Intake Procedures

You will answer a bunch of questions, like what is your full legal name, your address, birth date and contact person, and you will also be asked about your psychological and medical history. Next, you’ll be given an inmate number and you will be fingerprinted. Then, any personal property you have will be taken from you and stored until you are released.

They will let you use the phone to call family, friends, or loved one.

If you are expected to be released shortly, they will let you skip the jumpsuit and keep wearing your own clothes, but if you are not expected to make bail quickly you you will be given a jumpsuit.

Discharge Procedures

When you finally post bail, you will get discharged from jail. This process can take from 10 minutes to quite a few hours. So, the faster bail is posted, the quicker you will get discharged.

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.
