The first thing you will have to to is you will answer a bunch of questions, like your full name, address, birth date and contact person, and also, 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 personal property will get taken away from you and stored until you are discharged.

If you are expected to be released quickly, they will let you keep wearing your own clothes, otherwise you will be issued a jumpsuit.

Discharge Procedures

When you pay your bail, you will get discharged from jail. Getting discharged from jail may take anywhere from 30 minutes to hours or even all day long. So, the quicker bail is posted, the quicker you can get released from jail.
