Jackie Brannon Correctional Center
Jackie Brannon Correctional Center (JBCC) is a minimum-security facility for men located on 1,506 acres in northwest McAlester, Oklahoma. Established inside a former hospital in 1927, JBCC's three housing units are home to more than 700 inmates.
JBCC began life as a trusty unit of the Oklahoma State Penitentiary next door. It did not become a standalone institution until 1985. Agri-Services has a meat processing center, a dairy and milk processing center, an egg distribution center, a cow/calf operation, and a beef cattle operation at the facility, all of which use inmate labor.
The facility is named for former Oklahoma State Penitentiary Deputy Associate Warden Jackie Brannon.
