Tulsa Jail overcrowding problem for police

The Tulsa County Jail is operating at full capacity.

We're told Tulsa Police call it a one-in, one-out policy where a prisoner has to make bond to create space at the lockup before another inmate can be booked into the jail.

Tulsa Police Captain Wendell Franklin says, "Right around ten o'clock last night (we were notified that) the jail was overcrowded and they were limiting the number of individuals that they were taking into the jail."
Franklin tells us it becomes an issue for police when they have to wait to get a prisoner booked into jail.
