North Vernon Police Jail Policies and Procedures

Intake Procedures

The intake process at the North Vernon Police Jail takes you through these steps:

They’ll put you in a holding cell. If there are a lot of arrests, you may not be processed immediately.

You will have to answer some basic questions, such as your full legal name, your address, date of birth and an emergency contact, and they’ll also ask about your psychological and medical history. Next, you will be issued an inmate ID and your fingerprints will be taken. Then, any personal property you have will get taken away from you and stored until you get released.

You will be allowed to make a telephone call so you can get in touch with a family member, friend, or loved-on.

If you think you will get released quickly, they will let you skip the jumpsuit and keep wearing 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 go home after you get discharged. Getting discharged from jail takes from 30 minutes to many hours. In other words the quicker you post bail, the quicker you will get out of jail. It also can depend on whether or not 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 get released without having to post bail. If you have served a sentence in jail and know the date of your release, you should plan to get released in the morning.
