What should you know about the booking process at Cabarrus County Detention Center?
Once arrested, the person is taken to Cabarrus County Detention Center for booking, a process that confirms identity, assesses charges, and determines if they will be released on their own recognizance, posted for bail, or held until court.
Staying silent is key during this process, as anything spoken can be used as evidence in court. It’s best to wait for legal counsel before responding to questions.
Steps involved in booking at Cabarrus County Detention Center include:
- Confirming identity.
- Taking mugshots for record.
- Medical, mental health, and substance history questioning.
- DNA collection if applicable.
- Comprehensive physical search.
- Seizing personal property.
- Access to a free phone call.

Steps to pay bail in Cabarrus County
After an arrest, individuals are brought to Cabarrus County Detention Center in Concord for processing. Following this, three possible outcomes exist:

2. The individual could be held in jail until their court date.
3. Bail or bond can be posted for release; for more information, contact 704-920-3058.
Bail payment can be handled through various means.
- Pay a cash bond in full at the bonding window inside the jail or at the clerk of court, by cash, cashier's check or money order; a lobby kiosk or online bond vendor often takes debit and credit cards for an extra fee, and you should bring the inmate's full name and booking number (the jail can be reached at 704-920-3058).
- Licensed bail bond agents in Cabarrus County are available for assistance.

There are FOUR options for putting money on an inmate's books:
Option 1 - Dropping Money at the Jail
Bring money to the jail in person.
Either the jail personnel will process the Inmate Account payment or you will use a Jail ATM self-serve kiosk in the lobbies that accepts cash, debit or credit cards.
Option 2 - Deposit Inmate Money Online
Cabarrus County Detention Center uses Jail ATM to process all online deposits to an inmate's account. The company charges you a small fee for doing so, but the fee probably isn't as much as gas and parking would cost to take it to the jail in person.
Option 3 - Mail the Inmate Deposit to the Jail
Mailing a deposit takes more time to process than the other methods but can be done if you live too far away to bring it in person and you don't have a debit/credit card for online deposits. Never send cash. Always send a Money Order from the US Post Office, a reputable bank or Western Union. Call the Cabarrus County Detention Center first as they may want you to do this online or at the jail kiosk instead.
Make the Money Order out to the payee the jail names (check with the jail first) and put their Inmate ID# in memo section of the Money Order. Never mail cash or a personal check.
