Harrisville Police Jail Policies and Procedures

Intake Procedures

The intake procedure at the Harrisville Police Jail takes you through these steps:

You will be placed in a holding cell. If the jail is really busy, you may not be processed immediately.

First you will have to answer some questions, like your legal name, home address, date of birth and an emergency contact person, and you will also be asked about your medical and psychological history. Next, you’ll be given an inmate ID and you will get fingerprinted. Then, any personal property you have will be taken away from you and stored until you are released.

They will let you use the telephone in order to get in touch with a family member, friend, or loved-on.

If you are expected to be released quickly, they will let you keep wearing street clothes, but if you are not expected to make bail quickly you will be issued a jail uniform.

Discharge Procedures

Once you are able to post bail, you will be allowed to go home after you get discharged. Getting discharged from jail takes anywhere between 15 minutes to quite a few hours. So, the faster you can post bail, the sooner you can get released from jail. How quickly you get discharged will depend on whether you’ve got a bond amount or if the judge still needs to decide on your bail amount. For lesser charges, you will get booked and get released without having to post bail. When you have completed your jail sentence and are given a release date, expect to be discharged between 9am and noon.
