Intake Procedures

The jail intake process at the Leland Police Jail is made up of these steps:

They’ll put you in a holding cell. If the jail is really busy, you will have to wait, sometimes for many hours, before you get processed.

You will have to answer a bunch of questions, like your full legal name, your address, birth date and contact person, and you will also be asked about your mental and medical history. Next, you’ll be given an inmate ID number and you will be fingerprinted. Then, any personal property you have will be taken from you and stored until you are discharged.

You will get to make a telephone call to talk to family, friends, or loved one.

If you are expected to be released shortly, you might get to keep wearing street clothes, but if you are not expected to make bail quickly you will be issued a jail issued jumpsuit.

Discharge Procedures

When you finally post bail, you will be discharged from jail. Getting discharged from jail may take from 30 minutes to hours or even all day long. In other words the quicker bail is posted, the faster you can get released from jail. Also, how fast you get released will depend on whether or not you have a cash bond or if the magistrate has to decide on the amount of bail to be set. For minor offenses, you will be booked and then released on your recognizance without having to pay bail. When you get to the end of your sentence and know the discharge date, you should expect to get discharged that morning.

How To Send Money to an Inmate at Leland 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 Leland Police Jail uses changes frequently, so it is best to call them at 815-495-9372 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 Leland Police Jail store. You can buy several different things here, like personal items, food, and things for writing. Bear in mind that you will probably want to use the commissary on a daily basis, and any infractions will cause you to lose commissary privileges.

The Commissary will sell an assortment of different items that the inmate can buy if they have money in their commissary account. These items include clothes, shoes, small snacks and other food items, in addition to 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. 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.

The rates are posted and there are at least two different prices based on where the inmate is calling. These three factors 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.
