What to do if You’re Arrested
When a person is arrested there are steps that have to occur from the point of the arrest to the time you are eligible for bail. The arresting officer will need to complete some paperwork prior to leaving the scene with a prisoner. They will then drive to the jail which can take a few minutes or a long time depending on the size of the county and jail location. Upon being brought into the jail a correctional officer will begin the book-in process and advise the arrestee to remain in a certain location. When they are ready, this process can take a while depending on how many prisoners other officers are bringing into the jail, they will fingerprint and photograph you. When the intake paperwork is complete the jail officer will then advise the inmate what the specific charges are and what the bond amount is. Then, and only then, will you be able to use the phone to try and secure your bail.
