The NCSC also procured the services of the Pretrial Justice Institute (PJI) for additional support. The study focused on understanding the current pretrial practices in the County and planning for a Central Booking Facility in the Cuyahoga County Jail that could, if necessary, operate on a 24 hour, 7 day per week basis and encompass all appropriate processes from the arrestee's arrival at the jail to a judicial decision regarding either pretrial detention or release. This report addresses current pretrial decision-making procedures and various aspects of developing the central booking facility, including location and space planning within the existing County Jail structure; sequencing and target time-frames for processes and programs; and the next steps toward implementing central booking. A Project Steering Committee, made up of a broad cross-section of criminal justice system stakeholder agencies1 , provided general oversight for this project. Project Overview The primary urban center and county seat of Cuyahoga County, Ohio is the City of Cleveland. In addition to the City of Cleveland, the metropolitan area includes many suburban municipalities. The Court of Common Pleas is the general jurisdiction court which is responsible for hearing all felony criminal cases; the thirteen municipal courts2 have responsibility for hearing all misdemeanor cases and conducting probable cause/initial bond hearings for all felony cases arising within their respective jurisdictions. The focus of this project was to assess the feasibility of establishing a central booking operation while improving the process by which arrestees are booked in the Cuyahoga County and City of Cleveland (City) jails and release or detain decisions are made in the courts.
