Intake Procedures

The intake procedure at the Cape Coral Police Jail is made up of the following steps:

You will get put in a holding cell. If the jail is really busy, you will have to wait, sometimes for many hours, before you get processed.

First you must answer a bunch of questions, like your legal name, your address, birthdate and contact person, and also, you will also be asked about your medical and psychological history. Next, you will be issued an inmate number and you will be fingerprinted. Then, all of your personal property will be taken away from you and stored until you get released.

You will then be allowed to make a telephone call so you can call a member of your family, friend, or loved one.

If they expect that you will make bail and be released quickly, you might get to keep wearing street clothes, if not you you will have to change into a jail uniform – the jumpsuit.

Discharge Procedures

Once bail has been posted, you will be discharged from jail. Getting discharged from jail takes from 30 minutes to hours or even all day long. In simple terms, the quicker you post bail, the quicker you can get released from jail. Also, how fast you get released will depend on if you’ve been given a cash bond amount or if a magistrate must determine your bail amount. For lesser charges, you will get booked and released on your own recognizance. When you have served your sentence and know the date of your release, expect to be released between 9am and noon.

You may be required to be on the inmate’s visitation list in order to send them money, and be aware that they may have a limit on how much you deposit at one time, like $200-300 at a time, or a limit on how much money may be in the inmate’s account at one time.

Some of the money transfer firms being used by various facilities include JPay, MoneyGram, AccessCorrections, OffenderConnect, Touchpayonline, JailATM, WU, smartdeposit, and tigercommissary.

If an inmate has fines or are required to pay restitution then they will be subject to garnishment of their commissary/trust account. If the inmate has a garnishment, then money to pay them will be taken from the inmate’s bank account. In some cases it may be a percentage or the entire amount of the obligation, but the actual percentage depends on the circumstances. We recommend that inmates talk to the counselor at their facility and try to find out. You can also try to make an arrangement so that only a percentage of your commissary funds are taken, instead of all your funds take at one time.

Commissary

How To Save Money on Inmate Calls

Correctional facility phone service companies have a monopoly at every facility that they operate, which means that they they control how much it costs to make phone calls. The profits these phone service providers make from all inmate phone calls are split with the facility, so there is no incentive for the jail or the counselors at the facility to show inmates or their family how to save money on inmate phone calls at the Cape Coral Police Jail. The rates are posted and there are at least two types of prices based on where the inmate is calling. These three factors will determine how much an inmate phone call will cost: Where you are located; Where your inmate is located, What type of phone number you have.

For example, if your inmate is in federal prison, if you get a new local number then this will decrease your inmate’s phone call rate from $.21 per minute to only $.06 per minute.
