Greenfield Police Jail Policies and Procedures

Intake Procedures

The jail intake process at the Greenfield Police Jail is made up of each of the following steps:

They’ll put you in a holding cell. When the jail is busy, you may not be processed immediately.

First, you have to answer a number of questions, like what is your full legal name, address, date of birth and an emergency contact person, and they’ll also ask about your mental and medical history. Next, you’ll be given an inmate ID and your fingerprints will be taken. Then, all personal property will be taken away from you and stored until you get released from jail.

You will then be allowed to make a phone call to contact a family member, friend, or loved-on.

When you get to the end of your sentence and know the date of your release, plan to get released at any time that day – but usually in the morning.
