The first step is that you will answer some basic questions, such as what is your full name, your address, birth date and a contact person, and they’ll also ask you about your medical and mental history. Next, you’ll be given an inmate ID and you will be fingerprinted. Then, all personal property will be taken from you and stored until you get discharged from jail.

They will let you use the telephone so you can get in touch with a member of your family, friend, or loved one.

If they expect that you will make bail and be released quickly, you will be allowed to keep wearing street 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 be allowed to go home after you get discharged. Getting discharged takes between 10 minutes to quite a few hours.

When you have completed your jail sentence and have a discharge date, you should expect to be discharged between 9am and noon.
