Next, you’ll be given an inmate ID number and your fingerprints will be taken. Then, all personal property will be taken from you and stored until you get 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, otherwise you will be issued a jail uniform – the jumpsuit.

Discharge Procedures
