About the Cottage Grove Municipal Jail

The City of Cottage Grove Oregon is the location for the Cottage Grove Municipal Jail. Located within the police department are the 8 double occupancy cells that make up the jail, along with two temporary holding cells. Most detainees in this facility are awaiting their arraignment and bail, though some may serve their sentence here if it is a short sentence. Often detainees are being held while they await transport to another facility. Each cell is monitored for both video and audio with the dispatcher on duty having access to the feeds at their station. Dispatchers are also responsible for setting up and instigating hourly checks to ensure the safety and security of the inmates, as well as complete a log that tracks these actions daily. Staff cooks and provides three meals each day which have been approved by a dietician to meet the nutritional needs of the inmates. They are also provided reading materials from the on site library, and due to the low demand on the spaces, most inmates will find themselves in a double occupancy cell alone, leaving them more space and privacy than they would if the building was at full capacity. Visitation is encouraged, and inmates are allowed to have visitors on Thursdays between the hours of 6:30 pm and 9 pm for 30 minutes. The timing of these visits depends on the availability of an officer to supervise them, and may be cancelled for any behavior concerns. Court dates occur on Thursdays with arraignments occurring at 8:30 am. The facility is located at 400 E Main St in Cottage Grove. To determine if someone is being held in custody at the location they can be reached via phone at (541)942-3346. The on staff dispatcher is also responsible for answering 911 calls and dispatching needed resources. A dispatcher is available around the clock throughout the year.

Cottage Grove Municipal Jail Booking Roster

What happens during booking in Lane County?

After being arrested and taken into custody, and after being read their Miranda Rights, an offender will next be transported to the local police or department or the Sheriff’s Department in Lane County for booking.

Booking is very involved and requires multiple steps in the process, however, keep in mind that most attorneys will advise that an offender remain silent and not offer any additional information about the crime they have been arrested for because anything they do say may be recorded and may very well be used against them in court.

What is the booking process like at the Cottage Grove Municipal Jail?

Booking includes having their photo (mugshot) and fingerprints taken, as well as being asked a lot of questions about their personal history and state of mind. If it’s a serious felony, their DNA may also be taken. They will also be checked for warrants in Lane County and other Oregon and USA jurisdictions.

If the offender was arrested for a DUI offense, and has refused a breathalyzer test, they may also be forced to have blood drawn by a doctor or nurse.

It is also very likely that the offender will undergo a humiliating full body search while in the nude. This includes bending over, spreading their cheeks in the direction of an officer, and coughing. They will also be walked through a metal detector or x-ray machine, like those used at an airport.

What kind of questions are asked during booking?

The arresting jurisdiction will ask about gang affiliations, tattoos, medical conditions, prescribed medication they are taking, recreational drugs they are on or addicted to, allergies, if they are suicidal, and other relevant information that will help with determining their cell assignment and special needs.

What happens to an offender’s personal property during booking?

During the arrest and booking process an offender will also have all their personal property confiscated and held for either their release from jail, or with the offender’s approval, released to a friend or family member.

Personal property includes the clothing they are wearing, money, wallets, purses, cell phones, jewelry, body rings, earrings, watches, and even glasses if they are deemed a security risk. If they are allowed to keep their shoes or sneakers, the laces are removed.

What happens after booking?

At this point the offender will be allowed to make a free phone call to a person of their choice to notify them of their arrest, and/or arrange a bond or bail for their release.

If the offender is being detained and housed while awaiting arraignment, the Cottage Grove Municipal Jail will provide a jail garment and slip-on shoes, a blanket, sheets, soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, and a towel.

Often, before they are dressed in the jail outfit and brought to their housing location, they will be forced to take a shower and undergo a disinfectant treatment for body and hair lice, scabies or other pests that may be residing on their person.

How long does the Cottage Grove Municipal Jail Booking process take?

Booking can take anywhere from an hour to 24 hours or more. It all depends on the number of people that are awaiting processing, the number of staff on duty at the time, and the behavior of the offender.

If the offender is heavily intoxicated and/or violent, the Booking Officer may decide to stick the offender in a holding cell for several hours until they become more manageable.

Inmate Bail and Bonding

The Lane County Sheriff recommends that you use a bail bond agent licensed to do business in Lane County.

You can pay a cash bond yourself, or use your home in Lane County, or in some cases the state of Oregon, but the benefit of using a bail bond agent is that they take responsibility for making sure the inmate shows up for court in Lane County, and if they don't, then they take the financial responsibility.
The typical fee for a bond will be between 10-20% of the bail amount; usually 15%. So if an offender has a bail of $10,000.00, their bond will be $1500.00.

Call 503-682-4263 to find out the exact bond (plus other fees) amount, or look it up online by looking up the information on the Lane County inmate locator.

Lane County Bail Bond Information

Because Lane County and Oregon can change their bail bond procedures, it is always best to call either the Cottage Grove Municipal Jail at 503-682-4263, or the court in the jurisdiction (i.e. Municipal Court, District Court, etc.) where the offender was charged, and do this right after an arrestee has been booked.

Ask the staff at the Cottage Grove Municipal Jail or the Lane County Court Clerk these specific questions:

Is the defendant eligible for bail or a bond?
How much will the bail or bond be, and what are the additional fees?
Where do I go to pay it?
Are there any days or times of the day or night when I cannot post bail?
What types of payment are allowed? Cash? Money order? Credit card? What types of credit cards? Property or other collateral? Surety bonds?
Do I have to use a bail or bond agent?

If you feel the bail is too high and you wish to get it reduced, contact a lawyer or the defendant's public defender and get them to look into what they can do to get a bail reduction. The sooner you get working on this the quicker you will get your loved one released.

This entire process will go smoother and faster with a criminal attorney or bail agent handling it for you.
