Green County Jail Policies and Procedures

Intake Procedures

The jail intake procedure at the Green County Jail is made up of each of the following 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.

First, you will have to answer some questions, such as your full legal name, street address, date of birth and an emergency contact, and they’ll also ask about your medical and mental history. Next, you’ll be given an inmate ID number and you will get fingerprinted. Then, any personal property you have will be taken from you and stored until you get released from jail.

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

If they expect that you will make bail and be released quickly, you will be allowed to keep wearing your own clothes, otherwise you you will be given a jail uniform.

Discharge Procedures

Once bail has been posted, you will be discharged from jail. Getting discharged takes anywhere between 30 minutes to hours or even all day long. Or, simply, the faster you can pay your bail, the sooner you will get discharged from jail. Also, it can depend on whether you have a bond amount or if the judge needs to figure out the bail amount. For lesser charges, you will get booked and released on your own recognizance. When you get to the end of your sentence and have a discharge date, you should expect to get released that morning.

Green County Jail Visitation

The inmate must give each visitor’s full name to the Green County Jail in advance of any visit. This information will be entered into a log of visitors for the requesting inmate. Every visitor will have to provide proof of identification. Anyone showing up late or that is not on the visitation list will not be able to attend visitation.

Visitation procedures change often, so we suggest that you call the jail at (608) 328-9400 before you try to go to visitation.

How To Send Money to an Inmate at Green 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 Green County Jail uses changes frequently, so it is best to call them at (608) 328-9400 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 Green County Jail store. Inmates can buy several different things here, like personal items, food, and things for writing. Remember that you will probably want to use the commissary daily, and any infractions will cause you to lose commissary privileges.

The Commissary will sell an assortment of different items that inmates can buy if they have sufficient funds in their account. These products include clothes, shoes, small snacks and other food items, in addition to 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. 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.

Phone Calls & Phone Usage Policy

The only phone calls that Green County Jail inmates are allowed to make are made through a jail approved pre-paid phone account or phone card . Phone calls made in jail are usually more expensive than phone calls made at home. Phone calls are restricted on how often you can use the phone, but inmates should keep in mind that a long line can form at the phones, because everyone wants to use the phone, too. If you break the jail rules, phone calls might get reduced or cut altogether.

How To Save Money on Inmate Calls

Correctional facility phone service providers have exclusive contracts at every facility that they are the exclusive phone provider for, which means that they get to set the prices. The profits these phone service providers make off of all of the phone calls that inmates make 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 Green County Jail. The prices are posted and there are at least two types of prices based on where the inmate is calling. The following 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.

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 lower your inmates phone charges can be more difficult.
