Watertown Police Jail Policies and Procedures

Intake Procedures

The jail intake process at the Watertown Police Jail is made up of the following steps:

You will be placed in a holding cell. If there are a lot of arrests, you will have to wait, sometimes for many hours, before you get processed.

First you will have to answer some questions, such as what is your full legal name, your address, birthdate and an emergency contact, and they’ll also ask about your psychological and medical history. Next, you will be issued an inmate ID number and you will get fingerprinted. Then, all of your personal property will be taken away from you and stored until you get released from jail.

They will let you make a phone call to talk to a family member, friend, or loved-on.

If they expect that you will make bail and be released quickly, you might get 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. This process takes between 30 minutes to quite a few hours. So, the faster you post bail, the sooner you will get released. Also, it will depend on whether you’ve got a cash bond or if a magistrate has to determine how much to set your bail at. For a minor offense, you will simply be booked and get released without having to post bail. When you have served out your jail sentence and are given a discharge date, you should expect to be discharged that morning.

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 Watertown Police Jail uses changes frequently, so it is best to call them at 615-237-3225 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.

The commissary is the Watertown Police Jail store. Inmates can buy several different things here, like toiletries, snacks and writing supplies. Remember that you will probably want to buy things from the commissary every day, and any infractions will get that privilege taken away from you.

These items include clothes, shoes, small snacks and other food items, in addition to 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 every facility that they have a contract with, which means that they they control how much it costs to make phone calls. The profits from all of the phone calls that inmates make 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 Watertown Police Jail. The rates are posted and there are at least two types of prices based on where the inmate is calling. The following three factors will determine the cost of an inmate phone call: 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.
