Northvale Police Jail Policies and Procedures

Intake Procedures

The jail intake process at the Northvale Police Jail is made up of each of these steps:

You will get put in a holding cell. If the jail is really busy, you will have to wait a while to get processed.

The first step is that you will answer a number of questions, such as your full legal name, street address, birth date and an emergency contact person, and they’ll also ask you about your mental and medical history. Next, you’ll be given an inmate ID number and you will be fingerprinted. Then, any personal property you have will be taken from you and stored until you get released from jail.

You will then be allowed to use the telephone in order to call family, friends, or loved one.

If they expect that you will make bail and be released quickly, you might be able to wear your own clothes, if not you you will be given a jail uniform – the jumpsuit.

Discharge Procedures

When you post bail, you will be allowed to leave jail. Getting discharged will take between 30 minutes to hours or even all day long. In simple terms, the faster you can pay your bail, the sooner you will get discharged from jail. Also, it can depend on whether or not you’ve been given a bond amount or if a magistrate must figure out how much to set your bail at. 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 know the discharge date, you should plan to get discharged at any time that day – but usually in the morning.

Money & Commissary

The rules for sending funds to inmates might change, so you should double check the Northvale Police Jail site before you send any money.

How To Send Money to an Inmate at Northvale 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 Northvale Police Jail uses changes frequently, so it is best to call them at 201-768-5900 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 Northvale Police Jail store. An inmate can purchase different things here, like personal items, food, and things for writing. Remember that you will most likely want to use the commissary daily, and any infractions will cause you to lose commissary privileges.

The Commissary will sell an assortment of different products that the inmate can purchase if they have money in their account. These items include clothes, shoes, small snacks and other food items, as well as hygiene products such as 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

The only phone calls that Northvale Police Jail inmates are allowed to make are collect calls or through a pre-paid phone account . Phone calls made in jail are usually pricier than phone calls made outside of jail. Inmates are able to make phone calls, with restrictions on when and how often you can use the phone, but you should keep in mind that every inmate wants to use the phone too, so they can call their family. If you break the rules and are disciplined, an inmate’s ability to use the phone might get reduced or eliminated altogether.

How To Save Money on Inmate Calls

Correctional facility phone service providers have a monopoly at each facility that they operate, which means that they get to set the prices. The money these phone service providers make from all 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 Northvale Police Jail. The rates are posted and there are at least two different prices based on where the inmate is calling. The following 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.

For state prisons and local jails figuring out how to decrease your inmates phone charges can be 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 inmate phone calls. In some cases, we won’t be able to save you money on your inmate calls, and therefore we will not offer you an inmate calling number. In these cases, the jail or prison has set their phone call rates so high that nobody can save you money.
