JAIL DOCKET
The State Court conducts Jail Dockets approximately every two weeks to help the Sheriff efficiently manage the County's scarce jail resources. To be eligible for the jail docket, a defendant must be facing State Court charges that could be disposed of at that hearing, AND NO OTHERS. That means NO PENDING Superior Court charges or probation revocations can be included. The Clerk will add any eligible defendant to the next jail docket up to seven days prior to the docket. On the seventh day, prior to the date of an impending jail docket, that jail docket is closed. Official notices are prepared and mailed to all appropriate parties. The seven days are necessary for the State to prepare its cases and for the defense attorneys to consult with their clients. As an example, assume a jail docket is scheduled for next Friday, the last opportunity for a defendant to be added is the close of the business this Thursday. Requests made this Friday or later will be accepted for the FOLLOWING Jail Docket, which will be at least two weeks away.

ELIGIBLE persons are placed on the jail docket by the Clerk at the request of the Sheriff, District Attorney, counsel for the defendant or by a family member, FOLLOWING THE SEVEN DAY RULE.. Requests received BY THE CLERK after the cutoff will be accepted but for the following jail docket.
