Saint Clair Police Jail Policies and Procedures

Intake Procedures

The jail intake procedure at the Saint Clair Police Jail takes you through each of these steps:

You will be placed in a holding cell. If there are a lot of arrests, you will have to wait a while to get processed.

First, you will have to answer some simple questions, like your full legal name, address, birth date and an emergency contact, and you will also be asked about your mental and medical history. Next, you’ll be given an inmate ID and you will get fingerprinted. Then, any personal property you have will get taken away from you and stored until you are released.

You will get to use the phone in order to contact family, friends, or loved one.

If they expect that you will make bail and be released quickly, you might get to wear your street clothes, but if you are not expected to make bail quickly you you will have to wear a jail jumpsuit.

Discharge Procedures

Once bail has been posted, you will be allowed to leave jail. This process will take from 30 minutes to hours or even all day long. In other words the faster you can pay your bail, the quicker you will be released. How quickly you get discharged might depend on if you’ve been given a bond amount or if the magistrate still needs to figure out how much to set your bail at. For minor 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 are given a date of your release, plan to get released at any time that day – but usually in the morning.

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 Saint Clair Police Jail store. You can purchase different things here, such as toiletries, snacks and writing supplies. Remember that you will most likely want to use the commissary on a daily basis, and any infractions will cause you to lose commissary privileges.

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.
