Grand Island Police Jail Policies and Procedures

Intake Procedures

The intake procedure at the Grand Island Police Jail includes each of the following steps:

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

The first step is that you will answer some questions, like what is your legal name, address, birth date and an emergency contact, and they’ll also ask you about your mental and medical history. Next, you’ll be given an inmate number and you will get fingerprinted. Then, any personal property you have will be taken away from you and stored until you get discharged from jail.

You will then be allowed to use the telephone in order to get in touch with a family member, friend, or loved-on.

If they expect that you will make bail and be released quickly, you will be allowed to skip the jumpsuit and keep wearing your own clothes, but if you are not expected to make bail quickly you you will have to change into a jail jumpsuit.

Discharge Procedures

When you pay your bail, you will be discharged from jail. This process can take anywhere between 30 minutes to quite a few hours. In other words the faster you can pay your bail, the sooner you will be released. How quickly you get discharged might depend on if you’ve got a bond amount or if a magistrate needs to decide on how much to set your bail at. For minor charges, you will simply be booked and get released without having to post bail. When you have served your sentence and have a date of your release, you should plan to be released anywhere between the hours of 9am and 12pm.

How To Send Money to an Inmate at Grand Island Police Jail

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

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 Grand Island Police Jail store. You can buy a number of things here, like personal items, food, and things for writing. Keep in mind that you will probably want 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 inmates can buy if they have enough money in their commissary account. These products include clothes, shoes, small snacks and other food items, in addition to personal 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.
