Intake Procedures

The jail intake procedure at the Greenwood Lake Police Jail is made up of the following steps:

You will be placed in a holding cell. When the jail is busy, you will have to wait, sometimes for many hours, before you get processed.

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

They will let you make a phone call so you can talk to a family member, friend, or loved-on.

If they expect that you will make bail and be released quickly, they will let you skip the jumpsuit and keep wearing your own clothes, otherwise you will be issued a jail jumpsuit.

Discharge Procedures

Once bail has been posted, you will get released from jail. The discharge process will take from 10 minutes to hours or even all day long. In simple terms, the quicker you post bail, the quicker you will get released. Also, how fast you get released depends on whether or not you’ve got a bond amount or if the magistrate still needs to decide on the amount of bail to be set.
