Harmon County Inmate Population Overview
The Harmon County inmate population is centered on one verified local detention facility, the Harmon County Jail in Hollis. The jail is run by the Harmon County Sheriff's Office and holds people in county custody after arrest, warrant service, local court action, or a short local sentence. Current state prison, federal prison, and immigration detention are not counted as local jail custody just because the case or arrest began in Harmon County. Once a person is sentenced to Oklahoma state prison, the Oklahoma Department of Corrections becomes the right search channel.
The most current local count found in the research was the sheriff roster and its public API. That roster returned 17 current booking records during inspection on June 25, 2026. That figure is a point-in-time roster count, not an average daily population, annual booking total, or rated jail capacity. No official Harmon County annual jail report, capacity report, length-of-stay report, or housing-unit census was located, so those items should not be filled in from guesswork. Small rural counties also need careful reading because one transport, release, or warrant roundup can make the public count move sharply.
Harmon County Inmate Population Statistics
The local statistics are strongest for current roster custody and weaker for long-term jail management data. The official Harmon County Jail inmate search is the local source for current in-custody records. It shows booked dates, charges, roster cards, profile links, and booking photos when present. For broader population context, the research file used FRED, Census Reporter, the Bureau of Justice Statistics, Vera, and Prison Policy Initiative materials. Those sources help explain the county setting, but they do not replace a local jail annual report.
The table below separates current official local data from historical or contextual data. That distinction matters. A live roster count is useful for checking custody now, but it should not be described as the jail's normal daily average. A historical correctional locator entry is useful context, but it should not be described as current capacity.
| Measure | Figure | Source and date |
|---|---|---|
| Current in-custody roster count | 17 booking records | Harmon County Sheriff roster API, inspected June 25, 2026 |
| Rated bed capacity | Not located | Sheriff, OSDH, and ODOC pages reviewed |
| Average daily population | Not located | No local annual report found |
| Historical local correctional count | 15 local prisoners | Prison Policy Initiative Census 2020 locator, survey date December 31, 2013 |
| Historical state facility count | 98 state prisoners | PPI locator for Hollis Community Work Center, survey date June 30, 2012; current operation not confirmed |
| County resident population | 2.327 thousand | FRED resident population series for 2025 |
| ACS population estimate | 2,406 | FRED/Census ACS 2024 five-year estimate |
The FRED resident population chart for Harmon County provides useful county-size context for interpreting the jail count.
Because Harmon County has a small resident base, a roster with only a few new bookings can look large when converted to a rate per resident.
Harmon County Inmate Population Trends
No official multi-year Harmon County jail population trend table was located. The available local trend material is therefore indirect: one current roster count, one old local correctional locator count, and county resident population estimates. That is still useful if it is labeled plainly. The 2026 roster count shows who was in current custody on the inspection date. The 2013 PPI local-facility figure shows a historical jail point from a correctional-facility locator. FRED and ACS data show the county population base around which jail demand, law-enforcement coverage, transport, and court calendars operate.
Resident population decline or growth is not the same thing as jail population decline or growth. Jail counts are shaped by arrests, bond decisions, court schedules, probation holds, warrants, releases, and state transfers. In a county this small, a long-running hold or several same-week arrests can change the public roster more than a broad policy trend would in a larger county.
| Year | County resident population | Source note |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2.327 thousand | FRED OKHARM7POP |
| 2024 | 2.335 thousand | FRED OKHARM7POP |
| 2023 | 2.406 thousand | FRED OKHARM7POP |
| 2022 | 2.425 thousand | FRED OKHARM7POP |
| 2021 | 2.400 thousand | FRED OKHARM7POP |
Harmon County Jail Population Snapshot
The roster demographic snapshot from June 25, 2026 came from 17 current booking records returned by the official sheriff API. All 17 records returned a male sex code. Race codes in that current set were 11 W, 4 B, 1 U, plus one record where Hispanic ethnicity appeared separately while the API race field used W. Many city fields listed Hollis, while others listed Oklahoma City, Boswell, Lubbock, Dodson, or no city. These details describe one current roster set only. They are not a full annual demographic report.
