The bail bond procedure in Fairfax, Stafford, Manassas, and other Virginia jails
In the state of Virginia when someone is arrested they are taken and transported to a police station and "booked". When a suspect is in the police station they are taken through this process where all their personal information is taken. Charges against the suspect are filed and the defendants information is taken by the Sheriffs department. At that time the police will run a background check for active warrants and a past history offenses. After that information has been collected the suspect will be finger printed and all their information will be entered into the computer database. Once inside the jail system photographs are taken and all property is removed from the inmate and placed into the property holding area. At this time the suspect will be tested for any intoxicants. Once this process is completed the suspect will be placed in a jail cell where they are allowed to make a phone call. The first few phone calls are free but are limited to about 1-2 minutes. After the inital few calls the inmate will be limited to only "collect" phone calls and this often makes it difficult for them to contact loved ones. Each of the jails in Fairfax, Stafford, Arlington, Alexandria, Manassas or Prince William have different phone call policy and we suggest you visit the web site where your loved one is detained to obtain more information.
