Haywood County Jail Policies and Procedures

Intake Procedures

The jail intake procedure at the Haywood County Jail is made up of each of these steps:

They’ll put you in a holding cell. When the jail is busy, it will take a while to get processed.

The first thing you will have to to is you must answer some basic questions, such as your legal name, street address, birth date and an emergency contact person, and they’ll also ask about your medical and mental history. Next, you’ll be given an inmate ID number and you will be fingerprinted. Then, any personal property you have will be taken from you and stored until you get released.

You will get to use the telephone to talk to family, friends, or loved one.

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

Discharge Procedures

When you finally post bail, you will get discharged from jail. Getting discharged from jail takes between 10 minutes to all day. So, the faster you can post bail, the faster you will be freed. It also depends on whether or not you’ve been given a cash bond amount or if the magistrate still needs to decide on your bail amount. For a minor offense, you will simply be booked and get released without having to post bail. When you have served your sentence and have a date of your release, you should plan to be discharged at any time that day – but usually in the morning.
