Lawton Correctional Facility Overview
Lawton Correctional and Rehabilitation Facility is an Oklahoma Department of Corrections state prison at 8607 SE Flower Mound Road, Lawton, OK 73501. The facility map lists the phone as 580-351-2778 and describes the prison as medium security for sentenced male Oklahoma DOC inmates. It is physically located in Comanche County, but the inmates held there are not limited to people arrested in Comanche County.
The prison must be separated from county detention in search instructions. Comanche County Detention Center holds pretrial detainees, county-sentenced inmates, municipal transfers, and people waiting for bond or first appearance. Lawton Correctional and Rehabilitation Facility holds sentenced state prisoners after court conviction, sentencing, DOC reception, and assignment. Once a person moves to ODOC custody, the county roster is no longer the main source.
Recent research notes a major operational change: Oklahoma took over the Lawton prison from private-contract operation in 2024. Current content should describe the facility through ODOC and its state prison role, while recognizing that older materials may still refer to prior private operation by The GEO Group.
Lawton Correctional Capacity
ODOC and state facility materials identify Lawton Correctional and Rehabilitation Facility as a 2,526-bed prison. That number is a prison capacity figure, not a Comanche County jail capacity figure. The research did not locate a current live population dashboard for the facility that could be used as a daily count.
The size of the Lawton prison is one reason Comanche County inmate searches can be confusing. A person may be in Lawton but not be in the county jail. The custody system, not just the city name, decides which record tool to use.
Lawton Correctional Offender Search
Use OK Offender Search for Lawton Correctional and Rehabilitation Facility. The ODOC portal begins with a disclaimer that the information is abbreviated and that ODOC assumes no legal liability or responsibility for accuracy or completeness. That warning matters because a prison profile is not the full criminal case file, sentencing transcript, or time-calculation record.
The manifest includes a successful screenshot of OK Offender Search, the proper search system for state prisoners housed at Lawton Correctional and Rehabilitation Facility.
The ODOC locator should be used after sentencing and state transfer, while county current-inmate records remain the source for people still in Comanche County jail custody.
- Open OK Offender Search and accept the ODOC disclaimer.
- Search by name or DOC number if known.
- Confirm the facility assignment shows Lawton Correctional and Rehabilitation Facility or another ODOC prison.
- Use Oklahoma court records for the full court case, amended charges, judgment, and sentence documents.
If the person was recently arrested and has not been sentenced to prison, check the Comanche County Detention Center current-inmate path instead. If the person is in federal or immigration custody, use BOP, the U.S. Marshals Western District of Oklahoma, or ICE channels.
Lawton Correctional Contact
Use the facility contact for prison-specific visiting, mail, phone, property, and institutional procedure questions. Use ODOC offender information for state custody questions and Oklahoma court portals for district court filings. The Comanche County Sheriff's Office is not the operating agency for this state prison.

Lawton Correctional Visits
Lawton Correctional and Rehabilitation Facility follows ODOC visitation rules. That means prison visits require approval, identification, scheduling, dress and conduct compliance, and facility-specific instructions. The county jail's Prodigy web visitation process is not the source for visits at this state prison.
| Day | Hours | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Monday | Not published in located facility source | ODOC approved visitation, confirm with facility |
| Wednesday | Not published in located facility source | ODOC approved visitation, confirm with facility |
| Friday | Not published in located facility source | ODOC approved visitation, confirm with facility |
| Saturday | Not published in located facility source | ODOC approved visitation, confirm with facility |
| Sunday | Not published in located facility source | ODOC approved visitation, confirm with facility |
Medium-security prison visitation is more formal than county jail video visitation. Confirm the approved visitor list, the inmate's current facility, any lockdown or schedule change, and the allowed items before travel.
Lawton Correctional Mail Money
Mail, phones, and money at Lawton Correctional and Rehabilitation Facility follow ODOC family-and-friends, offender-banking, and facility rules. Do not use county jail canteen forms or county commissary documents for a state prisoner. A state prison inmate needs the correct name, DOC number, facility, and approved payment or mailing channel.
| Service | Provider or Detail |
|---|---|
| Mail Address | Use ODOC facility instructions and include DOC identifying information. |
| Phone / Communication | Follow ODOC family-and-friends communication rules. |
| Money Deposit | Use ODOC offender banking instructions, not county jail commissary. |
| Notifications | Oklahoma VINELink may provide custody notifications where available. |
Before sending funds or mail, verify that the person remains at Lawton Correctional and Rehabilitation Facility. Prison transfers, classification changes, court returns, and medical or security moves can change the correct address or deposit path.
Lawton Correctional Admission
Lawton Correctional and Rehabilitation Facility does not handle new street arrests. Admission follows the state prison process. A person is arrested, booked into a jail, charged through court, sentenced, received by ODOC, classified, and then assigned to a facility. The county jail may be the first visible record, but the prison record begins after state custody starts.
For a Comanche County arrest that later becomes a prison sentence, the search path changes over time. Early questions go to the county jail roster and the detention center phone. Formal charges and dispositions go to OSCN or ODCR. State custody and facility placement go to OK Offender Search. That chain prevents a county roster search from being used after the person has moved into a state prison.
- Reception
- The DOC intake stage after sentencing, before final facility placement.
- Facility assignment
- ODOC's placement of an inmate at a prison or corrections center.
- Sentence record
- The court and DOC information that explains conviction, term, credits, and release dates.
About Lawton Correctional Facility
Lawton Correctional and Rehabilitation Facility is a major state prison presence in Lawton. Research notes that Oklahoma moved to take over or directly operate the prison after private-contract operation. For current inmate-search content, the key practical point is that the facility should be treated as ODOC, not as a county jail or a city jail.
Families and record searchers should separate facility location from custody authority. The prison is in Comanche County, but it houses sentenced male Oklahoma DOC inmates from across the state. County jail booking photos, county bond schedule documents, and county Prodigy visitation do not control this prison. ODOC locator, visitation, mail, money, and facility rules control.
Note: Confirm ODOC facility assignment and visitation status before mailing funds, sending letters, or traveling.
