Upon intake the booking process is completed along with an assessment to determine security needs, medical needs, mental health requirements, and housing assignment.

The Madison County Detention Center also provides several other services to inmates including basic needs in meals, laundry, and hygiene items, and programs including AA, counseling, religious programs, education, recreation, and opportunities to grow social and life skills.

Along with the efforts made by the staff, reduced recidivism is seen when inmates are able to stay in contact and supported by their family or friends who are not incarcerated so mail, phones, and visits are provided.

Visiting days are Monday to Friday 9am-11am, 1pm-5pm, and an additional evening block of time is provided Wednesday 7pm-9pm while Saturdays are 9am-11am and 1pm-3pm.

Mail is sent to:

Inmate's Full Name & Inmate ID#
Madison County Detention Center

Recent Bookings & Arrests

What is the booking process for the Madison County Detention Center?

After being arrested, the offender is brought to the Madison County Detention Center for booking, which is the detailed process of identifying, classifying, deciding on charges, and whether the person will either be released on their own recognizance, allowed to be released on bail, or moved into the jail until their court date.

The first thing every newly arrested person must do is close their mouth. Everything an offender says may be used against them, so the best thing to do is remain silent when questioned about the arrest and what led to it.

These are the steps of booking someone into the Madison County Detention Center:

  • Personal identification.
  • Mugshot(s).
  • Questions about medical history, mental health, drug and alcohol use, and gang affiliations.
  • Possible DNA.
  • Full body search.
  • Property forfeiture.
  • Free phone call.

If you have any questions about when you can pay an offender's bond and what the cost will be, call the facility at 208-372-5002.

Inmate Bail and Bonding

How do you pay bail for someone who has been arrested in Madison County?

When an offender is arrested and brought to the Madison County Detention Center in Rexburg for booking, there are several outcomes after being processed.

1. The offender will be released with no bail, promising to return on a specific date to appear before a judge in either Municipal or Madison County Court.
2. The offender is ordered to remain in jail until their court date.
3. The offender is allowed to be released after paying a specified bond or bail.  Call 208-372-5002 to get the exact amount.

The payment of an offender's bail or bond can take many shapes.

  • A cash bond is paid in full at the jail's bonding window or the clerk of court, usually by cash, cashier's check or money order, and many jails also take debit or credit cards through a lobby kiosk or an online bond vendor for an added fee; bring the inmate's full name and booking number, and the jail's number is 208-372-5002.
  • It can be paid using a bail company, licensed to do business in Madison County.
  • Many courts accept land or a home as bond collateral; the owner shows clear title and equity of at least the bond amount, often double, using a deed and a recent tax or appraisal value, and the court that set bail approves the property.