- Custody stage: The roster covers people held in county jail custody, not sentenced state prisoners after ODOC transfer.
- Booking span: Active bookings inspected ranged from August 30, 2025 to June 20, 2026.
- Charge text: Visible charge labels included burglary, assault, larceny, failure to appear, DUI, arson, kidnapping, murder, and protective-order violations.
- Conviction status: Booking charges are not the same as filed court charges or convictions.
Harmon County Jail Capacity Data
The research did not locate an official Harmon County Jail rated-capacity figure, bed-count posting, annual average daily population, or overcrowding report. That gap should stay visible. The only current official count is the roster count, and the only historical facility count found was the PPI/Census locator's 15 local prisoners for the Harmon County Jail as of December 31, 2013. No current Oklahoma Department of Corrections page confirmed an active Hollis state facility, so the historical Hollis Community Work Center entry should not be turned into a current facility page or current state-prison count.
Oklahoma jail oversight still applies. The Oklahoma State Department of Health jails page explains that city and county detention facilities are subject to state jail standards and annual inspection authority.
Those standards cover topics such as admission and release, security, sanitation, diet, clothing, medical care, supervision, emergency exits, and inmate education of facility rules.
Laws for Harmon County Jail Records
Oklahoma public-record law is the access framework for many Harmon County inmate population records. The sheriff roster is the fastest source for current custody, but records not shown online may require a request to the sheriff's records division. The records page says report and video redactions are billed at $38.00 per hour in 15-minute increments, and it tells requesters not to send money before the office gives the exact fee amount.
Key Oklahoma access rules:
51 O.S. Section 24A.5 is the general Open Records Act rule for inspection and copying unless a law makes a record confidential.
51 O.S. Section 24A.8 covers law-enforcement records, including arrestee descriptions and facts about an arrest when kept by the agency.
51 O.S. Section 24A.18 is important when a requester asks for a custom roster export, because an office is not required to create a record it does not keep.
74 O.S. Section 192 supports state standards for city and county detention facility operations.
Harmon County State Prison Transfers
People sentenced to Oklahoma prison are no longer searched as current county-jail inmates after transfer. They move into the state corrections system, where the Oklahoma Department of Corrections offender lookup is the correct public locator. ODOC says its lookup information is abbreviated and not a full explanation of sentence details, time to serve, or legal status. That warning is important when a Harmon County case moves from booking to conviction, sentence, reception, supervision, or parole review.
Probation and parole information also differs from jail custody. ODOC's probation and parole office-location material lists the Altus office as covering Jackson, Greer, and Harmon, while also listing Harmon in an inactive-county section. That conflict means supervision-location details should be verified with ODOC before relying on them.
Search Harmon County Inmate Population Records
The official roster is the first place to search the Harmon County inmate population for current jail custody. The Harmon County Jail inmate search is free, public, and does not require a login. It sorts people by booked date and gives a single public name filter. The page also links to VINE when a person may have been released, transferred, or not found on the current roster.
Use the county roster for current county jail custody. Use OSCN or ODCR when the question is about filed charges or court case status. Use ODOC for state-sentenced custody, BOP for sentenced federal custody, USMS contacts for federal pretrial or transport questions, and ICE's locator for immigration custody. One search tool does not cover all of those systems.
- Open the sheriff roster and review the current in-custody cards.
- Enter all or part of the person's name in the Search by Name field.
- Open the matching card to view the profile and confirm identity by name, sex, race, age, city when shown, inmate ID, and booked date.
- Read the charge text as booking information, then search court records for formal charges.
- If the person is missing from the roster, check VINE, call the jail, or use the sheriff records request form.
