How Murfreesboro Jail Roster Work
When someone is arrested in Murfreesboro, the booking process follows a standard sequence. The arresting officer transports the person to the Adult Detention Center. At intake, jail staff record the person's name, date of birth, address, and physical description. Fingerprints and a booking photo are taken. The charges from the arrest are entered into the system along with the arresting agency and officer's name.
Bond is set based on the charges. Some offenses have preset bond amounts. Others require a judge to set bail. The jail roster record captures all of this data in one record. That record stays in the Rutherford County system and becomes part of the public record. The entire process from arrest to completed booking can take several hours depending on how busy the jail is. Once the booking is done, the record appears in the inmate search tool.
