Intake Procedures

The jail intake procedure at the Greenfield Police Jail takes you through the following steps:

You will be placed in a waiting area or cell. If there are a lot of arrests, you will have to wait a while to get processed.

The first step is that you will have to answer some questions, such as your full legal name, street address, birthdate and a contact person, and also, you will also be asked about your psychological and medical history. Next, you will be issued an inmate ID number and your fingerprints will be taken. Then, all personal property will be taken away from you and stored until you are discharged.

You will be allowed to make a phone call so you can call family, friends, or loved one.

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

Discharge Procedures

In simple terms, the quicker you post bail, the sooner you will get discharged from jail. Also, how fast you get released might depend on whether you have a cash bond amount or if a magistrate must decide on the bail amount. For minor charges, you will get booked and then released on your recognizance without having to pay bail. When you get to the end of your sentence and know the release date, you should expect to be discharged anywhere between the hours of 9am and 12pm.
