Crawford Police Jail Policies and Procedures

Intake Procedures

The intake process at the Crawford Police Jail includes these steps:

You will get put in a holding cell. If there are a lot of arrests, you will have to wait, sometimes for many hours, before you get processed.

The first step is that you must answer a bunch of questions, like your full legal name, home address, birth date and contact person, and they’ll also ask about your medical and psychological history. Next, you will be issued an inmate ID and you will get fingerprinted. Then, all personal property will be taken away from you and stored until you get released from jail.

You will get to make a telephone call in order to contact family, friends, or loved one.

If you think you will get released quickly, you might be able to keep wearing street clothes, if not you you will be given a jumpsuit.

Discharge Procedures

When you pay your bail, you will get released from jail. This process may take between 15 minutes to quite a few hours. In other words the quicker you post bail, the faster you can get out of jail. How quickly you get discharged can depend on whether or not you’ve got a bond amount or if the judge has to decide on how much to set your bail at. For minor offenses, you will simply be booked and get released without having to post bail. If you have served a sentence in jail and know the release date, you should expect to get released at any time that day – but usually in the morning.
