Johnston County Inmate Records

The Johnston County Jail at 110 North Capital Ave in Tishomingo holds all booking records and mugshots for the county. No online roster exists. You can not search for inmates on a website. But the office phone is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Call (580) 371-2691 at any time to ask about someone. The staff can tell you if a person is in custody, what charges they face, and whether a mugshot is on file.

That 24/7 availability is a real advantage compared to many other small Oklahoma counties. You do not have to wait until Monday morning to find out if someone was booked over the weekend. Just pick up the phone and call. If you need more than a quick status check, the staff can explain how to submit a formal records request. They deal with these calls regularly and know the process well.

In-person visits are another path. Go to the jail at 110 North Capital Ave during business hours. Bring your ID and the name of the person you need info on. Staff will look them up in the system. For a copy of a booking photo, ask about fees and format. Some offices can print a copy on the spot. Others may need to pull it from their digital system and send it to you later.

Requesting Mugshots from Johnston County

For a formal written request, mail a letter to: Johnston County Sheriff, Attn: Jail Records, 110 North Capital Ave, Tishomingo, OK 73460. State what you need clearly. Include the person's full name and date of birth if you have it. Reference the Oklahoma Open Records Act in your letter. Under Title 51 Section 24A.8, jail mugshots are public records. The law requires law enforcement to release arrestee descriptions, and booking photos fall into that category.

Standard fees apply for copies. The typical rate in Oklahoma is $0.25 per page. If you want a digital copy and the jail stores mugshots electronically, they are supposed to provide it in that format. Response times vary depending on how busy the office is. A phone follow-up after a few days is a good idea if you have not heard back. The Johnston County jail staff are generally responsive, but a reminder never hurts.
