The first thing you will have to to is you will have to answer some simple questions, like what is your full legal name, address, date of birth and an emergency contact, and you will also be asked about your medical and psychological history. Next, you will be issued an inmate number and you will get fingerprinted. Then, all personal property will be taken away from you and stored until you get discharged from jail.

You will then be allowed to make a telephone call to get in touch with a member of your family, friend, or somebody else who can help you get out.

Discharge Procedures

Once you are able to post bail, you will get released from jail. The discharge process takes between 30 minutes to all day long. In simple terms, the faster you can pay your bail, the sooner you can get out of jail.

Money & Commissary

The rules for sending money to Ashland Police Jail inmates could change, so we suggest that you check the Ashland Police Jail site when you send any money.

How To Send Money to an Inmate at Ashland 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 Ashland Police Jail uses changes frequently, so it is best to call them at 256-354-2122 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 inmateâ€™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 Ashland Police Jail store. An inmate can buy different things here, like personal items, food, and things for writing. Remember that you will probably need to use the commissary on a daily basis, and any infractions will cause you to lose commissary privileges.

The Commissary will sell a selection of different products that inmates can buy if they have sufficient funds in their trust account. 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. 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.

Phone Calls & Phone Usage Policy

How To Save Money on Inmate Calls

Correctional facility phone service providers have exclusive contracts at every facility that they are the exclusive phone provider for, which means that they they control the prices. The profits these phone service providers make from all of the inmate phone calls are shared with the facility, so there is no incentive for the jail or the counselors at the facility to show inmates or their family how to save money on inmate phone calls at the Ashland Police Jail. The rates are posted and there are at least two pricing tiers based on where the inmate is calling. The following 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.

For example, if your inmate is in federal prison, if you get a new local number then this will decrease your inmate’s phone call rate from $.21 per minute to only $.06 per minute.

For the other correctional facilities like state prisons, and local and county jails finding out how to decrease your inmates phone charges is more difficult. ArrestedResources.com keeps up to date with all of the changes that affect your inmate’s calling rate and in most cases is able to offer you an inmate calling number that will save you significantly on inmate phone calls. In some cases, we will not be able to save you any money, and in these cases we will not offer you an inmate calling number.
