Dr. Eddie Warrior Custody Overview
Oklahoma Department of Corrections lists Dr. Eddie Warrior Correctional Center as a state prison in Taft, west of Muskogee. The facility is operated by ODOC, not by the Muskogee County Sheriff's Office, and it serves women in minimum-security and community-corrections custody. That distinction matters for inmate search. A person booked into the local jail may appear on the county roster first, but a person transferred to state prison is searched through ODOC records.
The ODOC facility listing gives the address as 601 N. Oak Street, Taft, OK 74463, with the main phone number (918) 683-8365 and fax 405-727-4525. ODOC listed Christe Sweat as warden in the 2026 research capture. Dr. Eddie Warrior Correctional Center is one of two ODOC prisons in Taft, alongside Jess Dunn Correctional Center, which means Muskogee County has a large state-prison presence in addition to the downtown county jail.
Dr. Eddie Warrior Inmate Population
ODOC describes Dr. Eddie Warrior Correctional Center as home to more than 900 inmates. A 2014 ODOC fact sheet located through Oklahoma Digital Prairie listed a historic capacity of 941, with the facility opened in 1988 and located in Taft for female custody. Treat the current population phrase as an ODOC description, not a daily roster count. The state locator should still be checked for a named inmate because movement, classification, release, and transfer data can change faster than facility overview pages.
These numbers should not be mixed with the Muskogee County jail population. The jail count reflects local arrests, holds, and short-term custody. Dr. Eddie Warrior Correctional Center reflects sentenced or otherwise ODOC-managed state custody. For a county-wide view that separates jail custody from prison custody, the Muskogee County inmate population page explains the local and state search paths together.
Dr. Eddie Warrior Inmate Lookup
Use OK Offender Lookup for Dr. Eddie Warrior Correctional Center. Do not rely on the Muskogee County jail roster for this prison. ODOC's lookup page displayed a disclaimer during research, and the available capture showed that users may need to accept the terms before the public search path opens. ODOC warns that locator data can be abbreviated and should not be treated as a full explanation of sentence details, time to serve, or every offense record.
The captured OK Offender Lookup entry screen shows the state portal used for sentenced prisoners, including people housed at Dr. Eddie Warrior Correctional Center.
After the disclaimer, search by the person's name or ODOC number when available. The full seven-digit ODOC number is especially useful because mail, money, and other ODOC processes use that identifier.
- Open OK Offender Lookup and accept the public-use disclaimer if prompted.
- Search by name, and add an ODOC number when the family has one from prior records or mail.
- Check the listed facility carefully; Dr. Eddie Warrior and Jess Dunn are both in Taft but serve different populations.
- Use the ODOC number from the profile for mail, JPay deposits, and questions to the facility.
| Lookup item | How it applies |
|---|---|
| County jail roster | Use for current Muskogee County Jail custody and recent booking records. |
| OK Offender Lookup | Use for Dr. Eddie Warrior Correctional Center and other ODOC state prisoners. |
| VINELink | Use for custody notification when the ODOC or county record links to that service. |
| Facility phone | Use when a record is unclear or the visit, mail, or money rule needs confirmation. |
Dr. Eddie Warrior Inmate Contact
Contact the facility for prison-specific questions, not the county jail desk. The main number is the best starting point for facility information, while ODOC's central office handles broader statewide correctional records and policy questions. Families should have the inmate's full name and ODOC number ready before calling because staff may need that number to route a question about mail, money, visitation, or custody status.

Dr. Eddie Warrior Inmate Visits
Dr. Eddie Warrior Correctional Center follows ODOC visitation rules. Visitors must be approved before visiting. Adults age 18 or older go through a background check, and ODOC says approval can take up to 90 days. The statewide visitation page also says all visits must be scheduled, no walk-ins are allowed, and schedule requests are due by Wednesday at 1 p.m. unless facility administration approves a change.
General ODOC visiting days are Saturday and Sunday. The research capture lists visiting days as beginning at 8 a.m. and ending at 4 p.m., with the visit length tied to security level and earned level. Attorney and special visits are handled on Monday and Thursday. Visitors should confirm the current appointment before travel because ODOC has a dedicated visitation process and may change details for security, staffing, or facility reasons.
| Visit rule | Dr. Eddie Warrior detail |
|---|---|
| Application | Required before a visitor may be approved. |
| Background check | Required for visitors 18 and older; approval may take up to 90 days. |
| Scheduling deadline | Requests are due Wednesday by 1 p.m.; no walk-ins. |

Note: Confirm approval and the scheduled time with ODOC before traveling to Taft for a prison visit.
