Clara Waters Inmate Facility Overview
Clara Waters Community Corrections Center is operated by the Oklahoma Department of Corrections. It is a state-prison/community-corrections facility, not a county jail. That distinction controls almost every public access step. A current Oklahoma County jail detainee should be searched through OCDC JailTracker, but a sentenced state inmate assigned to Clara Waters should be searched through the statewide ODOC offender lookup.
The facility serves sentenced ODOC inmates assigned to community corrections and reentry programming. Community corrections is a lower custody setting than a secure penitentiary, but it is still state custody under ODOC rules. The facility is identified in Oklahoma County research because it sits in Oklahoma City and can receive people after a county court sentence or after movement within the Oklahoma prison system.
OCDC's statistics page uses J&S for Judgment and Sentence, meaning county jail residents who have received their sentence and are waiting for transport to DOC. During that transition, a person may still appear in the Oklahoma County Detention Center roster while waiting for state movement. After the transfer posts to ODOC custody, the Clara Waters Community Corrections Center lookup should be checked through ODOC.
Clara Waters Inmate Capacity
The research source for Clara Waters capacity is an ODOC daily count-sheet example dated January 6, 2025. That example listed Clara Waters Community Corrections Center with 304 design capacity, 304 operational capacity, and a total count of 287. The number is a daily report example, not a promise that the same count applies on a later day. Facility counts change as ODOC transfers, releases, sanctions, and program movements occur.
| Measure | Figure | Source Date |
|---|---|---|
| Design capacity | 304 | ODOC daily count-sheet example, January 6, 2025 |
| Operational capacity | 304 | ODOC daily count-sheet example, January 6, 2025 |
| Total count | 287 | ODOC daily count-sheet example, January 6, 2025 |
Capacity is not the same as a public roster. Capacity describes how many beds or placements are available under the reported count method. The ODOC offender lookup is still the channel for checking whether a named person is assigned to Clara Waters Community Corrections Center.
Clara Waters ODOC Inmate Lookup
Use the Oklahoma Department of Corrections offender lookup for Clara Waters Community Corrections Center. The county roster is not the correct source for sentenced state custody after a person transfers out of OCDC. ODOC's lookup covers sentenced prisoners in Oklahoma DOC custody, people who leave OCDC after judgment and sentence, fugitives listed by ODOC, state custody status, facility placement, and abbreviated offense or sentence information.
ODOC warns that offender data is abbreviated and not an exact explanation of offense, sentence details, or time to be served. The lookup also says ODOC assumes no legal liability or responsibility for accuracy or completeness. That disclaimer does not make the search useless. It means a record should be verified with ODOC when exact sentence documents, release calculations, or certified proof is needed.
- Open the ODOC offender lookup rather than the Oklahoma County jail roster.
- Search by the person's name or other ODOC fields shown by the locator.
- Review the facility or location field for Clara Waters Community Corrections Center.
- Read offense and sentence data as abbreviated public information, not a full court file.
- Use VINE or ODOC contact channels when notification or official confirmation is needed.
| Lookup Item | What It Means | Use |
|---|---|---|
| Search | Main ODOC offender search | Use for sentenced Oklahoma prisoners. |
| Fugitives | Separate ODOC fugitive path | Use only when fugitive status is relevant. |
| Disclaimer | Accuracy and completeness warning | Read before relying on offense or sentence data. |
| VINELink link | Notification supplement | Use for custody or case notification registration. |

The locator is the right first search for Clara Waters because it follows state custody rather than county booking status.
Clara Waters Address and Contact
Clara Waters Community Corrections Center should be contacted for facility-specific questions about visits, local rules, and public information that ODOC makes available through facility channels. For statewide offender records, sentence status, or policy documents, ODOC headquarters and ODOC public pages may be the better starting point. The facility phone listed in the research is the local Clara Waters number.

Operator: Oklahoma Department of Corrections
The ODOC homepage lists headquarters at 4345 North Lincoln Blvd., Oklahoma City, OK 73105, phone 405-425-2500, and mailing address PO Box 11400, Oklahoma City, OK 73136-0400. Those statewide contacts should not replace the facility phone for day-of-visit or facility-specific questions, but they matter when the issue is an ODOC policy, records, or statewide offender information question.
Clara Waters Visit Rules
ODOC visitation rules apply at Clara Waters Community Corrections Center. The ODOC visitation page requires visitor applications, background checks for people 18 and older, scheduling, and no walk-ins. Community-corrections inmates may visit no more than eight hours per week.

Because Clara Waters follows ODOC rules, the county jail's local roster and OCDC visit assumptions should not be used for this facility.
Clara Waters Mail and Money
Mail, phone, and money rules for Clara Waters Community Corrections Center should be taken from ODOC offender information and approved vendor pages, not from Oklahoma County Detention Center rules. The OCDC NCIC mail-scanning address in Longview, Texas is a county jail rule and should not be applied to a state community corrections facility. ODOC controls the approved way to write, call, visit, or send funds to people in state custody.
| Service | Correct Source | Important Limit |
|---|---|---|
| ODOC offender information and facility rules | Do not use the OCDC scanning address. | |
| Phone | ODOC approved communications vendors | Confirm current provider before funding an account. |
| Money deposit | ODOC approved vendors | Research notes JPay/Securus details may be available, but fees should be verified. |
| Video services | ODOC and vendor facility details | Availability can vary by facility and status. |
The research notes that JPay/Securus facility details indicate JPay kiosk or video services can be available for Clara Waters, but it also directs build copy to verify current ODOC vendor details before listing fees. For that reason, no deposit fee or video rate is stated here. Use ODOC and the facility phone for current approved vendors.
Clara Waters Transfer Intake
Clara Waters Community Corrections Center does not operate like a street-arrest booking jail. Admission normally follows ODOC placement, transfer, or assignment after state sentencing or state custody movement. A person sentenced in Oklahoma County may first appear in OCDC as J&S while waiting for DOC transport, then appear in the ODOC lookup after state custody is processed. During this handoff, both the county jail roster and ODOC locator may need to be checked.
Community corrections also changes the meaning of custody terms. A program assignment is not the same as release from state custody. The person may have movement, work, program, reporting, or facility restrictions that do not appear in a short public locator result. ODOC's disclaimer is especially important when the record is being used to understand sentence timing, program status, or release eligibility.

- Community corrections
- A state custody setting tied to reentry and structured programming.

Clara Waters Records Boundaries
Clara Waters Community Corrections Center is part of the Oklahoma County custody landscape, but it is not part of the Oklahoma County jail roster. JailTracker is used for OCDC current county custody. ODOC offender lookup is used for sentenced state custody. BOP inmate locator is used for federal custody. ICE ODLS is used for immigration custody. The Oklahoma County Detention Center page is the correct local jail path when a person has not yet transferred to ODOC.
Oklahoma VINE can supplement ODOC lookup because ODOC pages include VINELink access. VINE is a notification system, not a complete record archive. It can help with custody and case alerts, but it should be paired with ODOC records when exact sentence or facility data is needed. For court filings from the Oklahoma County case that led to the sentence, OSCN, ODCR, and the Oklahoma County Court Clerk remain the court-record sources.
Note: Confirm ODOC custody status and visit approval before travel because community corrections placement can change by transfer or release.
