Oklahoma County plans to end the jail trust due to financial and safety failures, returning control to the sheriff.
Oklahoma County officials have recommended dissolving the jail trust overseeing the county’s detention center due to financial deficits, repeated deaths, and operational failures.
The move, backed by a 6-1 vote from the Budget Board, would return control to Sheriff Tommie Johnson III.
The trust requires unanimous approval to end, with the final decision pending the full county commission.
Officials cite a $5 million shortfall, denied reserve funding, and concerns over layoffs, while trust leaders blame chronic underfunding.
The decision marks a reversal from prior reforms and reflects growing frustration with the jail’s management.
