Fairview Police Jail Policies and Procedures

Intake Procedures

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

You will be placed in a holding cell. When the jail is busy, you will have to wait a while to get processed.

First you must answer some basic questions, such as what is your legal name, home address, birthdate and contact person, and also, you will also be asked about your medical and psychological history. Next, you will be issued an inmate ID and you will get fingerprinted. Then, all of your personal property will get taken away from you and stored until you get discharged from jail.

They will allow you to use the telephone in order to call a member of your family, friend, or somebody else who can help you get out.

If you are expected to be released shortly, they will let you wear your own clothes, if not you you will have to change into a jumpsuit.

Discharge Procedures

When you finally post bail, you will be allowed to go home after you get discharged. This process takes anywhere from 30 minutes to quite a few hours. In other words the quicker you post bail, the faster you will get discharged from jail. How quickly you get discharged might depend on if you’ve been given a bond amount or if the judge must determine how much to set your bail at.

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 Fairview Police Jail uses changes frequently, so it is best to call them at 304-449-1642 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.

How To Save Money on Inmate Calls

Correctional facility phone service companies 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 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 Fairview Police Jail. The rates are posted and there are at least two pricing tiers based on where the inmate is calling. The following 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 the other correctional facilities like state prisons, and local and county jails figuring 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 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.
