Lansdowne Police Jail Policies and Procedures

Intake Procedures

The jail intake procedure at the Lansdowne Police Jail is made up of each of the following steps:

You will be placed in a holding cell. If the jail is really busy, you may not be processed immediately.

The first step is that you will have to answer some basic questions, like your legal name, home address, birth date and contact person, and they’ll also ask you about your medical and mental history. Next, you’ll be given an inmate ID number and you will be fingerprinted. Then, all personal property will be taken from you and stored until you get released.

Discharge Procedures

Once bail has been posted, you will get released from jail. Getting discharged takes anywhere between 15 minutes to all day long. In simple terms, the faster you can post bail, the faster you can get out of jail. Also, how fast you get released depends on whether you have a cash bond or if the magistrate still needs to determine how much to set your bail at. For a minor offense, you will be booked and released on your own recognizance. When you get to the end of your sentence and know the release date, you should expect to be discharged at any time that day – but usually in the 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.
