Cleveland Police Jail Policies and Procedures

Intake Procedures

The jail intake procedure at the Cleveland Police Jail includes each of these steps:

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

The first thing you will have to to is you must answer some basic questions, such as your full name, your address, birthdate and an emergency contact person, and they’ll also ask about your psychological and medical history. Next, you’ll be given an inmate number and your fingerprints will be taken. Then, all personal property will get taken away from you and stored until you are discharged.

You will get to make a phone call in order to talk to family, friends, or loved one.

If they expect that you will make bail and be released quickly, you will be allowed to skip the jumpsuit and keep wearing your own clothes, if not you will be issued a jail uniform.

Discharge Procedures

When you finally post bail, you will be allowed to go home after you get discharged. Getting discharged from jail takes anywhere from 10 minutes to all day long. In simple terms, the faster bail is posted, the quicker you can get released from jail. It also can depend on whether or not you’ve got a cash bond amount or if the judge has to decide on how much your bail will be. For minor charges, you will get booked and get released without having to post bail. When you have served out your jail sentence and know the release date, expect to get discharged in the morning.

Family and friends can deposit money into this account for you, and any money you earn while in prison will also be deposited into your account. Outside money can be paid in to your account via a money order, cash or check. If someone sends a check or money order, make sure that they write your inmate ID on it.

Before you send any money you should find out what online money transfer companies the jail your inmate is incarcerated in uses. The exact method that the Cleveland Police Jail uses changes frequently, so it is best to call them at 704-278-1900 to get the current payment method.

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.

These products include clothes, shoes, small snacks and other food items, as well as hygiene products including soap, shampoo, and disposable razors for shaving.

These three things 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.
