Danville Police Jail Policies and Procedures

Intake Procedures

The intake procedure at the Danville Police Jail includes each of the following steps:

You will be placed in a holding cell. When the jail is busy, you will have to wait, sometimes for many hours, before you get processed.

First you will have to answer a bunch of questions, such as what is your full legal name, home address, birth date and an emergency contact person, and they’ll also ask you about your mental and medical history. Next, you’ll be given an inmate number and your fingerprints will be taken. Then, all of your personal property will be taken away from you and stored until you get discharged from jail.

They will allow you to use the phone in order to talk to a member of your family, friend, or loved one.

If you are expected to be released shortly, you might get to skip the jumpsuit and keep wearing your own clothes, if not you you will have to change into a jail uniform – the jumpsuit.

Discharge Procedures

When you finally post bail, you will be allowed to go home after you get discharged. Getting discharged can take anywhere from 10 minutes to all day. In other words the faster you can post bail, the quicker you will get let go. How quickly you get discharged can depend on whether or not you’ve got a cash bond or if a judge still needs to figure out the bail amount. For a minor offense, you will get booked and released on your own recognizance. When you have served your sentence and know the date of your release, plan to get released at any time that day – but usually in the morning.

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 Danville Police Jail uses changes frequently, so it is best to call them at 304-369-5428 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 Danville Police Jail store. Inmates can buy a number of things here, such as toiletries, snacks and writing supplies. Keep in mind that you will most likely need to buy things from the commissary daily, and any infractions will cause you to lose commissary privileges.

These products include clothes, shoes, small snacks and other food items, in addition to 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.

These three things will determine how much an inmate phone call will cost: Where you are located; Where your inmate is located, What type of phone number you have.
