Ontario Police Jail Policies and Procedures

Intake Procedures

The intake procedure at the Ontario Police Jail is made up of these steps:

They’ll put you in a holding cell. If there are a lot of arrests, you may not be processed immediately.

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

You will then be allowed to use the phone so you can get in touch with a member of your family, friend, or loved one.

If they expect that you will make bail and be released quickly, you will be allowed to wear your own clothes, if not you you will have to change into a jail issued jumpsuit.

Discharge Procedures

Once you are able to post bail, you will be discharged from jail. This process may take anywhere from 30 minutes to all day. In other words the faster you post bail, the quicker you will get released. Also, how fast you get released will depend on whether you’ve got a cash bond or if a judge has to decide on your bail amount. For a minor charge, you will simply be booked and get released without having to post bail. When you have served out your jail sentence and are given a release date, you should plan to be discharged at any time that day – but usually in the morning.

Ontario Police Jail Visitation

Your visitors will be entered in a log of approved visitors as an Authorized visit. Each and every visitor has to provide acceptable photo identification. Visitors that arrives for visitation late or that is not on the visitation list will be turned away.

How To Send Money to an Inmate at Ontario 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 Ontario Police Jail uses changes frequently, so it is best to call them at 909-395-2001 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 Ontario Police Jail store. You can buy a number of things here, like toiletries, snacks and writing supplies. Bear in mind that you will most likely want to use the commissary daily, and any infractions will get that privilege taken away from you.

The Commissary will sell a selection of different products that the inmate can buy if they have enough money in their trust account. These items include clothes, shoes, small snacks and other food items, in addition to hygiene products such as 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

The only phone calls that Ontario Police Jail inmates are allowed to make are with a pre-paid phone card or account, or are collect calls . Jail phone calls are typically more expensive than phone calls made at home. There are certain restrictions about how often you can use the phone, but inmates should keep in mind that a long line can form at the phones, because everyone wants to use the phone, too. If you break the rules, phone privileges might get reduced or cut altogether.

How To Save Money on Inmate Calls

Correctional facility phone service providers have exclusive contracts at every facility that they have a contract with, 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 Ontario Police Jail. The rates are posted and there are at least two different prices based on where the inmate is calling. These three factors 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 finding out how to decrease 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 a lot of money on inmate phone calls.
