Booking Process
Upon arrival at the Dixie County jail each inmate completes property intake (monies deposited, clothing and miscellaneous items inventoried), medical screening and the booking process.
Individuals that have been arrested and do not bond out of jail appear before a judge within the first twenty-four (24) hours of arrest. The judge informs each arrested person of his/her charge (s) and the bond amount. This first appearance can take place in the physical presence of the judge or by telephone.
Inmates that have completed the intake process will be assigned to general population. The housing of each inmate is assigned in accordance with their particular charge classification (felony or misdemeanor).

Inmates may send and receive letters as desired subject to limitations necessary to maintain order and security. Mail is delivered Monday thru Friday except on legal holidays. All mail except legal mail or other privileged mail is opened and inspected for contraband and money orders in the mail room. Legal and privileged mail will be opened in the presence of the inmate.