Harmon County Jail Roster Search
The roster interface is simple. It uses a single name filter, roster cards, profile links, pagination controls, and a VINE fallback link. The API fields observed in current records include BookingID, InmateID, BookingDate, ReleaseDate, FullName and name components, Sex, Race, DOB, Pic, City, State, Charges, and several fields that were blank in inspected records. Public profiles showed age instead of full date of birth and did not show public housing unit, public bond field, court date, judge, or projected release date.
| Field label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Search by Name... | Text input | No | Filters the current roster by the public name field; no wildcard rules are posted. |
| Pagination controls | Buttons or links | No | First, Previous, page number, Next, and Last appear when the result set requires paging. |
| Roster-card image or View Full Record | Link | No | Opens a profile at the inmate.php?bookingid= pattern. |
| Search VINE Link Now | Button or link | No | Opens VINE for custody status and notification search. |
The official roster screenshot shows the roster cards, name search, and VINE fallback in the same public interface.
The roster is a current custody tool, so a missing record may mean release, transfer, delayed processing, or a different custody system.
Harmon County Inmate Record Fields
A Harmon County inmate profile is a booking record, not a court judgment. It can help confirm that the person in custody is the person being searched, but it does not prove guilt or final case outcome. The profile may show a booking photo, name, sex, race, ethnicity field, age, city if populated, inmate ID, booking date, charge text, and buttons for Web Deposit, Commissary, and VINE notifications.
| Field | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Name and inmate ID | Public identity fields used to match the roster profile and notification tools. |
| Mugshot | Photo if the Pic field is populated, or a no-image placeholder when it is not. |
| Booked date | Date and time the public profile lists for the booking. |
| Charges | Booking charge text, which may differ from filed court charges. |
| ReleaseDate | Present in the API but blank for the current in-custody records inspected. |
| Housing, bond, court date | Not shown on inspected public profiles. |
Past Harmon County Inmate Records
Released or transferred people may not remain visible on the public roster. The sheriff page tells users that a missing inmate may still be in the process of being updated and points to VINE when the person may have been released or transferred. For older booking sheets, incident reports, booking photographs, or records not visible in the roster, the sheriff records request form is the local fallback. The form asks for requester contact details, a description of the records sought, a signature field, fee acknowledgement, and reCAPTCHA.
Past custody questions often need more than one source. VINE can help with custody status and notifications. OSCN and ODCR can show formal cases after filing. ODOC can show state-prison custody after sentencing. Federal and immigration custody should be searched outside the county roster.
County Jail vs State Prison Search
Harmon County jail records and Oklahoma state prison records answer different questions. The county roster is best for recent arrests, local holds, court or warrant holds, and people awaiting release or transfer from the Harmon County Jail. The ODOC locator is best after a person is sentenced to state custody. Federal and immigration searches are separate again.
| Custody type | Where to look | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| County jail | Harmon County Jail roster | Current county custody, booking date, charges, profile, and photo if available. |
| State prison | Oklahoma Department of Corrections locator | Sentenced state offenders, facility and sentence-related records, subject to ODOC disclaimer. |
| Federal custody | BOP locator or U.S. Marshals contacts | Sentenced federal inmates or federal pretrial transport and custody questions. |
| Immigration custody | ICE Online Detainee Locator | Current ICE detainees searched by A-number or biographical details. |
Harmon County Detention Facilities
Only one current detention facility was verified in Harmon County. The research found historical references to Hollis Community Work Center at the same general Hollis address, but current ODOC materials did not confirm an active state facility in the county. The facility list therefore stays narrow.
- Harmon County Jail - the county jail for current Harmon County custody, including pretrial detainees, local holds, court or warrant holds, and people awaiting release or transfer.
Harmon County Inmate Population FAQ
How big is the Harmon County inmate population? The current official roster returned 17 in-custody booking records on June 25, 2026. That is a live roster count, not a rated capacity or annual average daily population.
How do I search the Harmon County inmate population? Start with the sheriff's current roster by name. If the person is not listed, check VINE, call the jail, or use the records request form. Sentenced state prisoners are searched through ODOC instead.
Do booking charges prove a conviction? No. Booking charges are intake text. Formal charges and outcomes appear through court records after the prosecutor files or amends a case.
Are mugshots shown? The Harmon County roster displays booking photos when the photo field is populated. A no-image placeholder appears when a photo is not available on the public profile.
