Intake Procedures

Next, you’ll be given an inmate ID and your fingerprints will be taken. Then, all personal property will be taken away from you and will be stored until you are released.

If they expect that you will make bail and be released quickly, you might get to skip the jumpsuit and keep wearing your own clothes, but if you are not expected to make bail quickly you you will have to wear a jail jumpsuit.

Discharge Procedures

Once bail has been posted, you will be allowed to leave jail. The discharge process takes anywhere from 10 minutes to all day.
