Tillman County Booking Process
Booking at the Tillman County jail follows a standard process. A photograph and fingerprints are collected first. The person's details and charges are logged into the system. Fingerprints get forwarded to the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation for the criminal history database. Bond is set according to the charges and a schedule maintained by the local court. A judge can change the bond at the initial hearing.
Medical screening is part of intake. Jail staff ask about health conditions and check for immediate needs. After processing, the inmate is placed in a housing area. Men and women are separated. The Tillman County jail is a small facility, so classification options are limited. If the jail gets full or a particular situation requires it, the Sheriff's Office can arrange transfers to nearby county jails. Jackson County and Comanche County both have larger facilities that have accepted overflow from smaller southwest Oklahoma jails in the past.
