Intake Procedures

The jail intake procedure at the Isanti Police Jail takes you through each of the following steps:

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

First, you will have to answer a bunch of questions, such as what is your full legal name, address, birth date and a contact person, and they’ll also ask about your medical and psychological history. Next, you will be issued an inmate ID number 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.

You will get to make a phone call in order to get in touch with a member of your family, friend, or somebody else who can help you get out.

If you are expected to be released quickly, you might be allowed to keep wearing your own clothes, but if you are not expected to make bail quickly you will be issued a jail uniform – the jumpsuit.

Discharge Procedures

When you pay your bail, you will get released from jail. Getting discharged will take between 10 minutes to quite a few hours. In simple terms, the quicker you post bail, the sooner you will get released. How quickly you get discharged depends on if you’ve been given a cash bond or if a magistrate needs to determine the bail amount. For a minor charge, you will simply be booked and then released on your recognizance without having to pay bail. If you have served a sentence in jail and have a date of your release, you should expect to get discharged anywhere between the hours of 9am and 12pm.

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.
