Today, Judge Davidian and i took a break from our normal duties at the courthouse and made a trip to the Wake County Detention Center on Hammond Road. This facility was fairly new, and Judge Davidian had not yet visited, so we thought it would be fun and interesting for both of us. It was really interesting to see how the individual prisoners were processed. The Magistrates, which are judges who work at the jail, would determine whether or not an officer had probable cause of a crime happening. Then, the Magistrate would assign a court date for first appearance and a bond that they could be released on. We got to see the CCBI location inside the jail as well, and they were very high tech and even had a fully digital fingerprint database.
