Alberta Police Jail Policies and Procedures

Intake Procedures

The jail intake process at the Alberta Police Jail is made up of the following steps:

They’ll put you in a holding cell. If the jail is busy, it will take a while to get processed.

You will answer some simple questions, such as what is your full legal name, address, birth date and contact person, and you will also be asked about your medical and psychological history. Next, you’ll be given an inmate number and you will be fingerprinted. Then, all of your personal property will be taken away from you and stored until you get released from jail.

You will be allowed to use the telephone in order to contact family, friends, or loved one.

If they expect that you will make bail and be released quickly, you will be allowed to keep wearing street clothes, if not you you will have to wear a jumpsuit.

Discharge Procedures

When you pay your bail, you will be allowed to leave jail. Getting discharged from jail can take anywhere from 10 minutes to many hours. In other words the quicker you post bail, the sooner you will get released. Also, how fast you get released depends on whether you have a bond amount or if a judge must figure out your bail amount. For minor offenses, you will simply be booked and get released without having to post bail. When you get to the end of your sentence and know the release date, you should plan to get discharged in the morning.

How To Send Money to an Inmate at Alberta 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 Alberta Police Jail uses changes frequently, so it is best to call them at 434-949-7443 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 Alberta Police Jail store. An inmate can purchase different things here, such as toiletries, snacks and writing supplies. Bear in mind that you will most likely need to buy things from the commissary every day, 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 enough money in their commissary account. These products include clothes, shoes, small snacks and other food items, as well as personal hygiene products including 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.

How To Save Money on Inmate Calls

Correctional facility phone service providers have a monopoly at every facility that they operate the phone services for, which means that they they control the prices. The profits 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 Alberta Police Jail. The rates are posted and there are at least two types of prices 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.

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 state prisons and local jails figuring out how to lower your inmates phone charges can be more difficult. ArrestedResources.com is an expert in keeping up 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 calling your inmate.
