Intake Procedures

The intake process at the Woodmere Police Jail is made up of each of these steps:

You will be placed in a holding cell. If the jail is really busy, it will take a while to get processed.

First you will answer some basic questions, like your full name, your address, birth date and an emergency contact, and they’ll also ask about your psychological and medical history. Next, you will be issued an inmate number and you will be fingerprinted. Then, all personal property will be taken from you and stored until you get released.

They will allow you to use the phone to 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 might be allowed to wear your own clothes, if not you will be issued a jail uniform.

Discharge Procedures

When you pay your bail, you will be allowed to leave jail. This process will take between 15 minutes to all day long. In simple terms, the faster bail is posted, the faster you can get released from jail. How quickly you get discharged will depend on whether you’ve got a cash bond amount or if the magistrate needs to determine how much to set your bail at. For a minor offense, you will be booked and released on your own recognizance. When you get to the end of your sentence and know the date of your release, you should plan to be released at any time that day – but usually in the morning.

We recommend that inmates talk to the counselor at their facility and try to find out. You can also try to make an arrangement so that only a percentage of your commissary funds are taken, instead of all your funds take at one time.
