Morris County Jail Policies and Procedures

Intake Procedures

The intake procedure at the Morris County Jail takes you through each of these steps:

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

First you will have to answer some basic questions, such as what is your full legal name, street address, birthdate and an emergency contact, and you will also be asked about your medical and psychological history. Next, you’ll be given an inmate ID and you will be fingerprinted. Then, all of your personal property will get taken away from you and stored until you get released.

You will get to use the telephone so you can talk to a family member, friend, or loved-on.

If you think you will get released quickly, you will be allowed to keep wearing street clothes, if not you will be issued a jail uniform.

Discharge Procedures

Once bail has been posted, you will be allowed to leave jail. Getting discharged from jail takes between 10 minutes to all day long. Or, simply, the faster you can pay your bail, the faster you will get released. It also might depend on whether you’ve got a bond amount or if the judge needs to decide on the bail amount. For a minor charge, you will get booked and then released on your recognizance without having to pay bail. When you have completed your jail sentence and know the date of your release, you should plan to get released in the morning.
