Booking fee sparks police booking plan in Shafter
The Kern County booking fee of 80 per prisoner under SB 2557 prompts Shafter to consider options to avoid early releases. Police Chief Greg Greeson says the city will not release criminals, with two paths: speed arraignments within 24 hours or upgrade the holding facility to 48 hours. If needed, Shafter may pay the fee to prevent felon releases.
