Resolution. In a quick turnaround, The GEO Group and the State of Oklahoma Department of Corrections (ODOC) reached an agreement on a one-year contract to continue operating the Lawton Correctional and Rehabilitation Facility (LCRF) through June 2025. The Board of Correction approval allows the contract to move forward in the process to be approved by the Attorney General’s office and executed by ODOC.
Changes. As part of the agreement, ODOC will reduce the number of inmates housed at LCRF to 2,388 from a current 2,616. With the population reduction, GEO has pledged to actively work to reduce violence, provide more access to programs, and grant more out-of-cell time for the inmates.
