Roger Mills County Jail Overview
Roger Mills County Jail is operated by the Roger Mills County Sheriff's Office. The jail sits in the Cheyenne courthouse and sheriff's-office area, with public address references using 500 Broadway and 500 E. Broadway, Cheyenne, Oklahoma 73628. Older jail contract material also lists P.O. Box 369, Cheyenne, OK 73628 as a mailing reference. Sheriff Darren Atha is the current sheriff identified in the Oklahoma Sheriffs' Association listing and in 2026 local reporting.
The facility is a small rural county jail, not a state prison or federal detention center. Research found no separate state prison, BOP prison, ICE facility, regional jail, city jail roster, or sheriff-run annex in Roger Mills County. A local arrest should be checked first through the sheriff or jail, while a sentenced felony prisoner belongs in the Oklahoma Department of Corrections search system after transfer. Federal and immigration custody use separate federal tools.
StateImpact Oklahoma's 2019 jail inspection reporting gives the clearest public description of the jail interior and capacity.
That report described the Cheyenne jail as a small facility where deputies bring arrestees through the sheriff department garage and into a secure booking area.
Roger Mills County Jail Capacity
The best sourced capacity figure for Roger Mills County Jail is 28 beds. StateImpact Oklahoma used that figure in 2019 reporting, and the ODOC FY 2006 annual report also described Roger Mills County Jail as a county-owned and county-operated 28-bed medium-security facility. The current daily jail count was not found in an official sheriff dashboard, public roster, or county daily population feed, so the current head count should not be guessed.
| Measure | Figure | Source Status |
|---|---|---|
| Rated capacity | 28 beds | StateImpact Oklahoma 2019; ODOC FY 2006 report |
| Historic ODOC contract capacity | 10 beds | ODOC FY 2006 report, not stated as current |
| Local jail count | 22 people | Prison Policy Initiative Census 2010 table, dated 3/31/2006 |
| Local jail count | 25 people | Prison Policy Initiative Census 2020 table, dated 12/31/2013 |
| Current daily count | Not located | No official current daily count found during research |
Small raw numbers matter here. A count of 25 people in a 28-bed jail is close to capacity, even though 25 people would be a minor unit count in a large urban jail. Any public figure should be read with its date, because one transfer, bond release, or delayed ODOC pickup can change the local count in a small jail.
Find Roger Mills County Jail Custody
No official Roger Mills County sheriff-hosted online jail roster was located. That finding is important because search results often lead to Rogers County, third-party jail directories, or generic pages. For Roger Mills County Jail, the reliable search path is direct sheriff or jail contact, an in-person or written public-records request when needed, Oklahoma VINE for custody status, OSCN for filed court cases, and ODOC for state prisoners after sentencing or transfer.
- Call the Roger Mills County sheriff or jail line and provide the person's full name, date of birth if known, arrest date, and arresting agency if known.
- Ask for current custody status, booking date, listed charges, bond or hold status, and whether a written Open Records Act request is required.
- Search Oklahoma VINE or register by phone at 1-877-654-8463 for custody status and notifications.
- Use OSCN docket search after a case is filed, selecting Roger Mills County District Court when available.
- Search ODOC offender lookup only for sentenced state prisoners, and use BOP or ICE only for federal or immigration custody.
| Custody Type | Best Search Route | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Recent local arrest | Sheriff or jail phone, in person, VINE | Roger Mills County Jail handles local booking and release status. |
| Filed criminal case | OSCN and court clerk | Court charges can differ from jail booking allegations. |
| Sentenced state prisoner | ODOC offender lookup | State prison custody is separate from the county jail. |
| Federal prisoner | BOP inmate locator | BOP covers federal prison custody from 1982 forward. |
| Immigration detainee | ICE Online Detainee Locator | ICE uses A-number or biographical search fields. |
Roger Mills County Jail Contact
Use the Cheyenne courthouse and sheriff's-office contact points for Roger Mills County Jail questions. OK I'm Ready lists the sheriff's office at 500 Broadway with phone (580) 497-2417. Other county references use 500 E. Broadway for the courthouse area. A 2026 KOKH report quoting Sheriff Darren Atha also reported (580) 303-6048 as a sheriff's office number. Because the second number comes from news coverage, confirm locally before relying on it as the direct jail line.

Roger Mills County Jail Bond
Bond and release questions should start with the jail because no Roger Mills County online bond schedule or payment page was located. Oklahoma law generally permits bail in criminal cases unless another law or court order blocks release. A person may have a cash bond, surety bond, personal recognizance bond, property bond, no-bond order, warrant hold, probation or parole hold, federal hold, ICE detainer, or another agency hold. Those categories affect whether payment alone can lead to release.
