Intake Procedures

The intake process at the Piedmont Police Jail includes the following steps:

You will be placed in a waiting area or cell. If there are a lot of arrests, it will take a while to get processed.

Next, you will be issued an inmate number and you will be fingerprinted. Then, any personal property you have will get taken away from you and stored until you are released.

You will then be allowed to make a telephone call in order to talk to a member of your family, friend, or loved one.

If you think you will get released quickly, they will let you skip the jumpsuit and keep wearing your own clothes, but if you are not expected to make bail quickly you will be issued a jail uniform – the jumpsuit.

Discharge Procedures

Once bail has been posted, you will get discharged from jail. The discharge process may take between 30 minutes to hours or even all day long. In simple terms, the faster you can pay your bail, the quicker you will be freed. Also, it can depend on whether or not you’ve been given a cash bond amount or if the judge needs to figure out the amount of bail to be set. For minor charges, you will be booked and get released without having to post bail. When you get to the end of your sentence and are given a discharge date, you should expect to be discharged that morning.
