Criminal Justice Authority Regular Meeting 11/09/2026

The Oklahoma County Criminal Justice Authority’s regular meeting on November 9, 2026, included several spending and contracting actions. Members approved invoices (with no amounts or vendors specified), approved an application for the Bureau of Justice Assistance FY26 Justice Reinvestment Initiative—described as a grant of approximately $4 million—and approved a contract with MGT Consulting for its annual calculation of the actual cost of incarceration. The Authority also approved a memorandum of understanding with the Medical Justice Alliance, a volunteer medical group that reviews patient records to identify potential medical releases. The September financial report showed a positive outcome of $384,710; October revenue exceeded expenses by just over $1.5 million. No specific amounts were given for the MGT contract or invoices.

The jail administrator reported completed replacement flooring in all three elevators and updates to laundry dryers, without providing costs or vendor details. Operational topics included staffing, recruitment, training, contraband, inmate population, and re-entry services. The Authority deferred action on the proposed alternate bylaws while members work toward a revised version. The Oklahoma County Bondsman Association also presented data and comments on release practices; no related procurement action was identified.
