This classification process involves assessing various risk factors, which may include, but are not limited to: (A) the nature of their current offense or conviction; (B) their history of previous offenses; (C) any past incidents of escape; (D) their disciplinary record within the institution; (E) prior convictions; (F) substance abuse issues related to alcohol and/or drugs; and (G) stability factors.
It is important to note that the classification criteria do not consider race, ethnicity, or religious preference as determining factors. These elements are not taken into account when determining the appropriate housing and management of inmates within the facility. The focus is solely on individual risk factors and the overall goal of maintaining a safe and secure environment while ensuring the well-being and successful rehabilitation of inmates.

Once arrested, the person is taken to Jones County Jail 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.

Steps involved in booking at Jones County Jail include:
- Confirming identity.
- Taking mugshots for record.
- Medical, mental health, and substance history questioning.
- DNA collection if applicable.
- Comprehensive physical search.

Steps to pay bail in Jones County
After an arrest, individuals are brought to Jones County Jail in Anson for processing. Following this, three possible outcomes exist:
1. The individual may be released without posting bail, with a promise to appear in court.
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 325-823-3201.
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 325-823-3201).
- Licensed bail bond agents in Jones County are available for assistance.
- Land or a home can often serve as bond collateral: the owner provides a deed and a recent tax or appraisal value showing clear title and equity of at least the bond amount, commonly double, and the court that set bail approves the pledge.
