Vardaman Police Jail Policies and Procedures

Intake Procedures

The jail intake procedure at the Vardaman Police Jail is made up of these steps:

You will be placed in a waiting area or cell. If the jail is busy, you may not be processed immediately.

The first step is that you have to answer some basic questions, such as what is your legal name, your address, birthdate and a contact person, and they’ll also ask about your mental and medical history. Next, you’ll be given an inmate number and your fingerprints will be taken. Then, any personal property you have will get taken away from you and will be stored until you are released.

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

If they expect that you will make bail and be released quickly, you might be allowed to skip the jumpsuit and keep wearing your own clothes, but if you are not expected to make bail quickly you you will have to change into a jail issued jumpsuit.

Discharge Procedures

Once bail has been posted, you will be allowed to leave jail. Getting discharged will take anywhere from 30 minutes to many hours. So, the faster bail is posted, the sooner you will get released. It also might depend on whether you have a cash bond or if a magistrate must decide on how much to set your bail at. For a minor charge, you will be booked and then released on your recognizance without having to pay bail. When you have completed your jail sentence and are given a date of your release, expect to be released that morning.
