| How Many County Jails Are In Oklahoma |
Counting Sheep... I Mean Jails
According to the National Institute of Corrections, the fine folks at the NIC (not the naughty internet kind), Oklahoma boasts a whopping 93 county jails. That's right, 93! Now, that's a lot of cell blocks for a state that's famous for... well, being Oklahoma (no offense, Okies, we love your fried onion burgers!).
Tip: Remember, the small details add value.
Wait, 77 Counties? Where'd the Extra Jails Come From?
Hold on there, smarty pants! Oklahoma has 77 counties, so how can there be 93 jails? Here's the thing: some counties are buddy-buddies and share jail facilities. Think of it like roommates – gotta split the rent (or in this case, the cost of bars and bunk beds).
Fun Facts Nobody Asked For (But Here They Are Anyway)
Tip: Share one insight from this post with a friend.

But Seriously, Folks...
