If former President Donald Trump were facing the booking process that newly charged criminal defendants in Fulton County typically experience, he might find himself lingering for hours at the Rice Street jail waiting for his fingerprints and mug shot to be taken.
Even by the standards of local jails, the Fulton County jail on Rice Street has a reputation for especially deplorable conditions for inmates. Last month, the US Justice Department launched a civil rights investigation into living conditions, access to health care, violence against detainees and possible discrimination against those with psychiatric disabilities.
“Having them there is kind of a pain.” For Trump and other prominent defendants, the process will likely move much more swiftly. Some may coordinate with the sheriff’s office before they arrive to try to expedite the process. And in Trump’s case, the Secret Service would likely coordinate with the sheriff’s office ahead of Trump’s arrival. “If everybody’s there and ready to do their job, it probably takes three minutes to get a set of fingerprints,” Timmons said.
