Pelham Police Jail Policies and Procedures

Intake Procedures

The jail intake procedure at the Pelham Police Jail is made up of each of the following 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 answer a bunch of questions, such as your legal name, your address, birth date and an emergency contact person, and they’ll also ask you about your medical and mental history. Next, you’ll be given an inmate ID 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 be allowed to use the phone to contact a member of your family, friend, or somebody else who can help you get out.

If you think you will get released quickly, 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 you will have to change into a jumpsuit.

Discharge Procedures

Once bail has been posted, you will be allowed to go home after you get discharged. Getting discharged from jail takes between 30 minutes to all day. Or, simply, the faster bail is posted, the sooner you will get released. Also, how fast you get released can depend on whether you’ve got a cash bond amount or if a judge needs to decide on the amount of bail to be set. For minor charges, you will simply be booked and then released on your recognizance without having to pay bail. When you have served out your jail sentence and are given a discharge date, you should plan to be released that morning.

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 Pelham Police Jail uses changes frequently, so it is best to call them at 229-294-6000 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.
