Dr. Eddie Warrior Correctional Center (EWCC) is located on the original site of the Indian Mission School Haloche Industrial Institute in Taft. In 1909, the site became the Deaf, Blind and Orphan Institute, serving children under a variety of other names. In 1986, ODOC took possession of the site and opened it as a prison in 1989.
The minimum-security facility for women is named after Dr. Eddie Walter Warrior, who was business manager of the DB&O Institute, superintendent of Muskogee County Schools, and a principal/superintendent of the Taft school system.
Today, EWCC is home to more than 900 inmates.
EWCC’s Regimented Treatment Program combines physical training with six cognitive behavioral treatment programs. Participating inmates learn self-discipline and must show initiative, motivation, and improved behavior to graduate.
Visitation

Important Note:All inmate visitors must submit a “Visitor Request Form." You can download a copy here, or request one from the facility.Background checks will be completed on everyone 18 or older. The inmate will notify you when the process is complete. The approval process takes approximately 8 weeks once the Visitor Request Form has been returned to EWCC.
All visitors bringing children under the age of 18 to visit will provide documentation; such as a birth certificate, adoption papers, etc. to reflect parentage or guardianship. Once a child reaches 18 years of age, a visiting application will be completed in accordance with Section II. item A. of this procedure in order to be placed on the inmate’s visiting list.
Special/Extended Visits
Special extended visits are allowed for staff-identified individuals who travel long distances, volunteers or team members who partner with ODOC in reentry services, attorney/clergy, etc. The facility's warden determines the length and conditions of all special visits. Special visits for ministers/religious leaders must be scheduled in advance through the Warden.
Requests for special visits must be made by the inmate using the appropriate request form and must be submitted by the inmate to unit staff at least two weeks in advance so verifications can be made. Exceptions to time frames may be considered in emergencies.
Digital Mail - This process begins Sept. 1, 2024. Until then, please continue to send the mail to the facility.
