Intake Procedures

The intake process at the Prescott Police Jail includes each of these steps:

You will be placed in a waiting area or cell. If the jail is busy, you will have to wait, sometimes for many hours, before you get processed.

The first step is that you have to answer a bunch of questions, such as what is your legal name, home address, birth date and a contact person, and they’ll also ask about your medical and mental history. Next, you’ll be given 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 phone call so you can get in touch with a family member, friend, or loved-on.

If they expect that you will make bail and be released quickly, you might be able to keep wearing street clothes, but if you are not expected to make bail quickly you will be issued a jail issued jumpsuit.

Discharge Procedures

Once bail has been posted, you will get released from jail. The discharge process takes anywhere from 15 minutes to all day. Or, simply, the quicker you post bail, the faster you will be released. How quickly you get discharged might depend on if you’ve been given a cash bond amount or if the magistrate needs to determine your bail amount. For minor charges, you will simply be booked and released on your own recognizance. If you have served a sentence in jail and know the date of your release, you should plan to get released 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 Prescott Police Jail uses changes frequently, so it is best to call them at 715-262-5512 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.
