Bayard Police Jail Policies and Procedures

Intake Procedures

The intake procedure at the Bayard Police Jail takes you through the following steps:

They’ll put you in a holding cell. If the jail is busy, you may not be processed immediately.

First you must answer some basic questions, like what is your legal name, home address, birth date and a contact person, and they’ll also ask you about your psychological and medical history. Next, you will be issued an inmate ID and you will be fingerprinted. Then, all personal property will get taken away from you and stored until you get released.

You will be allowed to make a phone call so you can contact a member of your family, friend, or somebody else who can help you get out.

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

When you post bail, you will be allowed to go home after you get discharged. The discharge process takes anywhere from 10 minutes to all day long. In simple terms, the faster bail is posted, the quicker you will be freed. Also, how fast you get released depends on if you’ve been given a cash bond amount or if a judge still needs to figure out the amount of bail to be set. For minor offenses, you will get booked and get released without having to post bail. When you get to the end of your sentence and are given a release date, you should plan to be discharged between 9am and noon.

How To Send Money to an Inmate at Bayard 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 Bayard Police Jail uses changes frequently, so it is best to call them at 575-537-3312 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 Bayard Police Jail store. An inmate can buy different things here, such as toiletries, snacks and writing supplies. Keep in mind that you will probably want to use the commissary on a daily basis, and any infractions will get that privilege taken away from you.

These products include clothes, shoes, small snacks and other food items, as well as 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.

How To Save Money on Inmate Calls

Correctional facility phone service providers have exclusive contracts at each facility that they operate, which means that they get to set the prices.

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