Q: What is the booking process like at the Custer County Jail?

What is the booking process like at the Custer County 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 Custer County and other Oklahoma 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.

Q: What kind of questions are asked during booking?

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 with 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. If the offender remains in jail for any length of time, the Custer County Jail will allow a friend or family member to pick up the inmate's property if the offender gives written authorization for a named person to do so. To find out the days and times for picking up an inmate's property, and what you will need to bring to verify your identity, call the jail at 580-323-1616 during business hours.

Q: How long does the Custer County Jail booking process take?

How long does the Custer County 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. What happens after an offender is booked into the Custer County Jail? 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 Custer County Jail will provide a jail garment and slip-on shoes, a blanket, sheets, soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, and a towel.

Question 2

About the Custer County Jail

Answer

Arapaho, Oklahoma is the home of the Custer County Sheriff’s Office and the jail. The sheriff is responsible for the operation of the jail, and it is the location where newly arrested offenders are taken for their booking and processing and where they will remain until their bail is set and paid or they have their first appearance. It houses 128 detainees on a temporary basis. As inmates wait for their bail to be paid or to make their court appearance, they are allowed to make phone calls out, to accept visitors through the video visitation system at the jail or from home and can send and receive mail. Once an online account has been created at prodigyslaes.com, friends and family may add money to the commissary account of an inmate. This allows them to make purchases of necessary items, and some wanted items such as snacks. An account can also be made for phone calls and visits. All visits must be booked online before the visitation time, with visits occuring remotely 6am-10pm any day and onside being 8-11am and 12-4pm on weekdays, and phone calls can be made by inmates to a list of approved phone numbers. When inmates are released any funds that remain in their accounts are returned to a debit card or cheque.
