Intake Procedures

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

You will answer some basic questions, like what is your full legal name, home address, birthdate and contact person, and they’ll also ask you about your medical and psychological history. Next, you’ll be given an inmate ID number and your fingerprints will be taken. Then, all of your personal property will be taken away from you and will be stored until you are released.

You will then be allowed to make a telephone call in order to talk to family, friends, or loved one.

If you are expected to be released quickly, you might get to skip the jumpsuit and keep wearing your own clothes, otherwise you will be issued a jail jumpsuit.

Discharge Procedures

When you finally post bail, you will be allowed to leave jail. Getting discharged from jail takes anywhere from 30 minutes to quite a few hours.

How quickly you get discharged will depend on whether you’ve got a bond amount or if the judge needs to determine how much your bail will be.
