Notes on the record
- Two live official sites: the county on the OKCounties.org platform (love.okcounties.org) and the Sheriff's Office at lovecosheriff.com. Neither is dead.
- NAME INCONSISTENCY: the sheriff writes 'Love County Jail'; OSDH writes 'LOVE COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY' (DET-073).
- Do not confuse the working jail with the 'Love County Jail and Sheriff's Residence', a separate historic National Register property in Marietta.
- No public trust or jail authority found; the Sheriff's Office operates the jail.
- Smallest jail population in this group (census 22 at the 11/04/2025 state inspection).
- The county does NOT publish inspection reports itself. No capacity figure, no PREA policy (checked /prea and /prea-policies - both 404), no in-custody death reporting, no jail contracts (love.okcounties.org has no /bids page at all - 404).
- No combined board page; commissioner districts 1-3 are listed separately under /offices. /meetings carries BOCC agendas and minutes.
These three offices decide who sits in a cell in Love 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).
