Maquon Police Jail Policies and Procedures

Intake Procedures

The intake procedure at the Maquon Police Jail is made up of the following steps:

You will be placed in a holding cell. When the jail is busy, you will have to wait, sometimes for many hours, before you get processed.

You have to answer some questions, such as what is your full legal name, 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 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.

They will let you make a phone call in order to talk to family, friends, or loved one.

If they expect that you will make bail and be released quickly, you will be allowed to wear your street clothes, but if you are not expected to make bail quickly you you will have to change into a jail uniform – the jumpsuit.

Discharge Procedures

Once you are able to post bail, you will get discharged from jail. Getting discharged may take anywhere from 30 minutes to hours or even all day long. Or, simply, the faster you can post bail, the quicker you can get released from jail. It also depends on whether you’ve been given a bond amount or if the judge still needs to figure out how much to set your bail at. For a minor offense, you will get 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 get released between 9am and noon.

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 Maquon Police Jail uses changes frequently, so it is best to call them at 309-875-3553 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.

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.

How To Save Money on Inmate Calls

Correctional facility phone service companies have exclusive contracts at each facility that they operate the phone services for, which means that they they control how much it costs to make phone calls. The profits off of all of the phone calls that inmates make 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 Maquon Police Jail. The prices are posted and there are at least two different prices based on where the inmate is calling. These three things will determine the cost of an inmate phone call: 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 can be more difficult.
