Where David L. Moss Releases Go
David L. Moss Criminal Justice Center, often shortened to DLMCJC and also called the Tulsa County Jail, is the central booking point for county misdemeanor and felony arrests. Leaving this building is a facility event. It does not, by itself, say where the person went. A bond, recognizance order, dismissal, time-served order, or completed county sentence may return someone to the community. A transfer can instead continue custody under a different agency.
The destination is especially important after a felony sentence or an outside hold. A Tulsa County release transaction may send the person to the Oklahoma Department of Corrections, another county, the U.S. Marshals Service, or ICE. The current inmate entry will usually cease once DLMCJC no longer holds the person. The jail release transaction, a matching court event, and the receiving agency record should be read together before describing the outcome.
| DLMCJC departure | What to check next |
|---|---|
| Bond or court-ordered release | Tulsa court docket plus the TCSO release transaction |
| County sentence completed | Judgment, jail credit, and the recorded date or manner of discharge |
| Transfer to ODOC | ODOC offender record, conviction county, reception, and status |
| Outside agency pickup | Receiving county, USMS, BOP, or ICE source identified by the hold |
A release on one Tulsa case does not clear an unrelated hold. It also does not prove the person remains free later. The record should be tied to the correct name, date of birth, booking number, and case whenever those identifiers are available.
Confirm a David L. Moss Release
The Tulsa County Inmate Information Center is framed by the county as a way to locate people currently in jail. A matching entry supports current custody at the time shown. No match is not a historical release result. It can also reflect transfer, spelling differences, an update delay, or custody under another system. The practical check begins there but does not end there.
- Search the official current-custody portal by the most exact name available. Preserve the booking or DLM number if a matching record appears.
- Open the OSCN Tulsa docket search. Prefer the case number, then review bond, dismissal, sentencing, jail-credit, writ, hold, and signed order entries near the suspected departure.
- Check OK VINE for the matched person and reporting agency. Quote its status as displayed, but treat it as an alert source rather than the final legal record.
- If a state sentence or transfer appears, use the ODOC offender lookup. Match more than one identifier and distinguish incarceration, supervision, parole, and discharge.
- Request the DLMCJC release transaction when the destination or exact time remains unclear. Ask whether the event was community release or transfer and request the public destination field.
The full Tulsa County released-person search and record workflow is available on the Tulsa County released inmates home page. It adds municipal, state, federal, and court channels when the original place of custody is uncertain.
Note: Record the access time because jail, court, VINE, and ODOC systems may post the same event on different schedules.
Get David L. Moss Release Records
A David L. Moss release record is requested from the Tulsa County Sheriff's Office, the agency that keeps the county custody transaction. Oklahoma's law-enforcement records provision gives the request a useful anchor. Under 51 O.S. §24A.8(A)(8), inspection of a kept jail register, blotter, or booking information includes the prisoner's name, commitment details, and the date or manner of discharge or escape. The law does not require TCSO to create a special report or disclose protected material.
The TCSO public-record request page says sheriff requests are accepted by mail or email, not by hand delivery. Give a definite description. Include the full name and aliases, date of birth if needed to distinguish the person, DLM or booking number, arrest or booking range, arresting agency, case number, and the exact records sought. Ask for the booking sheet, release log or transaction, date and time, authority or manner, public transfer destination, bond notation, and booking photograph if needed.

TCSO warns that anonymous, vague, incomplete, or open-ended requests will not be processed. Ask for segregable, nonexempt fields if one part of the record is withheld. Also ask for a fee estimate before costly work. The posted July 2026 schedule lists common copy, certification, media, labor, and technology charges, but the actual charge depends on the record and request. Oklahoma law calls for prompt, reasonable access rather than one fixed response deadline.
David L. Moss Release Contact
The jail's general line can route a case-specific custody question, while the sheriff's public-information channel handles a written record request. Continuous jail operation does not mean a public records counter or property service operates at all hours. Call before traveling and use the booking number when possible.

Neither contact should be asked to guess from a vanished roster entry. State what is known, ask whether TCSO recorded a release or transfer, and request the record that supports the answer. Court clerks supply filed orders, while ODOC, BOP, ICE, or another county supplies its own custody record.
David L. Moss Roster Limits
TCSO describes intake as entering the arrest report, taking a photograph and fingerprints, creating an identification card, stating charges, and allowing bond calls. Its public routes include a name search and booking-ID list. Research did not verify a distinct official 24-hour or 72-hour release archive, a post-release display period, or a public data dictionary. Readers should not turn a current-custody result into a made-up release feed.
The Tulsa Police offender-information page provides the county-jail portal route shown below.
The screen is a route to current county-jail information, not proof that a former entry was released to the community or an archive of David L. Moss releases.
When the portal and court docket seem to conflict, let each source answer its own question. TCSO held the physical custody record. The court entered the legal order. VINE may report the participating agency's status, and a receiving agency documents a transfer. Combining them is far stronger than assuming the first screen is complete.
Note: TCSO has not published a verified public cadence or retention period for the current-inmate portal.
Property After David L. Moss Release
DLMCJC has a specific property route after custody. TCSO directs people to schedule pickup with the property clerk at 918-596-8872. Posted hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., with closure on observed holidays. Those hours belong to property service, not to the timing of jail release transactions.
The distinction prevents a common mistake. David L. Moss Criminal Justice Center operates continuously, but TCSO does not publish a general release hour, exit door, family waiting location, weekend schedule, or guaranteed ride. The jail general number should be used for current instructions. Do not infer a departure time from the property-room schedule.
Property service also is not the release-record desk. A person seeking the date, authority, or destination of departure should use the public-information request channel. Keeping those contacts separate reduces delay and preserves a clear paper trail.
David L. Moss ICE Transfers
TCSO's jail-information page directs ICE-related issues to ICE. That local instruction matters because a county discharge can be followed at once by federal immigration custody. In that sequence, the person was released from Tulsa County custody but not released to the community.
Use the ICE Online Detainee Locator with an A-number and country of birth, or exact biographical details. The locator can lag, excludes people under 18, and is not a permanent archive. Current ICE guidance describes results for current detainees and people released from ICE custody within the prior 60 days. An inconclusive result should be followed through the ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations contact route.
The same agency rule applies to federal criminal custody. A USMS detainee may be housed locally without appearing in BOP's system before designation. For a sentenced or historical federal prisoner, BOP may show “Released” or “Not in BOP custody,” but those labels address BOP custody only. PACER and the federal custodian complete the check.
David L. Moss Release Context
David L. Moss Criminal Justice Center opened in 1997. TCSO reports 1,714 original beds and a 2017 expansion that brought reported capacity to 2,020. Those figures describe the county facility, not the number of releases or people now held. The building processes Tulsa County misdemeanor and felony bookings and remains distinct from municipal, state, federal, and immigration authority.
Tulsa's local custody map is also changing. The City of Tulsa opened a separate municipal jail in 2018, then the mayor directed that lockup to close on July 27, 2026. During that active transition, a city arrest may require checks with Tulsa Municipal Court, Tulsa Police, and DLMCJC. The closure direction is not a release or transfer record for any named person.
A careful David L. Moss release conclusion stays narrow: identify the facility event, connect it to its court authority, and follow any transfer to the agency that received custody. That method preserves the difference between leaving one building and becoming free of all custody.
