If you appear in court out of custody and are ordered released, you will still have to go through the "booking" process. This can be done immediately after the detention hearing and it typically takes 15 minutes. If appeared in court following an arrest, you may be released to the custody of Probation Department or the Marshal’s cellblock, both of which are located in the federal courthouse. However, if you were brought to court from the Federal Detention Center in Seatac, you may be brought back to the Federal Detention Center and released from there.
