  • The defendant’s name will be documented, as well as the crime they are being accused of.
  • They will have their mugshots taken from the front and the sides.
  • Any loose items that were on them at the time of their arrest will be confiscated, such as a cell phone and a wallet.
  • DNA samples will be taken.
  • There will be a health screening, which will include tests to look for transmittable diseases like tuberculosis that can put other inmates and officers in jail.
  • They will change out of their clothes and into an orange jumpsuit. Their clothes will be confiscated.
  • An officer will conduct a full body search of the defendant.
