Greene County Prison Policies and Procedures

Intake Procedures

The jail intake process at the Greene County Prison takes you through each of these steps:

They’ll put you in a holding cell. If the jail is busy, you will have to wait a while to get processed.

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

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

If you think you will get released quickly, they will let you wear your street clothes, but if you are not expected to make bail quickly you will be issued a jumpsuit.

Discharge Procedures

When you pay your bail, you will get released from jail. The discharge process will take anywhere from 30 minutes to all day long. So, the faster you can pay your bail, the quicker you will get released. It also can depend on whether or not you’ve been given a bond amount or if the judge still needs to determine the amount of bail to be set. For lesser charges, you will simply be booked and get released without having to post bail. When you have completed your jail sentence and know the date of your release, expect to get released anywhere between the hours of 9am and 12pm.

How To Send Money to an Inmate at Greene County Prison

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 Greene County Prison uses changes frequently, so it is best to call them at (724) 627-7780 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 Greene County Prison store. An inmate can buy different things here, like toiletries, snacks and writing supplies. Remember that you will probably need to buy things from the commissary on a daily basis, and any infractions will get that privilege taken away from you.

The Commissary will sell a selection of different products that the inmate can buy if they have sufficient funds 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.

Inmates are able to make phone calls, with restrictions on when and how often you can use the phone, but you should keep in mind that there are a limited number of phones, so all the inmates must share phone time. If you are disciplined for an infraction, your ability to use the phone might get reduced or eliminated completely, as part of the punishment.

How To Save Money on Inmate Calls

Correctional facility phone service companies have a monopoly at every facility that they operate the phone services for, which means that they get to set the prices.

The rates are posted and there are at least two types of prices based on where the inmate is calling. These 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.
