Intake Procedures

The intake procedure at the Sanford Police Jail takes you through the following steps:

They’ll put you in a holding cell. If the jail is busy, you will have to wait, sometimes for many hours, before you get processed.

First, you have to answer some questions, such as what is your legal name, home address, date of birth and an emergency contact person, and they’ll also ask about your medical and psychological history. Next, you will be issued an inmate ID number and your fingerprints will be taken. Then, any personal property you have will get taken away from you and will be stored until you are released.

You will then be allowed to use the phone in order to contact a family member, friend, or loved-on.

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

Discharge Procedures

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 Sanford Police Jail uses changes frequently, so it is best to call them at 719-274-4024 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.

The prices are posted and there are at least two pricing tiers based on where the inmate is calling. 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.
