Yuma County Jail Policies and Procedures

Intake Procedures

The intake procedure at the Yuma County Jail is made up of 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.

The first thing you will have to to is you will have to answer a bunch of questions, such as what is your legal name, street address, birthdate and a contact person, and they’ll also ask you about your psychological and medical history. Next, you will be issued an inmate number and your fingerprints will be taken. Then, all personal property will be taken from you and stored until you are discharged.

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

If you think you will get released quickly, they will let you wear your street clothes, otherwise you you will have to change into a jail jumpsuit.

Discharge Procedures

Once bail has been posted, you will get released from jail. The discharge process can take between 10 minutes to quite a few hours. Or, simply, the faster you can pay your bail, the faster you will get released. It also can depend on whether or not you’ve been given a cash bond or if a judge still needs to figure out how much your bail will be. For lesser charges, you will simply be booked and released on your own recognizance. If you have served a sentence in jail and know the release date, expect to be released at any time that day – but usually in the morning.

Court Records

Court Records are public records and available to anyone. They include a case file containing a docket sheet and any documents and filings filed in the case. You are able to access your court records via the internet service ‘Public Access to Court Electronic Records’, or at Clerk of Court office in the county where the case was filed.

Criminal Records

Each state keeps a record of people’s criminal background. These online databases are all linked so you can track criminal convictions from another state. You can go to county courthouse and inquire, or check the website. It is helpful to know the county the crime was committed in, and in the event that the crime was in a different state, you might have to pay for a more complete search.

When you look up a person’s crminal records you are able to find out if someone has been arrested, charged, or convicted for driving under the influence (DUI), drug offenses such as possession or trafficking, kidnapping, sex offenses which could include rape, and sexual assault, violent crimes, or theft.

The rules for sending funds to Yuma County Jail jail inmates could change, so double check the Yuma County Jail site when you send any funds.

How To Send Money to an Inmate at Yuma 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 Yuma County Jail uses changes frequently, so it is best to call them at (970) 332-4805 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 Yuma County Jail store. An inmate can purchase different things here, such as toiletries, snacks and writing supplies. Bear in mind that you will probably need to use the commissary daily, 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 enough money in their account. These items include clothes, shoes, small snacks and other food items, as well as 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.

Phone Calls & Phone Usage Policy

Phone calls that inmates are allowed to make from the Yuma County Jail are made through a jail approved pre-paid phone account or phone card . These phone calls are a lot more costly than phone calls made outside of jail. Inmates are able to make phone calls, with restrictions on how often you can use the phone, but inmates must keep in mind that you are just one of many people who want to talk to their loved ones. If you are disciplined for an infraction, an inmate’s phone privileges might get reduced or cut altogether.

How To Save Money on Inmate Calls

Correctional facility phone service providers have a monopoly at each facility that they operate, which means that they they control the prices. The money 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 Yuma County Jail. 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.

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 state prisons and local jails learning how to decrease your inmates phone charges is more difficult. ArrestedResources.com is an expert in keeping up with all of the changes that affect your inmate’s rate and in most cases is able to offer you an inmate calling number that will save you a lot of money on calling your inmate. There are some prisons or jails where we will not be able to save you any money, and therefore we will not offer you an inmate calling number. In cases like this, the facility has set their phone rates so high that nobody can save you money.
