Fulton Police Jail Policies and Procedures

Intake Procedures

The jail intake process at the Fulton Police Jail is made up of these steps:

They’ll put you in a holding cell. If the jail is busy, you will have to wait a while to get processed.

The first step is that you will answer some basic questions, like your full legal name, home address, birthdate and a contact person, and they’ll also ask about your psychological and medical history. Next, you’ll be given an inmate number and your fingerprints will be taken. Then, all personal property will be taken from you and stored until you get discharged from jail.

They will allow you to use the phone to call family, friends, or loved one.

If you are expected to be released shortly, you might be able to keep wearing your own clothes, but if you are not expected to make bail quickly you will be issued a jumpsuit.

Discharge Procedures

Once you are able to post bail, you will be allowed to go home after you get discharged. Getting discharged from jail can take from 10 minutes to hours or even all day long. Or, simply, the quicker you post bail, the faster you will get discharged from jail. How quickly you get discharged might depend on whether you’ve been given a bond amount or if the judge still needs to figure out how much to set your bail at. For a minor offense, you will get booked and released on your own recognizance. When you have served your sentence and are given a date of your release, plan to get released in the morning.
