Custody Transactions
Jail intake fingerprint cards are accepted through electronic submissions using live scan or card scan equipment. The submission type that should be used is “JL” and not “AR” for arrest. The intake card should include the charge statute and literal, and the length of sentence to be served.
Jail intake cards that are contributed by mail should indicate “JAIL INTAKE” in the “additional information” or “disposition” field. The intake card should include the charge statute and literal, and the length of sentence to be served.
Jail intake cards for individuals that are being held for or turned over to another Wisconsin agency should not be submitted. The originating agency should be contributing the arrest record.
Those agencies booking subjects arrested on warrants for other states (UCEA), or on federal charges should contribute a fingerprint card to CIB as a jail intake (submission type “JL”) Please include the charge, and the agency the individual is being turned over to.
Individuals being housed temporarily or in transit for federal agencies may also be contributed to the Crime Information Bureau.
When submitting disposition or sentencing information on jail intake cards, it is important to remember that the disposition date reported cannot occur prior to the arrest date. Either the original arrest date should be reported with the date of the court sentence or the disposition date reported on the submission should be the same as the date of jail intake as indicated in the date of arrest field.
