Office Units
Assessment and Reception of Inmates
Male inmates are received by the Assessment and Reception Center (A&R) located in Lexington. Female inmates are received by Mabel Bassett Correctional Center in McLoud.
ODOC's philosophy is that inmate re-entry begins at entry. Inmates serving less than 100 years undergo a complete needs assessment to determine what treatment the inmate requires to reduce their probability of recidivism. Case plans are established utilizing objective assessments, to determine the need for substance abuse treatment, and/or cognitive behavioral programs. Inmates are also classified to maximum, medium, or minimum security.
Population Office
The Population Office is responsible for scheduling all inmate movement throughout ODOC. For an inmate to move from one location to another, the facility must submit a transfer packet. The population staff is responsible for correct classification and placement at the requested custody level. They balance the needs of the offender to move to lower levels of custody for reintegration purposes and maintain the safety of the public.

Central Transportation Unit
The Central Transportation Unit (CTU) is responsible for transporting all inmates. Once inmates receive their initial classification at the A&R, they move to their initial placement. If an inmate requires movement, this unit ensures the inmate is transported safely and securely.
CTU has three sites located statewide:
- Lexington Assessment and Reception Center in Lexington
- John Lilley Correctional Center in Boley
- Jackie Brannon Correctional Center in McAlester
CTU is also responsible for the OU Medical Center and the Lindsay Municipal Hospital.
