The Oklahoma County Jail Trust signed an agreement Monday with the Pawnee County Sheriff s Office for use of Pawnee County s detention facilities for housing youthful offenders.
The contract came after the trust was forced to relocate juvenile detainees after a failed Oklahoma State Department of Health jail inspection. The June 23 inspection, an unplanned follow-up to one in February, cited 35 deficiencies at the Oklahoma County jail.
The Pawnee County Detention Center was chosen after Oklahoma County administrators contacted numerous facilities across the state and did a tour, according to releases from the two counties. They came and inspected the jail and decided we fit those needs, said Pawnee County Sheriff Darrin Varnell.
