The first step is that you will answer some questions, like what is your full legal name, your address, date of birth and a contact person, and they’ll also ask you about your medical and mental history. Next, you’ll be given an inmate number and you will be fingerprinted. Then, all of your personal property will be taken away from you and stored until you are discharged.

You will then be allowed to make a telephone call so you can call a member of your family, friend, or somebody else who can help you get out.