Dr. Eddie Warrior Inmate Mail
ODOC mail rules require the inmate's name and ODOC number. The research notes that regular letters go through authorized ODOC digital mail channels, while legal mail, books, and approved publications still go to the facility under ODOC rules. Always use the ODOC number from the state locator because the same name can appear on more than one correctional record.
For money, ODOC says JPay is the only acceptable way to send deposits. Deposits need the full seven-digit ODOC number. Available methods include JPay.com, the JPay mobile app, phone deposits at 800-574-5729, MoneyGram with receive code 6365, and money order or cashier's check with the required deposit form. Do not use Cash App or Venmo for ODOC deposits.
The ODOC send-money page captured in the image below lists JPay methods and the fee table used for state prison deposits.
The fee schedule depends on the deposit amount and whether the transfer is made online or by phone. Money orders payable to JPay are mailed to P.O. Box 278320, Miramar, FL 33027 with the deposit form.
| Deposit amount | Online fee | Phone fee |
|---|---|---|
| $0.01-$20.00 | $3.95 | $4.95 |
| $20.01-$100.00 | $6.95 | $7.95 |
| $100.01-$200.00 | $8.95 | $9.95 |
| $200.01-$300.00 | $10.95 | $11.95 |
Phone contact is also handled through ODOC systems rather than the county jail. The ODOC offender-info page lists the Dr. Eddie Warrior Securus outbound phone number as (918) 310-2141. That number helps identify calls from the facility; it is not the same as the main facility information line.
Dr. Eddie Warrior Inmate Programs
Dr. Eddie Warrior Correctional Center has more published program detail than the local Muskogee County jail. ODOC identifies a specialized Regimented Treatment Program that combines physical training with six cognitive behavioral treatment programs. The program description stresses initiative, motivation, self-discipline, improved behavior, and completion standards. That makes it part of the state-prison correctional process, not a county booking service.
Oklahoma CareerTech's Taft Skills Center serves Dr. Eddie Warrior Correctional Center with Career Readiness, Manufacturing Academy, and Transportation, Distribution and Logistics. These programs are relevant when families are trying to understand why state custody differs from jail custody. A county jail booking record may focus on charges, bond, and court dates. A prison record can be tied to classification, sentence administration, programs, parole review, and reentry planning.
- Minimum security
- A lower prison security level used by ODOC for people classified for less restrictive custody than higher-security prisons.
- Community corrections
- A state corrections status that can involve structured custody and supervision closer to reentry than traditional prison housing.
- ODOC number
- The seven-digit Oklahoma Department of Corrections identifier used for lookup, mail, and JPay deposits.
Dr. Eddie Warrior Prison History
Taft is part of the local context for this facility. The Oklahoma Historical Society describes Taft as one of Oklahoma's historic All-Black towns, about eight miles west of Muskogee. The town began as Twine, had a post office by 1902, and was renamed Taft in 1904 for William Howard Taft. Today, Taft's correctional role is unusually large for a small town because ODOC operates both Dr. Eddie Warrior Correctional Center for women and Jess Dunn Correctional Center for men there.
ODOC says the Dr. Eddie Warrior site was once tied to the Indian Mission School Haloche Industrial Institute. In 1909, the site became the Deaf, Blind and Orphan Institute. ODOC took possession in 1986 and opened it as a prison in 1989, while the 2014 fact sheet listed 1988 as the opened date. The facility is named for Dr. Eddie Walter Warrior, who served as business manager of the DB&O Institute, superintendent of Muskogee County Schools, and principal and superintendent of Taft schools.
This history is one reason Muskogee County inmate search can be confusing. The county has a downtown jail for local custody, plus state prisons in Taft that use ODOC systems. For current county jail bookings, use the sheriff roster and the Muskogee County jail inmate records page. For Dr. Eddie Warrior Correctional Center, use OK Offender Lookup and ODOC rules for visitation, money, phone, and mail.
