Upon admittance to this facility, offenders will be taken directly to the Booking Room, where his/her entry will be recorded. The Booking Officer will ask questions for our records and it is expected that the information that is requested will be given. Appropriate forms, fingerprints and photographs will be completed. Offenders refusing to be screened will be segregated.

As applicable, each offender will be thoroughly searched for weapons or contraband by a staff member of the same sex. Body cavity searches may be conducted when there is reasonable suspicion an inmate is concealing contraband in such body cavity. Cavity searches will only be performed by a physician or registered nurse, in a private location.

After being searched, the inmate will change into clean clothing provided by the facility. All personal effects will be inventoried and placed in the Property Room.
