Intake Procedures

The intake procedure at the La Pointe Police Jail takes you through each of these steps:

You will get put in a holding cell. If the jail is really busy, you will have to wait, sometimes for many hours, before you get processed.

The first step is that you will answer some simple questions, like what is your full name, address, birthdate and an emergency contact, and they’ll also ask you about your medical and mental history. Next, you’ll be given an inmate ID 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.

You will then be allowed to make a telephone call in order to contact family, friends, or loved one.

If you are expected to be released quickly, they will let you wear your street clothes, otherwise you will be issued a jail jumpsuit.

Discharge Procedures

When you pay your bail, you will be allowed to go home after you get discharged. This process can take from 10 minutes to hours or even all day long. In other words the faster you can pay your bail, the sooner you will be released. Also, how fast you get released will depend on whether you have a cash bond or if a magistrate needs to determine the amount of bail to be set. For minor offenses, you will simply be booked and released on your own recognizance. If you have served a sentence in jail and know the release date, expect to get released between 9am and noon.

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 La Pointe Police Jail uses changes frequently, so it is best to call them at 715-747-6913 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 items include clothes, shoes, small snacks and other food items, as well as personal hygiene products like 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.

How To Save Money on Inmate Calls

Correctional facility phone service providers have exclusive contracts at each 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 La Pointe Police Jail. The prices are posted and there are at least two types of 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.
