Orphaned references in Oklahoma State Penitentiary

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

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.

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. "
