What does 'BOOKING' refer to in a jail context?

Issuing a ticket

Filing paperwork for a case

Booking prisoner into jail

In a jail context, 'booking' specifically refers to the process of officially recording an individual's arrest and admitting them into jail custody. This process typically involves documenting personal information such as the individual’s name, address, date of birth, and the circumstances of the arrest, as well as taking fingerprints and photographs. It serves as a crucial step in the legal system, establishing a legal record of the detainee and the charges they face, while also ensuring that all necessary documentation is completed for further legal processing. This is distinct from other activities such as issuing a ticket, filing paperwork for a case, or conducting an interrogation, which do not involve the immediate documentation and processing of an individual into jail custody.
