Moore Detention Center Release Paths
OCCJA owns and operates Moore Detention Center. Its own site describes two secure facilities serving federal, state, tribal, and local agencies. A 2021 ICE compliance inspection adds a more specific historic layer: the report documents adult male ICE and U.S. Marshals detainees under an ERO Dallas arrangement. That inspection supports the custody routes described here, but it does not prove the present custodian of any named person or the current contract population.
Leaving Moore can close the local bed assignment while another agency’s custody continues. OCCJA may record a community release or a transfer. ICE may move a detainee to another site, release the person under conditions, or carry out removal proceedings. USMS can move a federal prisoner between contract detention, court, and another holding site. If a federal sentence follows, BOP becomes the relevant sentenced-custody system. The destination field matters more than roster absence.
Confirm a Moore Center Release
Start with OCCJA because it operates the physical facility and can identify the local booking or detention event. Ask whether the Moore record closed as a release or transfer and which agency received the person. Then move to the system named in that response. Do not conduct a broad name sweep and merge similar records from unrelated agencies.
- Give OCCJA the full name, date of birth if known, and local booking or control number.
- Ask for the exit date and time, recorded authority, and destination or receiving agency.
- If ICE is named, search the ICE Online Detainee Locator with the A-number and country of birth when available.
- If USMS is named, inspect the federal criminal docket for detention, transport, or commitment events.
- If the person was committed to a federal sentence, use BOP’s locator by register number or full identity.
Each result has a narrow meaning. An ICE no-result is not a historical release record. A federal docket entry can describe a legal order without giving the physical transfer time. A BOP “Released” or “Not in BOP Custody” result confirms exit from BOP only. OCCJA’s destination record ties the local exit to the next check. The Okmulgee County released-inmate search provides the county and court route when the booking was local rather than federal or immigration custody.
Moore Release Records and Contact
Use OCCJA for Moore’s facility-created release and transfer record. No separate current public contact for Moore was documented in the sourcebook, so OCCJA’s main number is the supported route. The official site describes facility operations as continuous, but that does not mean a public records counter is open all day. Call first and ask for current arrangements, any estimate, and the proper way to submit a narrow request.

Records and release-desk hours were not published
Request the full name and aliases, date of birth if known, local control number, entry and exit dates, release or transfer authority, destination agency, and any releasable disposition record. If the answer identifies ICE, USMS, or another custodian, request the next record from that body. Oklahoma’s Open Records Act may govern the local record, while federal and immigration records follow their own access rules and exemptions.
Note: Ask OCCJA to spell the receiving agency and provide any control number needed for the next custody search.
Moore ICE Release Searches
The ICE Online Detainee Locator System, or ODLS, searches current immigration detention. The strongest method uses an A-number and country of birth. The biographical route uses name, birth date, and country of birth. Name variants, data timing, transfers, and the locator’s present-custody focus can all produce no result. ODLS is not a permanent release ledger.
| ODLS outcome | What it supports | What it does not prove |
|---|---|---|
| Facility result | ICE reports a current detention location | Future release date or case result |
| Transfer to another site | Custody continues in the ICE system | Community release |
| No result | The public locator did not return a current match | Release, removal, or freedom from other custody |
| Released under conditions | Physical ICE detention ended under the stated event | End of the immigration case or all supervision |
When ICE custody is indicated but ODLS does not settle the question, use the facility or ERO channel identified by OCCJA or the immigration case. The Moore inspection names ERO Dallas in its historical account. That source helps explain the route; it should not be treated as a live detainee list or a current phone directory.
Moore Federal Prisoner Releases
USMS manages federal prisoners from arrest through disposition and transfer. It does not publish a BOP-style archive of former prisoners. A Moore record that names USMS should therefore be paired with the federal court case. The docket can show an initial appearance, detention order, bond decision, plea, sentence, commitment, or later supervision action. The clerk’s filed order is the better source when a short docket line is unclear.
After commitment to a federal sentence, search the BOP Inmate Locator. Search by BOP Register, DCDC, FBI, or INS number when possible, or use name plus age, race, and sex filters. BOP covers federal incarceration records from 1982 to the present. Its result can show name, register number, age, race, sex, release date, and location or status.
- USMS custody
- Federal pretrial, transport, and prisoner management before or around case disposition.
- BOP custody
- Federal sentenced imprisonment administered by the Bureau of Prisons.
- Detainer
- A request or hold that can direct transfer to another agency after one custody event closes.
- Release
- An exit from the named custodian, not automatic clearance from all other systems.
Moore Detention Center History
The local and federal sources use different dates. OCCJA describes Moore as established in 2018. The ICE inspection says the facility opened in June 2017 and records ERO use beginning in 2018. The sources may refer to different construction, opening, contracting, or operating milestones. There is no basis to erase one date or silently pick a winner.
OCCJA says its two facilities operate around the clock and have combined capacity above 500. The number belongs to both facilities together. It is not Moore’s current occupancy and does not state how many beds belong to any agency. The 2021 inspection documents adult male ICE and USMS use at that time. Current individual custody still requires a live OCCJA response and the proper receiving-system check.

Moore Release Source Comparison
The best confirmation joins two records: the local exit record and the next agency’s status or case record. One source alone often answers only half the question. Keep the exact event words. “Transferred,” “released,” “removed,” “not in custody,” and “discharged” have different meanings.
| Custody question | Starting source | Follow-up |
|---|---|---|
| Did the Moore bed assignment end? | OCCJA | Ask for destination and authority |
| Is ICE reporting current detention? | ODLS | Use ERO or the case if no result is unclear |
| What happened in federal pretrial custody? | Federal docket and USMS role | Read filed detention or commitment orders |
| Did sentenced BOP custody end? | BOP locator | Check the federal judgment and supervision record |
A release from Moore and a release from federal or immigration custody may occur on different dates. Record the source and date for each event. This keeps the conclusion tied to the right custodian and avoids turning a local roster disappearance into an unsupported community-release claim.
Moore Release Request Details
A narrow Moore request should identify the exact custody episode. Include full name and aliases, date of birth if known, local control or booking number, entry date, exit date, and the federal or immigration case number when available. Ask for release or transfer authority, destination, receiving agency, and any releasable movement record. A request framed only as “was this person released?” may omit the transfer fact that resolves the search.
When the response names a court order, obtain that filed order. When it names ICE, use the A-number and ODLS. When it names USMS, use the federal case. When a federal sentence followed, move to the BOP locator and keep the BOP register number separate from Moore's identifier. These steps preserve the record trail across agencies.
No routine release hour, public waiting place, records fee, or guaranteed processing interval was found for Moore. Ask OCCJA about current access and costs rather than borrowing general jail practices from another facility.
