Orphaned references in Oklahoma State Penitentiary[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Oklahoma State Penitentiary's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "nris":

From Warden's House (McAlester, Oklahoma): "National Register Information System". National Register of Historic Places. National Park Service. July 9, 2010.
From Montana State Prison: "National Register Information System". National Register of Historic Places. National Park Service. April 15, 2008.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 13:54, 1 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Timothy McVeigh[edit]

I have removed Timothy McVeigh from the notable prisoner section as there is no evidence that he was ever at this facility, despite my exhaustive searches on line. I would be happy to put him back if someone can get a valid source.

First Oklahoma Prison to have Drone Contraband delivery.[edit]

Need to add this info as it is an interesting fact.

"The unmanned object that showed up outside the state penitentiary Monday marks the first attempt at using a drone to smuggle contraband into one of the Oklahoma’s prisons, according to Corrections officials. "
