Intake Procedures

You must answer a bunch of questions, such as what is your full name, street address, birthdate and an emergency contact, and you will also be asked about your medical and psychological history. Next, you will be issued an inmate number and your fingerprints will be taken. Then, all of your personal property will be taken from you and will be stored until you are released.

They will let you use the phone so you can call a member of your family, friend, or loved one.

If you are expected to be released shortly, you might get to wear your own clothes, but if you are not expected to make bail quickly you will be issued a jail uniform.

Discharge Procedures

When you post bail, you will be allowed to leave jail. Getting discharged will take from 15 minutes to quite a few hours. So, the faster bail is posted, the quicker you will get discharged from jail. How quickly you get discharged depends on whether or not you’ve got a cash bond amount or if a judge must figure out how much to set your bail at. For lesser charges, you will be booked and released on your own recognizance. When you have served out your jail sentence and know the release date, you should plan to get discharged that morning.

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.
