What happens during booking at Crook County Detention Facility?

After arrest, individuals are processed at Crook County Detention Facility, where they undergo a series of steps that determine their charges and whether they’ll be released on their own recognizance, allowed to post bail, or held until their court date.

The first rule for anyone arrested is to remain silent. Anything they say can be used in court, so it’s best to speak only to an attorney about the incident.

Here are the typical stages of the booking process at Crook County Detention Facility:

  • Verifying the person’s identity.
  • Taking mugshots.
  • Questions regarding medical and mental health history, along with drug and gang affiliations.
  • Collecting DNA if necessary.
  • Conducting a physical search.
  • Confiscating personal belongings.
  • Providing a phone call.

How do you post bail in Crook County?

If someone is taken to Crook County Detention Facility in Sundance for booking, the next steps depend on their case:

3. They may post a bail or bond for release. To find out the exact bail amount, call 307-283-1225.
