Morrison Police Jail Policies and Procedures

Intake Procedures

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

You will be placed in a holding cell. If there are a lot of arrests, you may not be processed immediately.

You will answer some basic questions, such as what is your legal name, address, birthdate and a contact person, and you will also be asked about your mental and medical history. Next, you will be issued an inmate ID and your fingerprints will be taken. Then, all of your personal property will be taken away from you and stored until you are discharged.

You will get to use the phone so you can talk to family, friends, or loved one.

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

Discharge Procedures

When you finally post bail, you will be allowed to leave jail. The discharge process can take between 30 minutes to many hours. In other words the faster bail is posted, the quicker you will be released. It also can depend on whether or not you’ve got a cash bond or if a judge still needs to determine how much to set your bail at. For a minor charge, you will get booked and get released without having to post bail. When you have served out your jail sentence and know the date of your release, you should expect to be released between 9am and noon.

Every state maintains records of their state citizen’s criminal history. These online databases are linked together so you are able to track criminal convictions from any other state.

Money & Commissary

The rules for sending funds to inmates at the Morrison Police Jail are always changing, so be sure to visit the Morrison Police Jail site when you send money to an inmate.

How To Send Money to an Inmate at Morrison 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 Morrison Police Jail uses changes frequently, so it is best to call them at 815-772-7650 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 Morrison Police Jail store. Inmates can purchase different things here, such as personal items, food, and things for writing. 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 a selection of different products that inmates can buy if they have money in their trust account. These products include clothes, shoes, small snacks and other food items, in addition to hygiene products including 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.

Phone Calls & Phone Usage Policy

The only phone calls that Morrison Police Jail inmates are allowed to make are collect calls or through a pre-paid phone account . These phone calls are generally more costly than regular phone calls. Phone calls are restricted on when you can make phone calls, how long you can talk, and how often you can make calls, but you should keep in mind that every inmate wants to use the phone too, so they can call their family. If you are disciplined for an infraction, phone calls might get cut back or cut altogether.

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 get to set 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 Morrison Police Jail. The rates are posted and there are at least two different prices based on where the inmate is calling. These three factors will determine the cost of an inmate phone call: 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 the other correctional facilities like state prisons, and local and county jails finding out how to decrease your inmates phone charges can be more difficult. ArrestedResources.com is an expert in keeping up 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 will not be able to save you any money, and in these cases we will not offer you an inmate calling number. In these cases, the jail has set their phone rates in a way that nobody will be able to save you money.
