From the patrol car to a cell
- Paperwork: the arresting officer turns over the charges, and Rockport staff assign the booking number that later goes on mail, deposits and the roster.
- Prints and photo: the new arrival is patted down, fingerprinted and photographed.
- Belongings: street clothes, wallets and phones are logged and bagged for return at release.
- Medical questions: under state jail standards, staff ask about health, mental health and suicide risk before housing anyone.
- First hearing: generally the Precinct 1 Justice of the Peace, acting as magistrate, explains the charges and rights, fixes the bail and notes any request for appointed counsel. This must happen inside 48 hours.
- Release or a bunk: people who can post the bail leave (Aransas County bail steps); everyone else is assigned housing and appears on the current inmates list.
Once housed, the person can set up phone calls through GettingOut, and family can add money through Access Corrections.
