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

The first step is that you must answer a bunch of questions, such as what is your full name, street address, date of birth and a contact person, and also, you will also be asked about your psychological and medical history. Next, you’ll be given an inmate ID and your fingerprints will be taken. Then, any personal property you have will be taken from you and stored until you are released.

You will then be allowed to make a telephone call in order to talk to a family member, friend, or loved-on.

If you are expected to be released quickly, you will be allowed to wear your street clothes, but if you are not expected to make bail quickly you you will have to change into a jail issued jumpsuit.

Discharge Procedures

Once bail has been posted, you will get discharged from jail. The discharge process may take anywhere between 30 minutes to hours or even all day long.

If an inmate has fines or are required to pay restitution then they will be subject to garnishment of their commissary/trust account.

In some cases it may be a percentage or the entire amount of the obligation, but the actual percentage depends on the circumstances. 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.

The prices are posted and there are at least two types of prices based on where the inmate is calling. These three factors will determine how much an inmate phone call will cost: Where you are located; Where your inmate is located, What type of phone number you have.
