Emerado Police Jail Policies and Procedures

Intake Procedures

The intake procedure at the Emerado Police Jail includes each of these 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.

You must answer some basic questions, such as what is your full name, street address, birthdate and an emergency contact person, and they’ll also ask about your mental and medical history. Next, you’ll be given an inmate ID number and your fingerprints will be taken. Then, any personal property you have will get taken away from you and stored until you get discharged from jail.

You will then be allowed to use the telephone to get in touch with family, friends, or loved one.

If you are expected to be released quickly, you might get to skip the jumpsuit and keep wearing your own clothes, but if you are not expected to make bail quickly you will be issued a jumpsuit.

Discharge Procedures

Once you are able to post bail, you will get released from jail. Getting discharged from jail can take anywhere between 15 minutes to many hours. Or, simply, the faster you post bail, the quicker you will get discharged. It also might depend on whether or not you’ve got a cash bond amount or if the judge still needs to figure out your bail amount. For minor offenses, you will simply be booked and then released on your recognizance without having to pay bail. When you have served your sentence and have a discharge date, plan to be released between 9am and noon.

How To Send Money to an Inmate at Emerado 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

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.

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