The Mayes County Sheriff's Office operates the county jail in Pryor, processing bookings from sheriff's deputies, the Pryor Police Department, and other municipal agencies. Booking records, including photographs and charge information, are publicly accessible under the Oklahoma Open Records Act (51 O.S. § 24A). The facility serves a county that spans from the Grand Lake recreational area in the east to the rural communities along U.S. Highway 69 in the west.

Pryor, the county seat, is a city of approximately 9,500 residents that has attracted national attention as the location of one of Google's major data center campuses. The MidAmerica Industrial Park, located south of Pryor, is one of the largest rural industrial parks in the United States, spanning over 9,000 acres. Google's investment in the facility has brought significant economic activity and infrastructure improvements to the area, including enhanced fiber optic connectivity throughout the county.

About Mayes County

Mayes County occupies a scenic corner of northeastern Oklahoma, with Grand Lake o' the Cherokees forming much of its eastern boundary. The lake is one of Oklahoma's premier recreational destinations, drawing tourists for fishing, boating, and lakeside tourism. Communities like Chouteau, Locust Grove, Salina, and Adair serve the county's rural population. The county falls within the Cherokee Nation reservation boundaries, which adds a jurisdictional consideration for law enforcement following the McGirt v. Oklahoma Supreme Court decision. Mayes County's economy is a mix of tourism driven by Grand Lake, industrial employment at MidAmerica Industrial Park, agriculture, and the growing technology sector anchored by Google's presence.
