When an officer comes in with a prisoner he will either walk them in using door #36, which enters directly into our sallyport, or pull up to the intercom and advise us of his  agency, prisoner, and  if he will be using the intoxilizer machine.  Our main control operator will then open the sallyport door and allow the officer to pull his vehicle in.

The Intoxilizer machine is used in DUI arrests to determine the amount of alcohol you have in your system.  This is also known as the Breathalizer or B.A. machine.

Prisoners are then brought into the Booking area to be processed by the arresting officer and Deputies. For safety and security reasons only three officers and their prisoners are allowed in the booking area at a time. Prisoner information is then booked in the computer and photographs are taken.

If a prisoner has drug or alcohol involvement they have to be placed in a detox cell for a minimum of five hours or a maximum of eight.  There are two big observation cells and six small observation cells in our detox area.  These cells are also used for medical and disiplinary observation.
