Garvin County Jail Roster Online

The Garvin County Sheriff's Office posts a jail roster on their website every weekday morning at 9 AM. The roster is not updated on weekends or holidays, so Monday's posting will cover any bookings from the weekend. The file comes in two formats: Excel and PDF. The Excel version works well if you want to sort or search through the data on your computer. The PDF is easier to read if you just want a quick look at who is in jail.

You can find the current roster at the Garvin County Detention Center page on the sheriff's website. The page also lists contact information, visiting hours, and rules for sending mail to inmates.

The roster covers inmates from several jurisdictions. Pauls Valley is the largest city in the county and produces the most bookings. But arrests from Wynnewood, Stratford, Elmore City, and Paoli also show up on the same roster. All of these agencies book their arrests through the Garvin County Detention Center, so one roster covers the whole county.

The VINE victim notification system also covers Garvin County inmates.

VINE lets you search for inmates by name and register for alerts when their custody status changes. It covers all Oklahoma county jails and state prisons.

Note: The roster update at 9 AM reflects the jail population as of that morning, so same-day bookings after 9 AM will not show until the next update.