Before going to Cheyenne, ask staff whether the person is in custody, the exact booking name, whether bond has been set, where payment is accepted, and which payment methods are allowed. Do not assume cards, personal checks, money orders, or online payment are accepted. If a case has been filed, OSCN may show bond entries, bondsmen, surety depositors, court dates, and later changes to the original booking charge.
Roger Mills County Jail Visits
No official Roger Mills County Jail visitation schedule, visitor handbook, video-visit vendor page, dress code, or holiday schedule was located. That means the safest visit plan is to call before traveling. Ask whether visits are in person or video, whether the person must submit a visitor list, what ID is required, whether minors may visit, and whether court, staffing, lockdown, weather, or holidays have changed the schedule.
| Visit Topic | Research Status | Action Before Travel |
|---|---|---|
| In-person schedule | No official schedule found | Call the jail before arriving. |
| Video visits | No local vendor confirmed | Ask whether remote or on-site video is used. |
| Visitor ID | No local written rule found | Bring government photo ID and confirm minor rules. |
| Dress code | No official local rule found | Ask staff what clothing is barred. |
| Attorney visits | No public procedure found | Attorneys should call the jail or court clerk. |
Note: Do not rely on visitation schedules from other Oklahoma counties, because Roger Mills County Jail did not publish one in the sources located.
Roger Mills County Jail Mail and Money
No official inmate mail rule page, money-deposit fee table, phone vendor rate sheet, or package rule page was found for Roger Mills County Jail. Older jail material lists P.O. Box 369 in Cheyenne as a mailing reference, but families should call before sending letters, photos, books, packages, or money. Ask whether the envelope must include the inmate's full legal name, booking number, housing location, and sender return address.
Tiger Commissary's Roger Mills County Jail page confirms that the jail appears as a selectable facility in Cheyenne, Oklahoma.
The Tiger page did not expose local service fees, deposit cutoffs, or order rules in the text captured for research, so those details should be verified with the jail or vendor before money is sent.
| Service | Known Detail | What to Verify |
|---|---|---|
| P.O. Box 369 appears in older jail references | Exact inmate-mail format and banned items | |
| Phones | StateImpact reported phones at the jail | Phone vendor, account setup, and rates |
| Commissary | Tiger Commissary facility selection exists | Fees, order window, deposits, and limits |
| Lobby deposits | No official source located | Whether cash, kiosk, card, or money order is accepted |
Roger Mills County Jail Booking
StateImpact Oklahoma described the local intake path in more detail than most public sources. Arrestees are brought into the sheriff department garage, pass through a heavy jail door, are searched, sit for booking, and then move through the jail's intake process. Booking may include identity checks, property inventory, fingerprints, a booking photograph, listed arrest facts, bond or hold review, medical and safety screening, and housing assignment.
Oklahoma law also shapes timing. 22 O.S. Section 181 requires a defendant to be taken before a magistrate without unnecessary delay. The jail booking record and the court record are still different records. The booking record shows the arrest and custody event. The court case appears after the prosecutor or court filing creates a public docket entry, which can be searched through OSCN.
Roger Mills County Jail Records
Public record access should be framed carefully because no official online roster or mugshot gallery was found. Oklahoma's law-enforcement records statute, 51 O.S. Section 24A.8, requires law-enforcement agencies to make arrestee descriptions and arrest facts available if kept, subject to legal exceptions. That may include name, date of birth, address, race, sex, physical description, occupation, cause of arrest, and arresting officer information.
For a Roger Mills County Jail booking sheet, mugshot, bond record, or release status, ask the sheriff's office whether the record can be provided by phone, in person, or only through a written Oklahoma Open Records Act request. Juvenile records, sealed or expunged records, medical information, active-investigation details, and security-sensitive information may be withheld or redacted. Adult booking photos may be public if kept, but no sheriff-hosted online photo feed was located.
Roger Mills County Jail Conditions
Roger Mills County Jail has useful historical and inspection context. The ODOC FY 2006 report described the jail as medium security and county owned, with a 10-bed contract capacity for adult male ODOC prisoners and a $31 per diem at that time. That contract detail is historical. It should not be treated as proof that the same ODOC contract beds or per diem are current.
That older ODOC material also documented religious services, GED opportunities twice a week, at least one hour per day of outside exercise in a secure yard, low misconduct and grievance activity, and courthouse HVAC work that served the jail area. StateImpact's 2019 reporting later quoted Sheriff Darren Atha describing basic jail conditions such as warm water, heating and air conditioning, TV, and phones. It also noted that Oklahoma county jails are subject to annual health department and Fire Marshal inspection roles.
Note: Confirm custody, visit access, mail rules, and commissary details with Roger Mills County Jail before driving to Cheyenne.
