Defendant must report on the date and time as instructed by the
court or Judicial Reporting Officer.
Defendant must bring picture identification and a copy of the court
judgement (if possessing it) with him/her and present them to the
Booking Officer when reporting.
Defendant must be drug and alcohol free. You will be given a breath
test upon arrival.
Do not bring any item which is or could be mistaken for a weapon
(e.g. pocket knife, leatherman, hand gun).
Do not bring any tobacco, tobacco products, or tobacco
paraphernalia.
Do not leave a car in the K.C.C. parking lot; it will be towed
away.
Do not bring property such as jewelry, magazines, books,
toiletries. You should only bring the clothes you are wearing, and
any cash money.
The defendant may bring money to put in a prisoner account for
"commissary" purchases. Commissary is ordered on
Wednesday and delivered on the following Sunday.
If the defendant fails to report as ordered, a warrant for his/her
arrest may be issued and, among other things, he/she may be
required to serve any suspended time.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Upon arrival at the facility you will be directed, from the front
door, to proceed to the booking entrance gate. This is a restricted
access road. You may NOT drive your vehicle on this road. You will
be visually inspected by an officer and you will be "pat" searched.
If accepted at this point you will be escorted to the booking
office.
Medical staff, if available, or corrections staff will ask you a
series of medical questions. Some of the questions may seem
personal and out of place but are required to be asked and
answered. If you pass the initial medical screening you will then
be booked into the facility. You will be asked a series of
identification and notification questions, possibly fingerprinted,
and photographed.
After the booking procedures are completed you may be taken to a
room where you will be strip searched and issued jail clothing. You
will then be instructed on your housing assignment. This housing
assignment could be anywhere in the facility depending on your
status. After placement in the housing area you will be allowed
phone calls.
It is possible, if you meet the criteria, that you may be moved to
another facility. Often short term misdemeanors are moved to
contract facilities within the state. Felons and long term
misdemeanants may be moved to facilities within or out of the
State.
You may be eligible to serve your sentence at your home under the Electronic Monitoring Program. For more information, back up to the Department of Corrections page and look under Quick Links for Electronic Monitoring. If you meet the criteria listed there, call KCC and you can receive EM information specific to Ketchikan.
DURING YOUR STAY
You are responsible to follow the rules while you are being held in
custody. Violation of the rules could result in additional time
being served. You may receive visitors during scheduled visiting
hours. You will be allowed to place phone calls. You may also send
and receive mail.
