David L. Moss Criminal Justice Center Inmate Lookup

David L. Moss Criminal Justice Center Overview

David L. Moss Criminal Justice Center, often shortened locally to DLMCJC or the Tulsa County Jail, is operated by the Tulsa County Sheriff's Office Detention Division. Its official address is 300 N. Denver Avenue, Tulsa, OK 74103, in the downtown jail and courthouse area near the Tulsa County Courthouse and the Tulsa Police Courts Building. The jail is the primary physical custody point for Tulsa County misdemeanor and felony arrests, local sentenced jail inmates, municipal overflow prisoners, tribal holds, Oklahoma Department of Corrections holds, ICE holds, and U.S. Marshals detainers when those holds are accepted into the county system.

The building opened in 1997 with 1,714 beds. TCSO says a 2017 addition, including mental-health units and two open dorm-style units, raised total capacity to 2,020 beds. The sheriff's official bio describes David L. Moss as a roughly 2,000-bed facility with medical and mental-health services and notes a 100 percent American Correctional Association compliance rating in 2020. Within the jail, people are assigned to pods and classified across levels 1 through 8, with restrictive housing, close custody, general population, dorm-style housing, and mental-health housing available depending on charges, behavior, medical needs, and security review.

The TCSO detention page is the best official starting point for facility-wide information because it links the roster, jail information, inmate handbook, and related detention resources. During research, that page and the TCSO jail information page documented the most important public-facing details: capacity history, intake, booking, visitation, mail, commissary deposits, property room contact, and the current roster path.

David L. Moss Criminal Justice Center Capacity and Population

Tulsa County's current jail-capacity number comes from the TCSO detention page: 2,020 beds after the 2017 expansion. The public 365Labs roster endpoint showed 1,437 current inmates on June 25, 2026. That roster-derived count equals about 71.1 percent of the rated capacity at that inspection moment. It should be read as a point-in-time roster count, not an official annual average daily population, because people are booked, released, transferred, and held for outside agencies throughout the day.

The roster also showed 78 recent bookings in the last 48 hours on June 25, 2026. Those recent bookings are useful for finding a person soon after arrest, but they are not a daily average and they do not capture long-term jail population trends by themselves. Roster records can include hold language such as HOLD/DOC, HOLD/ICE, HOLD/U.S. MARSHALS DETAINER, HOLD/CITY OF TULSA INMATE, tribal holds, and other-county holds. Those labels help explain why a person may remain in custody even when a local charge appears to have a bond amount.

How to Look Up an Inmate at David L. Moss Criminal Justice Center

The correct public lookup for David L. Moss is the Tulsa County 365Labs inmate roster. The old Tulsa County Inmate Information Center redirects users to that portal, and TCSO's detention resources point people toward the current roster. The roster is public and free, though a browser may display a captcha before the form loads.

1. Open the Tulsa County 365Labs inmate roster from the TCSO detention page or the direct community portal link.
2. Choose the right filter: Recent for last-48-hour bookings, All for current inmates, or Recent Releases for last-48-hour releases.
3. Search by last name and add first name if needed. If you have a booking number, use it to avoid confusing people with similar names.
4. Review the list columns for name, gender/race code, date of birth, age, booking date, and booking number.
5. Open the person record to review charges, bail amounts, warrant numbers, charging agency abbreviations, formal charge docket numbers, hold notations, and any release date.
6. Use the Refresh button for a very recent arrest, and call David L. Moss at 918-596-8900 if the roster and custody status do not line up.

Use the county roster only for people physically booked at David L. Moss or listed through county jail records. Sentenced state prisoners belong in the Oklahoma Department of Corrections OK Offender Lookup. Federal prisoners belong in the BOP inmate locator, and immigration custody belongs in ICE ODLS. A David L. Moss roster hold can point to one of those systems, but it does not replace the separate agency locator.

David L. Moss Criminal Justice Center Address and Contact

Use the jail phone for current custody, booking, visitation, and release questions. Public records and background-check services are separate from jail lobby questions; TCSO's Public Services Unit is at 218 W. 6th Street, 6th floor, and is open weekdays 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. excluding holidays. Open-records requests for TCSO records should be mailed or emailed to the Public Information Officer, not hand delivered.

Visiting Someone at David L. Moss Criminal Justice Center

On-site public visits at David L. Moss are non-contact and limited to documented immediate relatives. TCSO lists mothers, fathers, grandmothers, grandfathers, sons, daughters, wife, siblings, and husband as eligible immediate relatives, and it specifically excludes friends and fiances. A visitor request form must be submitted before scheduling. Visitors should bring photo identification, expect security screening, and review clothing rules before travel. The inmate handbook adds that each inmate is allowed one visit per allowable visitation day, normally one person, and public visits are 30 minutes unless privileges are restricted.

Visitors under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian and have photo ID such as a driver's license, state ID, or school ID, plus proof of guardianship when required. Visitors under 14 need a special visit through the Chaplain's office. Visitation can change for staffing or security reasons, so confirm the visit with the jail before traveling downtown.

Mail, Phone, and Money at David L. Moss Criminal Justice Center

Address personal mail to the inmate's full name and DLM number, c/o David L. Moss, 300 N Denver Ave., Tulsa, OK 74103. The handbook allows ordinary letters, postcards, certain greeting cards, small photographs no larger than 5 by 7, newspapers from the publisher, and books from Amazon Fulfillment Services or Barnes & Noble. It rejects padded envelopes or boxes, cash, personal checks, stamps, stickers, stationery, plastic or laminated items, food, crayon or marker material, foreign substances such as lipstick or perfume, coded messages, gang-related content, sexually explicit material, and escape, weapons, or drug-making content. Properly marked legal mail is opened in front of the inmate and inspected for contraband.

Mailed funds must be a money order or cashier's check. Do not send cash or personal checks. Write the inmate's name and DLMCJC number on the money order, but not in the payee space, and include a return address. Lobby kiosks accept cash and credit cards for a nominal fee. Jail phone calls are not incoming calls; inmates use phones during available free time, subject to counts, meals, discipline, and security needs.

Booking and Intake at David L. Moss Criminal Justice Center

When officers in Tulsa County arrest someone on a misdemeanor or felony matter, the person enters David L. Moss through the booking area. The arresting officer completes paperwork and tells booking staff about the person's behavior and medical condition. Jail staff may reject a prisoner temporarily if medical treatment is needed before admission. After admission, the person is informed of the charges, photographed, fingerprinted, issued an ID card, and allowed phone calls to arrange bond or notify family and friends.

Classification follows booking. Staff interview the inmate and consider current charges, bond amounts, past criminal history, behavior during prior incarcerations, and information from other agencies. The inmate is then assigned a security level, housing unit, cell, and bed. If someone cannot post bond, jail staff issue jail clothing and move the person to housing. The jail information page also lists a DLM Property Room number, 918-596-8872, for property pickup on weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., closed on observed holidays.

About David L. Moss Criminal Justice Center

David L. Moss is more than a booking counter. TCSO describes continuous staffing by detention officers, medical staff, and mental-health professionals. The facility offers church services for multiple faiths, educational classes, recidivism-reduction programming, work and skill opportunities, and 20 to 30 GED graduates each year. The inmate handbook describes kiosks for requests, grievances, classification appeals, and some ICE detainee communications. These details matter because the roster may identify the legal reason for custody, while the facility rules govern daily access, mail, money, visits, and movement inside the jail.
