A transition timeline for the Oklahoma Country Jail is expected to be announced Tuesday, December 10. 

Mark Myers, the main spokesperson for the sheriff's office posted two tweets Dec. 9 that mentioned the jail and eventually the announcement.

It's not clear when an announcement will be made at the time.
