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

First, you will answer some basic questions, such as your full name, street address, birthdate and an emergency contact, and they’ll also ask about your medical and psychological history. Next, you will be issued an inmate ID and you will get fingerprinted. Then, any personal property you have will be taken away from you and stored until you get discharged from jail.

You will then be allowed to make a telephone call so you can get in touch with a family member, friend, or loved-on.

If you are expected to be released shortly, you might be allowed to wear your street clothes, but if you are not expected to make bail quickly you will be issued a jail uniform – the jumpsuit.

Discharge Procedures

When you post bail, you will be discharged from jail. Getting discharged may take anywhere from 30 minutes to quite a few hours. In simple terms, the faster bail is posted, the quicker you will get discharged from jail. How quickly you get discharged will depend on whether or not you’ve been given a cash bond or if a magistrate still needs to determine the amount of bail to be set. For minor offenses, you will be booked and then released on your recognizance without having to pay bail. If you have served a sentence in jail and are given a release date, you should plan to be released at any time that day – but usually in the morning.

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. The maximum amount you are allowed in your account is $290 per month.

Guidelines For Sending Money To An Inmate

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 Merrillan Police Jail uses changes frequently, so it is best to call them at 715-333-2332 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 inmateâ€™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

The commissary is the Merrillan Police Jail store. You can purchase different things here, such as toiletries, snacks and writing supplies. Keep in mind that you will most likely need to buy things from the commissary on a daily basis, and any infractions will cause you to lose commissary privileges.

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

How To Save Money on Inmate Calls

Correctional facility phone service providers have a monopoly at each facility that they operate the phone services for, which means that they they control the prices. The money these phone service providers make from all of the phone calls that inmates make are shared 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 Merrillan Police Jail. The prices are posted and there are at least two different prices based on where the inmate is calling. The following 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.

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.

For state prisons and local jails learning how to lower your inmates phone charges is more difficult. ArrestedResources.com is an expert in keeping up with all of the changes that affect your inmate’s rate and in most cases is able to offer you an inmate calling number that will save you a lot of money on how much it costs you to call your inmate.
