Lincoln County Jail Policies and Procedures

Intake Procedures

The intake procedure at the Lincoln County Jail is made up of the following steps:

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

You will have to answer some basic questions, like what is your full legal name, home address, date of birth and an emergency contact, and they’ll also ask you about your psychological and medical history. Next, you’ll be given an inmate number and you will be fingerprinted. Then, all of your personal property will get taken away from you and stored until you get released.

They will allow you to make a phone call in order to contact a member of your family, friend, or loved one.

If you think you will get released quickly, they will let you wear your own clothes, but if you are not expected to make bail quickly you you will have to wear a jail issued jumpsuit.

Discharge Procedures

When you post bail, you will be allowed to go home after you get discharged. The discharge process will take anywhere from 15 minutes to hours or even all day long. So, the faster bail is posted, the quicker you will get out of jail. Also, how fast you get released depends on whether or not you’ve got a bond amount or if a magistrate must determine your bail amount. For minor offenses, you will get booked and then released on your recognizance without having to pay bail. When you have served out your jail sentence and have a discharge date, expect to get released that morning.
