First you have to answer a bunch of questions, like your legal name, street address, birth date and an emergency contact person, and you will also be asked about your medical and mental history. Next, you will be issued an inmate ID number and you will be fingerprinted. Then, all of your personal property will be taken from you and stored until you get released from jail.

You will then be allowed to use the telephone in order to talk to a member of your family, friend, or loved one.

If you are expected to be released shortly, you will be allowed to skip the jumpsuit and keep wearing your own clothes, but if you are not expected to make bail quickly you will be issued a jumpsuit.

The rates are posted and there are at least two pricing tiers based on where the inmate is calling. These three things 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.
