Fayette County Booking Data Fields

When the Fayette County Jail processes a booking, several data points get recorded. The mugshot is taken first. Then staff log the person's full name, date of birth, race, sex, height, and weight. Aliases go in the file too. Each charge is listed with the offense code and level, whether it is a misdemeanor or felony.

Bond amounts show up next to the charges. Some people bond out the same day. Others wait for a magistrate hearing. The booking record also notes the arresting agency. That could be the Fayette County Sheriff's Office, La Grange PD, or a state trooper from a highway stop on I-10. Hold requests from other jurisdictions get flagged in the system.

All of this is public data. The record stays in the system after release. You can find old bookings through the same search tools that show current inmates. Fayette County keeps these files as part of the permanent arrest log.
