Hartford Police Jail Policies and Procedures

Intake Procedures

The jail intake procedure at the Hartford Police Jail is made up of each of these steps:

You will be placed in a waiting area or cell. If there are a lot of arrests, it will take a while to get processed.

You have to answer some simple questions, like your full legal name, street address, date of birth and an emergency contact, and they’ll also ask about your medical and psychological history. Next, you’ll be given an inmate ID and your fingerprints will be taken. Then, all of your personal property will be taken from you and stored until you are discharged.

You will be allowed to make a phone call in order to call a family member, friend, or loved-on.

If you are expected to be released quickly, you might get to wear your own clothes, but if you are not expected to make bail quickly you will be issued a jail uniform.

Discharge Procedures

Once you are able to post bail, you will be allowed to go home after you get discharged. This process may take anywhere from 10 minutes to many hours. In other words the faster you can pay your bail, the sooner you can get out of jail. How quickly you get discharged might depend on whether or not you have a bond amount or if a judge must figure out how much to set your bail at. For minor charges, you will get booked and get released without having to post bail. When you have served out your jail sentence and are given a date of your release, you should expect to get discharged at any time that day – but usually in the morning.

Money & Commissary

The procedure to send funds to inmates might change, so be sure to visit the Hartford Police Jail website before you send funds to an inmate.

How To Send Money to an Inmate at Hartford 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 Hartford Police Jail uses changes frequently, so it is best to call them at 334-588-2222 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 Hartford Police Jail store. Inmates can buy a number of things here, such as toiletries, snacks and writing supplies. Bear in mind that you will probably need to use the commissary daily, and any infractions will get that privilege taken away from you.

The Commissary will sell an assortment of different items that inmates can buy if they have enough money in their trust account. These items include clothes, shoes, small snacks and other food items, as well as personal 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.

How To Save Money on Inmate Calls

Correctional facility phone service providers have a monopoly at every facility that they operate, which means that they they control the prices. The money these phone service providers make from all of the inmate phone calls 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 Hartford Police Jail. The rates are posted and there are at least two different prices based on where the inmate is calling. The following three things 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 finding out how to decrease your inmates phone charges is more difficult. ArrestedResources.com keeps up to date with all of the changes that affect your inmate’s calling rate and in most cases is able to offer you an inmate calling number that will save you significantly on calling your inmate. In some cases, we won’t be able to save you money on your inmate calls, and in these cases we will not offer you an inmate calling number. In cases like this, the jail or prison has set their phone rates so high that nobody will be able to save you money.
