors and people asking about an inmate should use the Paul Mead Drive address unless the court or jail directs them elsewhere.

Visiting Someone at Adair County Jail
No Adair County Jail-specific visitation schedule, ID rule, dress code, child-visitor rule, attorney-visit rule, or video visitation vendor was located in the official sources reviewed. Call 918-696-2106 before traveling. Ask whether the person is eligible for visits, whether visits are in person or video, what identification is required, what property is barred at entry, and whether the visit must be scheduled.
| Day | Hours | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Monday | Not published | Call jail |
| Wednesday | Not published | Call jail |
| Friday | Not published | Call jail |
| Saturday | Not published | Call jail |
| Sunday | Not published | Call jail |
State detention standards provide general guardrails for Oklahoma city and county detention facilities, but they do not publish Adair County's local visitor schedule. Avoid importing rules from neighboring counties or from ODOC prisons, because county jail visitation is local and can change quickly.
Mail, Phone, and Money at Adair County Jail
Local mail format, phone vendor, video service, and property-release rules were not located on an official Adair sheriff jail page. Before sending letters, money, books, photos, medications, or property, call the jail and confirm the inmate name format, booking number requirement, acceptable address line, package restrictions, and current vendor rules. For legal mail or attorney visits, call the jail or the court before sending materials.

Verify directly before paying through any vendor page, because the research confirms a facility selection page but does not confirm which deposit or order services are active for this jail.
| Service | Provider / Detail |

| Mail Address | Specific inmate mail format not located. Confirm with the jail. |
| Phone / Video | No local vendor found in the reviewed sources. |

Booking and Intake at Adair County Jail
Adair-specific intake steps are not published online, so the reliable way to describe booking is as a general Oklahoma county-jail process. A person arrested by the sheriff, Stilwell police, Westville police, Watts police, tribal law enforcement, federal officers, or another agency may be transported to the Adair County Jail if not released by citation. Intake commonly includes identity verification, warrant checks, property inventory, search and safety screening, fingerprints, booking photo where required, booking charges, hold or bond entries, medical or mental-health screening, classification, and a release or housing decision.
Booking charges are not the same as formal court charges. District 27 District Attorney Jack Thorp's office reviews criminal filings for Adair County, and the Adair County Court Clerk maintains district court records at 220 W Division in Stilwell. Search OSCN or ODCR and contact the court clerk for filed charges, court dates, warrants, bond orders, and copy questions.
The Oklahoma VINELink portal is a useful notification channel when a custody status may change after booking.
VINELink is not an Adair sheriff roster, but it can support notification needs when a person wants custody or case-status alerts through Oklahoma VINE.
About Adair County Jail
The researched materials did not locate an official construction date, accreditation status, current inspection PDF, local jail programming page, work-release page, GED program page, grievance procedure, or medical request instructions for Adair County Jail. That absence should be preserved as a research gap. The relevant statewide framework is Oklahoma's city and county detention standards, including annual inspection responsibilities through the Oklahoma State Department of Health, but those statewide rules are not the same as a published Adair County operating manual.
No ODOC prison, Bureau of Prisons institution, ICE detention center, or confirmed U.S. Marshals contract jail was identified inside Adair County. Once a defendant is sentenced to state prison, search Oklahoma Department of Corrections rather than the county jail. For federal custody, use BOP, U.S. Marshals, or federal court channels. For immigration custody, use ICE. For county booking records, mugshots, arrest logs, or incident records that are not online, start with the sheriff's office and cite the Oklahoma Open Records Act when making a request.
Note: Confirm custody, visitation, mail, and deposit rules with Adair County Jail before traveling or sending money.
