Greenwood Police Jail Policies and Procedures

Intake Procedures

The jail intake procedure at the Greenwood Police Jail takes you through each of these steps:

They’ll put you in a holding cell. If the jail is really busy, you will have to wait, sometimes for many hours, before you get processed.

First, you will answer some questions, like your full name, home address, date of birth and a contact person, and they’ll also ask about your medical and psychological history. Next, you will be issued an inmate number and you will get fingerprinted. Then, any personal property you have will be taken away from you and stored until you get released from jail.

You will get to make a telephone call so you can get in touch with a member of your family, friend, or loved one.

If you are expected to be released quickly, you might get to wear your own clothes, but if you are not expected to make bail quickly you will be issued a jumpsuit.

Discharge Procedures

Once you are able to post bail, you will be allowed to leave jail. Getting discharged from jail may take anywhere from 15 minutes to all day long. Or, simply, the faster you can post bail, the sooner you will be freed. Also, it depends on whether you’ve got a bond amount or if a judge needs to determine how much your bail will be. For minor offenses, you will be booked and released on your own recognizance. When you have served out your jail sentence and have a date of your release, plan to be discharged at any time that day – but usually in the morning.
