Intake Procedures

The intake procedure at the Sheridan Police Jail is made up of each of the following 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.

Next, you’ll be given an inmate ID number and you will get fingerprinted. Then, any personal property you have will be taken from you and stored until you get released from jail.

They will let you make a telephone call in order to talk to a family member, friend, or loved-on.

Discharge Procedures

When you finally post bail, you will get released from jail. Getting discharged takes anywhere between 15 minutes to hours or even all day long.

When you have served out your jail sentence and know the release date, you should plan to be released that morning.

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.
