Graysville Police Jail Policies and Procedures

Intake Procedures

They’ll put you in a holding cell. When the jail is busy, you may not be processed immediately.

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 discharged from jail.

They will let you make a phone call in order to get in touch with a family member, friend, or loved-on.

If they expect that you will make bail and be released quickly, you might be able to keep wearing your own clothes, but if you are not expected to make bail quickly you you will be given a jumpsuit.

Discharge Procedures

When you pay your bail, you will get discharged from jail. This process can take anywhere between 10 minutes to all day long. So, the quicker bail is posted, the sooner you can get out of jail. Also, how fast you get released might depend on whether you’ve been given a cash bond amount or if a judge has to determine how much to set your bail at. For a minor offense, you will simply be booked and then released on your recognizance without having to pay bail. When you have served out your jail sentence and have a release date, you should plan to get released at any time that day – but usually in the morning.

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.
