Dick Conner Correctional Center

A medium-security state prison for men in Hominy, in Osage County in northeastern Oklahoma.

Overview

Dick Conner Correctional Center is a medium-security state prison for men operated by the Oklahoma Department of Corrections. It is in Hominy, in Osage County in northeastern Oklahoma. The facility houses men in medium custody.

It is one of Oklahoma’s original state-built prisons, opened in the 1970s during a period when the state expanded its prison system beyond the historic Oklahoma State Penitentiary at McAlester.

Oklahoma DOC assigns custody level based on factors that include sentence length, time remaining, and conduct, and a person’s custody level can change during incarceration. The custody class held at a given prison, together with the housing unit, determines whether visits are contact or non-contact, so families confirm the arrangement that applies to the specific person before a first visit.

What Makes Dick Conner Correctional Center Different

Dick Conner is one of the prisons the state built itself rather than acquiring from a private operator, and it has held a medium-custody men’s population in Osage County for decades. Because Oklahoma classifies people into custody levels and assigns housing accordingly, the visiting format, program access, and movement that apply to a given person depend on that person’s classification and housing unit rather than being uniform across the facility. Families confirm those details with the facility and the statewide Visitation Unit rather than assuming they are the same for everyone held there.

Getting There and Parking

Dick Conner Correctional Center is at 129 Conner Road in Hominy, in Osage County in northeastern Oklahoma. Hominy is northwest of Tulsa, reached by way of U.S. Highway 60 and State Highway 99. The nearest large commercial airport is in the Tulsa area.

Parking is on site. Visitors confirm current entry procedures, the visitor-processing location, and what may be brought onto the grounds with the facility before arriving, because items such as phones, smartwatches, cameras, and recording devices are not permitted inside — visitors may generally bring only identification, a car key, and coins for vending machines.

Nearby Services

Hominy has limited lodging and dining, with additional options in the surrounding Osage County communities and a wider range in the Tulsa area to the southeast. Emergency medical care in the region is available locally and, for larger facilities, in the Tulsa area. Visitors traveling a long distance generally find the most options for fuel, food, and overnight stays in and around Tulsa.

Mail

Oklahoma DOC routes incoming personal mail through an off-site digital vendor. As of September 1, 2024, letters and photos are mailed to the Securus Digital Mail Center in Dallas, where they are scanned and delivered to the inmate as a digital color image on a Securus tablet or kiosk — the original is not delivered. Inmates without device access get a free black-and-white printout. Address personal mail exactly as:

Inmate’s Full Name + ODOC Number Securus Digital Mail Center - Okla. Dept. of Corrections P.O. Box 223566 Dallas, TX 75222-3566

Illegible or incorrectly addressed mail may be returned or delayed.

Legal mail and special correspondence are not sent to the digital center — they go directly to the facility and are handled under the rules for privileged mail. Publications (magazines, newspapers, books) also go to the facility and must come directly from the publisher or an approved vendor. Packages cannot be sent to the digital mail center and must go to the facility.
