Sebastian Police Jail Policies and Procedures

Intake Procedures

The jail intake procedure at the Sebastian Police Jail takes you through each of these steps:

They’ll put you in a holding cell. When the jail is busy, it will take a while to get processed.

First you will have to answer a bunch of questions, such as your legal name, your address, birthdate and a contact person, and they’ll also ask you about your mental and medical history. Next, you will be issued an inmate ID number and your fingerprints will be taken. Then, all of your personal property will be taken away from you and stored until you get released.

You will then be allowed to make a telephone call so you can call a member of your family, friend, or somebody else who can help you get out.

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 have to wear a jail jumpsuit.

Discharge Procedures

Once bail has been posted, you will be discharged from jail. The discharge process takes anywhere between 30 minutes to all day long. Or, simply, the faster you post bail, the sooner you will get out of jail. Also, it might depend on if you’ve been given a cash bond amount or if a judge has to decide on how much to set your bail at. For minor offenses, you will simply be booked and then released on your recognizance without having to pay bail. When you get to the end of your sentence and have a release date, you should plan to get discharged at any time that day – but usually in the 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 Sebastian Police Jail uses changes frequently, so it is best to call them at 772-589-5233 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 personal hygiene products such as 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 are the exclusive phone provider for, which means that they get to set the prices.

The rates are posted and there are at least two pricing tiers 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.
