DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS History
Prior to statehood in 1907, all felons
convicted in Oklahoma Territory were
transferred to Kansas, at a cost of 25
cents per day. After statehood, McAlester
was chosen as the site for the Oklahoma
State Penitentiary (OSP) and 1,556 acres
northwest of McAlester was set aside for
the maximum security facility.
Construction began in 1908, when
$850,000 was appropriated by the
legislature. Inmates were returned from
Kansas to do the work. The first buildings
constructed at the site were the West
Cellhouse and the Administration Building.
Later, the Rotunda and the East Cellhouse
were constructed. Additional buildings
were constructed on an as-needed basis.
