All Juvenile Inmates In Oklahoma County Detention Center To Be Transferred After Health Dept. Inspection

OKLAHOMA CITY -
Jail officials said Monday they plan to transfer the 12 juvenile inmates in custody at the Oklahoma County Detention Center, after the Oklahoma State Department of Health said the facility is no longer certified to house minors. 
Last week, OSDH officials told the jail’s administrator, Greg Williams, notifying him of the loss of certification.
The jail transferred several inmates under 18 years old to other facilities but kept 12 minors suspected of committing first-degree murder in custody, due to their designation as adults for criminal prosecution. 
Williams, on Monday, met with District Judge Ray Elliot and other jail officials to discuss the group of 12 minors. They decided to transfer the group to other facilities “as soon as possible,” said jail spokesperson Mark Opgrande.
