Lyons Police Jail Policies and Procedures

Intake Procedures

The intake procedure at the Lyons Police Jail is made up of each of these steps:

They’ll put you in a holding cell. If there are a lot of arrests, you will have to wait, sometimes for many hours, before you get processed.

You will have to answer some simple questions, like what is your full legal name, address, birthdate and a contact person, and they’ll also ask you about your mental and medical history. Next, you’ll be given an inmate ID and your fingerprints will be taken. Then, all personal property will get taken away from you and stored until you are released.

You will then be allowed to use the phone in order to talk to a member of your family, friend, or somebody else who can help you get out.

If you are expected to be released shortly, you might be able to wear your own clothes, otherwise you you will be given a jail jumpsuit.

Discharge Procedures

When you pay your bail, you will be allowed to leave jail. This process can take from 15 minutes to hours or even all day long. So, the faster bail is posted, the quicker you will be freed. It also depends on whether or not you’ve been given a cash bond amount or if a judge needs to decide on your bail amount. For a minor offense, you will simply be booked and get released without having to post bail. When you have served your sentence and are given a discharge date, expect to get discharged at any time that day – but usually in the morning.

Court Records are public records. These records include a case file containing a court docket and all documents and filings filed in the case. You can access court records on the internet, or at the Greene County Clerk of Court office where the case was filed.

Criminal Records

Each and every state maintains records of their state citizen’s criminal background. These databases are all linked and you can track criminal backgrounds from another state. Go to the Greene County Courthouse and check in person, or check the website. It helps to know which county the crime occurred in, and if the crime was in a completely different state, you may have to pay a fee for a more comprehensive search.

Money & Commissary

The process for sending money to people in jail can change at any time, so check the Lyons Police Jail site when you send money to an inmate there.

How To Send Money to an Inmate at Lyons 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 Lyons Police Jail uses changes frequently, so it is best to call them at 812-659-2500 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 Lyons Police Jail store. An inmate can purchase several different things here, such as personal items, food, and things for writing. Remember that you will most likely need to use the commissary daily, and any infractions will cause you to lose commissary privileges.

The Commissary will sell a selection of different products that the inmate can buy if they have enough money in their account. 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. 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 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 these phone service providers make from all of the inmate phone calls 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 Lyons Police Jail. The rates are posted and there are at least two types of prices based on where the inmate is calling. The following three things 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.

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 figuring out how to decrease your inmates phone charges can be more difficult. ArrestedResources.com is an expert in keeping up with all of the changes that affect your inmate’s calling rate and in most cases is able to offer you an inmate calling number that will save you significantly on calling your inmate.
