How Recent Bookings Are Processed
Every arrest in Lebanon County follows the same path. An officer makes the arrest. The person is brought to the Lebanon County Correctional Facility. Staff handle the rest of the intake process.
At the facility, the person is searched and their belongings are stored. Staff take a photo and fingerprints. The charges are entered along with any bail information. A booking number is created. This number connects the jail record to the court system. Within hours, the person appears before a magisterial district judge for a preliminary arraignment. The judge reviews charges and sets bail for Lebanon County recent bookings cases.
After arraignment, the case moves to the Lebanon County Court of Common Pleas if charges are held at the preliminary hearing. The court record tracks the case from that point forward. All of this stems from the original booking at the correctional facility. Lebanon County handles hundreds of bookings each year from cities, boroughs, and townships across the county.
Note: Bail amounts set at arraignment can change later if the court holds a bail review hearing in Lebanon County.
