Woodland Police Jail Policies and Procedures

Intake Procedures

The intake process at the Woodland Police Jail takes you through these steps:

You will be placed in a waiting area or cell. If the jail is busy, you may not be processed immediately.

First, you will answer some simple questions, such as your legal name, street address, date of birth and an emergency contact, and they’ll also ask you about your medical and mental history. Next, you will be issued an inmate ID and you will be fingerprinted. Then, any personal property you have will get taken away from you and stored until you get discharged from jail.

You will be allowed to use the telephone to talk to a member of your family, friend, or loved one.

If you think you will get released quickly, you might be allowed to keep wearing street clothes, but if you are not expected to make bail quickly you you will have to wear a jail uniform – the jumpsuit.

Discharge Procedures

Once bail has been posted, you will be discharged from jail. This process can take between 15 minutes to quite a few hours. Or, simply, the quicker you post bail, the faster you will get let go. How quickly you get discharged can depend on whether you’ve been given a bond amount or if a magistrate still needs to decide on how much to set your bail at. For a minor charge, you will simply be booked and get released without having to post bail. If you have served a sentence in jail and have a date of your release, you should expect to get discharged at any time that day – but usually in the morning.

How To Send Money to an Inmate at Woodland 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 Woodland Police Jail uses changes frequently, so it is best to call them at 360-225-6965 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.

Commissary

The commissary is the Woodland Police Jail store. You can purchase different things here, such as toiletries, snacks and writing supplies. Remember that you will probably want to use the commissary on a daily basis, and any infractions will cause you to lose commissary privileges.

The Commissary will sell an assortment of different products that the inmate can buy if they have enough money in their trust account. These products include clothes, shoes, small snacks and other food items, as well as 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 companies have a monopoly at every facility that they have a contract with, which means that they get to set the prices. 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 Woodland 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.
