What to Do When Someone May Be in Jail

Start calm, gather the right information, and avoid sending money to anyone you cannot verify.

Write down the person’s full legal name.

Nicknames can slow down the process. Full legal name and date of birth help narrow the search.

Confirm the county, city, or jurisdiction.

If the arrest happened near Sallisaw or in Sequoyah County, include that in your request.

Ask about bond, court dates, and next steps.

If custody is confirmed, families often need help understanding bond information, upcoming court dates, and how to move forward.

Watch out for scams.

Do not send money to someone you cannot verify. Use known phone numbers and trusted contacts.
