Bal Harbour Police Jail Policies and Procedures

Intake Procedures

The jail intake process at the Bal Harbour Police Jail includes these steps:

You will get put in a holding cell. If the jail is busy, you will have to wait, sometimes for many hours, before you get processed.

First you will answer some questions, like your full legal name, home address, birth date and contact person, and they’ll also ask you about your medical and psychological history. Next, you will be issued an inmate ID number and you will be fingerprinted. Then, all personal property will be taken away from you and stored until you are discharged.

You will then be allowed to use the telephone so you can talk to family, friends, or loved one.

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

Discharge Procedures

Once bail has been posted, you will get released from jail. The discharge process can take anywhere between 10 minutes to many hours. So, the faster you can post bail, the sooner you can get out of jail. How quickly you get discharged might depend on whether you have a cash bond amount or if the magistrate has to determine your bail amount. For a minor charge, you will simply be booked and then released on your recognizance without having to pay bail. When you have served your sentence and have a discharge date, expect to be discharged at any time that day – but usually in the morning.

How To Send Money to an Inmate at Bal Harbour Police 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 Bal Harbour Police Jail uses changes frequently, so it is best to call them at 305-866-5000 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 Bal Harbour Police Jail store. Inmates can purchase several different things here, like personal items, food, and things for writing. Bear in mind that you will most likely need to use the commissary every day, and any infractions will cause you to lose commissary privileges.

The Commissary will sell an assortment 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, in addition to 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

Correctional facility phone service companies have a monopoly at every facility that they operate, which means that they they control the prices. The profits these phone service providers make off of all of the phone calls that inmates make are split 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 Bal Harbour Police Jail. The rates are posted and there are at least two different prices based on where the inmate is calling. The following three factors 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.

ArrestedResources.com keeps up to date with all of the changes that affect your inmate’s calling 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.
