The intake process at the Gillespie County Jail is made up of the following steps:

They’ll put you in a holding cell. If there are a lot of arrests, you may not be processed immediately.

First, you must answer some questions, like your legal name, street address, birthdate and contact person, and you will also be asked about your medical and mental history. Next, you’ll be given an inmate ID and you will get fingerprinted. Then, all personal property will be taken from you and stored until you get discharged from jail.

They will allow you to make a telephone call so you can talk to a family member, friend, or loved-on.

If you are expected to be released shortly, you might be allowed to keep wearing your own clothes, if not you will be issued a jail uniform.

Discharge Procedures

Once bail has been posted, you will get discharged from jail. Getting discharged takes anywhere between 15 minutes to quite a few hours. In other words the faster you can post bail, the faster you will get discharged. How quickly you get discharged will depend on if you have a cash bond amount or if the judge must figure out the amount of bail to be set.

When you have served out your jail sentence and know the date of your release, you should plan to get released that morning.

How To Send Money to an Inmate at Gillespie County 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 Gillespie County Jail uses changes frequently, so it is best to call them at (830) 990-8793 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 inmateâ€™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 Gillespie County Jail store. Inmates can buy different things here, such as toiletries, snacks and writing supplies. Bear in mind that you will most likely want 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 inmates can buy if they have enough money in their commissary account. These items include clothes, shoes, small snacks and other food items, as well as personal 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

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

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.
