Intake Procedures

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

You will be placed in a waiting area or cell. If the jail is really busy, you will have to wait, sometimes for many hours, before you get processed.

First you must answer a number of questions, like your full name, home address, date of birth and a contact person, and they’ll also ask about your mental and medical history. Next, you’ll be given an inmate number and you will be fingerprinted. Then, all of your personal property will get taken away from you and stored until you are discharged.

They will let you use the telephone in order to contact a member of your family, friend, or somebody else who can help you get out.

If you are expected to be released quickly, you might get to wear your own clothes, otherwise you will be issued a jail uniform.

Discharge Procedures

When you pay your bail, you will get discharged from jail. Getting discharged may take from 15 minutes to all day long. In simple terms, the quicker bail is posted, the sooner you will get released. Also, how fast you get released depends on whether or not you have a cash bond or if the judge must figure out how much your bail will be. For a minor charge, you will get booked and then released on your recognizance without having to pay bail. When you have served out your jail sentence and know the release date, plan to be released that morning.

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 Percy Police Jail uses changes frequently, so it is best to call them at 618-497-2015 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 hygiene products like 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.
