Cornwall Police Jail Policies and Procedures

Intake Procedures

The intake procedure at the Cornwall Police Jail is made up of 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.

You must answer some basic questions, such as what is your full name, address, date of birth and a contact person, and they’ll also ask you about your medical and mental history. Next, you will be issued an inmate ID and your fingerprints will be taken. Then, any personal property you have will be taken from you and stored until you get discharged from jail.

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

If they expect that you will make bail and be 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 jumpsuit.

Discharge Procedures

When you post bail, you will get discharged from jail. The discharge process can take from 10 minutes to all day. Or, simply, the faster you post bail, the sooner you will get out of jail. How quickly you get discharged depends on whether you’ve been given a cash bond or if the judge still needs to determine your bail amount. For lesser charges, you will get booked and then released on your recognizance without having to pay bail. When you have served your sentence and know the date of your release, expect to get released in the morning.

How To Send Money to an Inmate at Cornwall 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 Cornwall Police Jail uses changes frequently, so it is best to call them at 717-274-2071 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 Cornwall Police Jail store. Inmates can buy a number of things here, such as personal items, food, and things for writing. Remember that you will probably want to use the commissary every day, and any infractions will get that privilege taken away from you.

The Commissary will sell an assortment of different products that inmates can buy if they have enough money in their 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.

If you break the rules and are disciplined, an inmate’s ability to use the phone might get reduced or forbidden completely.

How To Save Money on Inmate Calls

Correctional facility phone service providers have a monopoly at each facility that they operate the phone services for, which means that they they control the prices. The money these phone service providers make off of all of the inmate phone calls 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 Cornwall Police Jail. The rates are posted and there are at least two pricing tiers based on where the inmate is calling. These three things 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 state prisons and local jails figuring out how to lower your inmates phone charges is more difficult. ArrestedResources.com is an expert in keeping up with all of the changes that affect your inmate’s rate and in most cases is able to offer you an inmate calling number that will save you significantly on how much it costs you to call your inmate.
