Notes on the record

Two live official sites: mayes.okcounties.org (county) and www.mayessheriff.org (Sheriff's Office). The sheriff's site is served over http, not https.
NAME INCONSISTENCY: the Sheriff's Office writes 'Mayes County Detention Center'; the state inspection report writes 'MAYES COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY' (DET-078).
The jail is at a different address (34 N Adair) from the Sheriff's Office and courthouse (1 Court Place), so it is a standalone detention building rather than a courthouse jail.
No public trust or jail authority found for Mayes County.
The county does NOT publish inspection reports itself. No capacity figure, no PREA policy, no in-custody death reporting, and no jail contracts (its /bids page shows no active bids; the newest bid year offered in the filter is 2016).
The /fees page publishes a County Sheriff fee section, but its 'Fee and Bond Schedules' link points to the state OSCN schedule rather than a county-published bond schedule, so bond_info is recorded as false.
Mayes is one of only two counties in this group (with Marshall) that publishes a combined commissioners board page rather than only the three district pages.

These three offices decide who sits in a cell in Mayes 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).
