Although Oklahoma Correctional Industries is an integral part of the Department of Corrections, it is more like a private business conglomerate working within the framework of state government. 

It offers customers quality products at a reasonable price, reduces offender idleness and provides job skills training.

This results in significant overall tax savings to the general public.

Oklahoma Correctional Industries employs 1,075 offenders in 19 operations located at 11 institutions.

72 professional staff educated and experienced in all phases of modern corporate business administer OCI's operations. 

Oklahoma Correctional Industries operations are self-supporting.

In addition to the public sector industries, Oklahoma Correctional Industries also manages a program which utilizes offenders who work for the private sector in two businesses that involve business to business telemarketing and recycling returned merchandise.
