__The Arrest Process __ University of Wyoming English 4010-42

= __**Summary**__ = A group from the University of Wyoming English 4010-42 class, created “The Arrest Process” wiki to function as a guide to interested class members and the public about the process of an arrest in the criminal justice system. This process begins with a legitimate reason for the arrest. Next, the officer places a suspect in custody. The suspect is usually handcuffed and placed into the back seat of a police vehicle, then transported to a local detention center. At the detention center, jail officers perform an intake interview and book the arrestee. Once the intake and booking process is finished, the suspect is taken to a holding cell to await an initial hearing. In this hearing the arrestee discovers the terms of his or her release. If these terms are completed, the suspect is released until trial, and if not, detained until trial.
