Comanche County Jail Overview
Comanche County's detention page identifies Comanche County Detention Center as the county detention facility in downtown Lawton. The jail is tied to the sheriff and county government complex, but it has its own public phone line for detention questions. The facility holds adult pretrial detainees, county-sentenced misdemeanor inmates, people arrested on warrants, municipal transfers, people waiting for bond or first court settings, and people held for transfer to another agency.
The county describes the detention center as a secure, round-the-clock facility. Its stated mission is safety for staff, inmates, and the public while preserving legal rights and human dignity. That matters for searches because the Comanche County jail record is a live custody record, not a full court history. A booking charge on the roster can later change when the District Attorney files charges in district court.
The county detention page lists practical jail services in separate links: Current Inmates, Inmate Mail, Inmate Property, Commissary Information, Canteen Order Form, Bond Schedule, and Prodigy Web Visitation. Those links are the best source for facility-specific rules because the county did not publish one long jail handbook in the located source.
The manifest includes a successful image capture of the Comanche County Detention Center page, which shows the county's own detention center source rather than a third-party directory.
The county page is the starting point because it links the official current-inmate portal and the jail service documents used for mail, money, bond, property, and visitation.
Comanche County Jail Capacity
The county page states a 284-bed capacity for Comanche County Detention Center. The research did not locate an official live population dashboard, average daily population table, annual booking count, or demographic breakdown for the county jail. Recent KSWO reporting in 2024 discussed crowding and county action to lease outside beds, but that reporting should be read as dated news context, not as the jail's official daily count.
Capacity should not be blended with the two state DOC facilities in Lawton. Lawton Correctional and Rehabilitation Facility is a much larger state prison, and Lawton Community Corrections Center is a DOC facility. Those populations are state sentenced-inmate populations, not the Comanche County jail population.
Comanche County Inmate Lookup
Current Comanche County Detention Center custody is searched through the county detention page's Bluhorse Current Inmates portal. The county page is the official local path to that vendor-hosted list. The research could not fully inspect every live Bluhorse field in text form, so exact field names should be confirmed on the live profile instead of assumed.
- Open the Comanche County Detention Center page and choose Current Inmates, or open the Bluhorse portal with agency ID CCDC.
- Search or browse the current-inmate interface using the controls available on the live page.
- Confirm that the listed facility is Comanche County Detention Center and that the person is still in current custody.
- If a recent arrest is missing, call 580-250-1902 because booking, release, transfer, spelling, juvenile status, or another hold can affect the result.
Use the county roster for jail custody only. Court charges and hearing dates belong in OSCN or ODCR. State prison transfers belong in OK Offender Search. Federal sentences use BOP, and immigration detention uses ICE's locator.
Comanche County Jail Contact
Call the detention center when the online current-inmate listing does not answer a custody, bond, visitation, mail, or property question. Use the sheriff's main office for sheriff administrative issues, civil process, records routing, or law-enforcement questions that are not specific to the jail housing desk.

Comanche County Jail Visits
Comanche County points visitors to Prodigy Web Visitation. The county-linked Prodigy instruction sheet, not the HTML detention page, is the controlling path for registration, visit setup, schedule details, and any video visit fees. Because the located county page did not publish a plain text day-by-day schedule, visit days and times should be confirmed through the county-linked Prodigy instructions or by calling the detention center before travel.
The manifest includes a successful capture of Prodigy, the visitation vendor the county links for web visits.
That source supports the county jail's video-visitation channel, but the specific facility rules still need to be checked through the county instructions.
| Day | Hours | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Monday | Not published in inspected HTML | Prodigy video visitation, confirm in county-linked instructions |
| Wednesday | Not published in inspected HTML | Prodigy video visitation, confirm in county-linked instructions |
| Friday | Not published in inspected HTML | Prodigy video visitation, confirm in county-linked instructions |
| Saturday | Not published in inspected HTML | Prodigy video visitation, confirm in county-linked instructions |
| Sunday | Not published in inspected HTML | Prodigy video visitation, confirm in county-linked instructions |
Bring government identification for any in-person jail business. Do not bring weapons, drugs, alcohol, recording devices, or unneeded personal property into a jail lobby. Attorney visits are separate from public and family visits, and attorneys should contact the detention center directly for professional-visit procedure.
Comanche County Mail Money
Comanche County publishes separate jail documents for mail, property, commissary information, a canteen order form, and a bond schedule. That split is important. Mail rules are not property rules, property release is not commissary, and a bond schedule does not guarantee release when a judge order, warrant, or outside hold applies.
| Service | Provider or Detail |
|---|---|
| Use the county Inmate Mail PDF for address format and content limits. | |
| Property | Use the county Inmate Property PDF before bringing or seeking release of property. |
| Phone / Video | County source links Prodigy Web Visitation for video visits. |
| Money / Commissary | Use the county Commissary Information PDF and Canteen Order Form. |
| Bond | Use the Bond Schedule PDF, then verify final bond and holds with the jail. |
The sheriff website warns about scams in which callers pretend to be from the sheriff's office and demand money by phone, PayPal, or gift cards. Bond and money instructions should be verified with the detention center or court before any payment is made.
Comanche County Jail Booking
Booking begins when a sheriff deputy, Lawton Police officer, tribal or federal officer, or other Oklahoma law-enforcement officer brings a person into county custody. Jail staff confirm identity, check warrants and holds, inventory property, conduct search procedures, take booking photographs and fingerprints when required, screen for medical or mental-health concerns, and create the jail booking record.
A booking record is not the same as the court case. The jail may list an arrest charge or hold based on officer paperwork, a warrant, or a court order. The District Attorney decides what formal charges are filed, and those court records are checked through OSCN or ODCR after filing. The Comanche County jail inmate records page covers the broader roster path when the current-inmate portal does not answer a custody question.
- Detainer
- A request by another agency to hold or notify before release.
- No-bond hold
- A custody status that blocks normal release until a court or agency clears it.
- Classification
- A jail assessment used for housing, safety, and custody level.
About Comanche County Detention
The detention center sits in Lawton's downtown government area near the courthouse and sheriff's office. That close location can help families handle custody, court, and sheriff office questions in the same part of town, but the offices are still separate. Jail staff handle custody, mail, property, commissary, visitation, and bond-related jail questions. The Court Clerk handles public court case records. The District Attorney handles prosecution decisions.
Recent local reporting in 2024 described crowding and county efforts to use outside jail beds. The official capacity figure remains the county's 284-bed statement. Because no live population dashboard was located, the most accurate public answer for daily custody is the current-inmate roster plus a call to the detention center when the roster is unclear.
Note: Confirm custody, bond status, and visitation rules with the detention center before driving to the jail.
