Chipley Police Jail Policies and Procedures

Intake Procedures

The intake procedure at the Chipley Police Jail includes these steps:

You will be placed in a holding cell. If there are a lot of arrests, you will have to wait, sometimes for many hours, before you get processed.

The first thing you will have to to is you will have to answer a bunch of questions, like your full legal name, home address, date of birth and contact person, and they’ll also ask you about your mental and medical history. Next, you’ll be given an inmate ID number and you will get fingerprinted. Then, any personal property you have will be taken away from you and stored until you get released.

You will then be allowed to make a phone call so you can talk to family, friends, or loved one.

If you are expected to be released shortly, you might be allowed 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 jail uniform – the jumpsuit.

Discharge Procedures

When you post bail, you will be allowed to leave jail. This process can take anywhere between 15 minutes to all day long. So, the quicker you post bail, the sooner you will get discharged. How quickly you get discharged can depend on whether or not you have a bond amount or if the judge still needs to figure out how much your bail will be. For lesser charges, you will simply be booked and then released on your recognizance without having to pay bail. If you have served a sentence in jail and know the date of your release, plan to be discharged at any time that day – but usually in the morning.

How To Send Money to an Inmate at Chipley 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.

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.
