Intake Procedures

The jail intake procedure at the Nowata Police Jail is made up of these steps:

You will be placed in a holding cell. If the jail is busy, it will take a while to get processed.

First you have to answer some simple questions, such as your full legal name, street address, birth date and an emergency contact, and you will also be asked about your mental and medical history. Next, you’ll be given an inmate ID and you will be fingerprinted. Then, all of your personal property will be taken away from you and stored until you get released.

You will be allowed to use the telephone to call a member of your family, friend, or somebody else who can help you get out.

If you are expected to be released shortly, you might get to skip the jumpsuit and keep wearing your own clothes, if not you will be issued a jail jumpsuit.

Discharge Procedures

When you post bail, you will be allowed to leave jail. The discharge process can take between 10 minutes to many hours. In other words the quicker you post bail, the sooner you will get discharged from jail. Also, it can depend on whether or not you’ve got a cash bond or if the magistrate must determine how much your bail will be.

When you have served your sentence and are given a date of your release, plan to get discharged anywhere between the hours of 9am and 12pm.
