Hampstead Police Jail Policies and Procedures

Intake Procedures

The intake process at the Hampstead Police Jail includes each of these steps:

They’ll put you in a holding cell. If there are a lot of arrests, it will take a while to get processed.

The first step is that you must answer some basic questions, such as what is your legal name, street address, birthdate and an emergency contact, and you will also be asked about your psychological and medical history. Next, you will be issued an inmate ID and your fingerprints will be taken. Then, any personal property you have will be taken away from you and stored until you get released.

You will be allowed to make a phone call to call family, friends, or loved one.

If you are expected to be released quickly, you might be able to wear your street clothes, but if you are not expected to make bail quickly you you will have to change into a jumpsuit.

Discharge Procedures

When you post bail, you will be discharged from jail. Getting discharged from jail may take between 10 minutes to many hours. Or, simply, the faster you can pay your bail, the faster you will be released. It also can depend on if you have a cash bond or if the judge still needs to figure out your bail amount. For a minor offense, you will get booked and get released without having to post bail. When you get to the end of your sentence and have a discharge date, you should expect to get discharged in the morning.

Money & Commissary

The procedure to send money to someone in jail might change, so you should double check the Hampstead Police Jail site before you send funds to an inmate there.

How To Send Money to an Inmate at Hampstead Police Jail

You will have your own ‘bank account’ while in jail. This money is used to purchase items from the Commissary. 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. 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 Hampstead Police Jail uses changes frequently, so it is best to call them at 410-239-8954 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 Hampstead Police Jail store. Inmates can buy a number of things here, such as toiletries, snacks and writing supplies. Keep in mind that you will most likely want to buy things from the commissary every day, and any infractions will cause you to lose commissary privileges.

The Commissary will sell a selection of different products that the inmate can buy if they have money in their account. These products include clothes, shoes, small snacks and other food items, as well as hygiene products including soap, shampoo, and disposable razors for shaving. The commissary also sells other things like books and magazines, televisions and radios, playing cards, headphones, MP3 players, and electronic tablets. They also sell everything need to write home to family, friends, and loved ones: paper, envelopes, and stamps. If an inmate is indigent and cannot afford paper and stamps, the jail will provide these things to an inmate who has not had any money in their commissary account for at least 30 days.

Phone Calls & Phone Usage Policy

All phone calls from the Hampstead Police Jail are made through a jail approved pre-paid phone account or phone card . These phone calls are typically more expensive than phone calls made outside of jail. There is no limit to when and how often you can use the phone, but inmates must keep in mind that every inmate wants to use the phone too, so they can call their family. If you are disciplined for an infraction, your ability to use the phone may be limited or totally denied.

How To Save Money on Inmate Calls

Correctional facility phone service companies have a monopoly at each facility that they operate the phone services for, which means that they they control how much it costs to make phone calls. The profits off of all of the inmate phone calls 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 Hampstead 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 the other correctional facilities like state prisons, and local and county jails finding out 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 calling rate and in most cases is able to offer you an inmate calling number that will save you significantly on calling your inmate. In some cases, we will not be able to save you money on your inmate calls, and therefore we will not offer you an inmate calling number. In cases like this, the jail or prison has set their phone rates in a way that nobody will be able to save you money.
