Haskell County Inmate Population Records
Haskell County sits in eastern Oklahoma with Stigler as the county seat. The jail here processes bookings from Stigler, McCurtain, Kinta, and the surrounding area. If you need to find someone in the Haskell County jail or check on a past booking, the Sheriff's Office handles those requests. You can also use online court records and state databases to track inmate population data. This page covers the ways to search for Haskell County inmates, what records are available to the public, and how to request copies of booking information.
Haskell County Inmate Overview
Haskell County Jail Details
The Haskell County jail is in Stigler. The Sheriff's Office runs the facility and handles all booking operations. Arrests from across the county come here for processing. Towns like McCurtain and Kinta fall under Haskell County jurisdiction, and any arrests in those areas lead to bookings at the same jail. The daily inmate count varies, but the facility is relatively small compared to jails in more urban parts of the state.
To check on someone in the Haskell County jail, call the Sheriff's Office. They can confirm if a person is being held, tell you the charges, and share the bond amount. Walk-in requests also work during business hours at the courthouse in Stigler. The jail does not maintain a public online roster, so direct contact with the Sheriff's Office is the main way to get real-time data on the Haskell County inmate population.
The facility holds pretrial inmates and those serving sentences of up to one year. Anyone who gets a longer sentence is transferred to the Oklahoma Department of Corrections. The jail also handles transport to the Haskell County District Court for all hearings and court dates.
Note: Haskell County may house inmates from neighboring counties when those facilities are at capacity, which can affect the daily population count.
Records Access in Haskell County
Oklahoma's Open Records Act gives the public a right to view jail records. Title 51 Section 24A.8 requires the Haskell County Sheriff to maintain a jail register that is open for inspection. Each entry includes the person's name, booking date, charges, and bond information. You can see this register at the Sheriff's Office without explaining why you want the records.
Copies of Haskell County inmate records cost up to 25 cents per page under Title 51 Section 24A.5. Bring the person's full name. A date of birth or arrest date will help the staff pull the right record. The register covers all bookings, both current and historical. If someone was in the Haskell County jail a year ago, that record is still on file and you can request it.

Haskell County Booking Procedures
When a person is arrested in Haskell County, they are brought to the jail in Stigler for booking. The staff photograph the person, take fingerprints, and record all personal information. Fingerprints go to the state criminal history database. Charges are logged and bond is determined. Some charges follow a set bond schedule. Others need a judge to set the amount at a hearing.
After booking, the person either stays in the Haskell County jail or posts bond and gets out. People held on serious felony charges may wait weeks or months for their trial date. Misdemeanor inmates serve their sentence at the county jail. Those with sentences over one year are moved to the Oklahoma Department of Corrections. All bookings become part of the permanent Haskell County inmate population records, accessible through open records requests.
Note: Inmates at the Haskell County jail who need medical care beyond what the facility provides are transferred to an outside facility under guard.
