Grafton County Jail Policies and Procedures

Intake Procedures

The jail intake procedure at the Grafton County Jail takes you through these steps:

You will be placed in a holding cell. When the jail is busy, you will have to wait a while to get processed.

First, you must answer a bunch of questions, like what is your full legal name, your address, birth date and contact person, and they’ll also ask you about your medical and psychological history. Next, you will be issued an inmate ID number and you will be fingerprinted. Then, any personal property you have will get taken away from you and stored until you are discharged.

You will get to make a telephone call in order to contact a family member, friend, or loved-on.

If you are expected to be released shortly, you might be able to skip the jumpsuit and keep wearing your own clothes, but if you are not expected to make bail quickly you you will have to wear a jail issued jumpsuit.

Discharge Procedures

Once bail has been posted, you will be allowed to go home after you get discharged. The discharge process may take from 30 minutes to quite a few hours. In other words the quicker bail is posted, the quicker you will get discharged from jail. It also will depend on whether you’ve been given a cash bond amount or if a magistrate still needs to determine the bail amount. For a minor charge, you will simply be booked and then released on your recognizance without having to pay bail. When you have served your sentence and have a date of your release, you should plan to get released anywhere between the hours of 9am and 12pm.
