How the Pontotoc County Jail Roster Works
The Pontotoc County Jail is a medium security facility that houses both male and female inmates. It sits in Ada, Oklahoma at 117 West 13th Street, within the same complex as the sheriff's main office. The jail opened in 1907 and has 180 beds. That is a large bed count for a county of this size, and the facility handles a steady flow of bookings from Ada and the towns that surround it.
The jail roster works on a simple system. When someone gets booked in, staff log their name, date of birth, charges, bond amount, and the agency that made the arrest. That data goes into the daily inmate list right away. The list then updates so the public can see it online at the county sheriff's page. The table shows each inmate's full name and booking date with a clear timestamp. If someone is released or transferred, they drop off the list.
You can also call the jail at 580-332-5111 or the sheriff's main line at 580-332-4169 for more detail. The fax number is 580-332-5970. For email, reach the sheriff at sheriff@pontotoccountysheriff.com. Written requests for copies of jail roster records go to the Pontotoc County Sheriff's Office, 117 West 13th St., Ada, OK 74820.
