How the Carter County Inmate Search Works
Search the Carter County roster by last name, first name or a word from the listed charge. Names may be spelled differently in booking records, so try the last name on its own first. When the public feed omits charges or bond, the official inmate search for Carter County Jail (cartercountysheriff.us/inmate-search) has the full booking record.
A new booking can appear several hours after the arrest, and a person transferred to another facility will drop off this list. Nearby county jails in Oklahoma, such as Canadian, Cherokee, Caddo, keep separate rosters; someone arrested across a county line will be booked there instead. Oklahoma and Tulsa counties publish inmate searches.
This roster covers Carter County Jail only; it is not a statewide Oklahoma inmate search. People sentenced to state prison are listed by the state department of corrections. County sheriffs run jails.
