Notes on the record

CAPACITY CONFLICT: Grant County advertises 'a 39 bed jail' on its own website, while the State Fire Marshal rated capacity recorded in the September 2025 OSDH inspection is 19 — a better than two-to-one discrepancy in the two official numbers.
ADDRESS INCONSISTENCY: the county writes the Sheriff's Office/jail address as '219 N. First St.'; OSDH records the detention facility at '219 W 1ST ST.'
NAME INCONSISTENCY: the county never gives the jail a proper name — it is described only as 'a 39 bed jail'. The state calls it the 'GRANT COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY' (DET048).
The county website is served under two hostnames simultaneously — grantcountyok.com and grant.okcounties.org — and internal links mix the two, which can break citation permalinks.
Failed its most recent state inspection (09/08/2025): the Undersheriff did not provide requested records and the facility had not conducted fire drills.
No jail roster is published; no budget, death log, PREA material, contracts, bond information or inmate fee schedule. The county 'Fees' page covers only County Clerk recording fees.
Commissioners are Keith McClure (District 1), Craig Fredrick (District 2) and Steve Stinson (District 3), each with an office page. The Public Meetings page holds agendas and minutes as PDFs (e.g.

These three offices decide who sits in a cell in Grant County and what it costs the people who live here. Nationally, almost 77% of the people who died in local jails in 2019 had not been convicted of anything, and suicide was the leading single cause of those deaths (Bureau of Justice Statistics, Mortality in Local Jails, 2000–2019).
