Humboldt Police Jail Policies and Procedures

Intake Procedures

The intake procedure at the Humboldt Police Jail includes 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.

You will answer a bunch of questions, like your full name, home address, date of birth and an emergency contact, and they’ll also ask about your medical and psychological history. Next, you will be issued an inmate number and you will get fingerprinted. Then, any personal property you have will be taken away from you and stored until you get discharged from jail.

You will be allowed to use the telephone to talk to a member of your family, friend, or somebody else who can help you get out.

If they expect that you will make bail and be released quickly, you will be allowed to skip the jumpsuit and keep wearing your own clothes, if not you you will have to wear a jail uniform.

Discharge Procedures

Once you are able to post bail, you will get released from jail. The discharge process can take between 10 minutes to many hours.

How quickly you get discharged might depend on if you’ve got a cash bond amount or if the judge has to figure out the amount of bail to be set. For a minor charge, you will get booked and get released without having to post bail. When you have completed your jail sentence and have a discharge date, you should plan to get released that morning.

How To Send Money to an Inmate at Humboldt 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 Humboldt Police Jail uses changes frequently, so it is best to call them at 515-332-2600 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 Humboldt Police Jail store. An inmate can purchase a number of things here, such as personal items, food, and things for writing. Remember that you will most likely want to use the commissary on a daily basis, and any infractions will get that privilege taken away from you.

The Commissary will sell an assortment of different products that the inmate can purchase if they have enough money in their trust account. These products include clothes, shoes, small snacks and other food items, in addition to personal hygiene products like 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.
