Chesterfield Police Jail Policies and Procedures

Intake Procedures

The jail intake procedure at the Chesterfield Police Jail includes each of these steps:

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

First you will answer some simple questions, like your legal name, home address, date of birth and an emergency contact, and you will also be asked about your medical and mental history. Next, you will be issued an inmate number and you will be fingerprinted. Then, all of your personal property will be taken away from you and stored until you are discharged.

You will get to use the phone so you can get in touch with a family member, friend, or loved-on.

If they expect that you will make bail and be released quickly, you might get 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 wear a jail jumpsuit.

Discharge Procedures

When you post bail, you will be discharged from jail. Getting discharged may take from 30 minutes to all day. In other words the quicker bail is posted, the faster you will get released. Also, how fast you get released will depend on whether or not you’ve got a cash bond amount or if the magistrate needs to figure out how much your bail will be. For minor charges, you will be booked and then released on your recognizance without having to pay bail. When you get to the end of your sentence and have a date of your release, expect to get discharged at any time that day – but usually in the morning.

How To Send Money to an Inmate at Chesterfield 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 Chesterfield Police Jail uses changes frequently, so it is best to call them at 765-378-3354 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 Chesterfield Police Jail store. You can purchase a number of things here, like toiletries, snacks and writing supplies. Remember that you will probably want to buy things from the commissary daily, and any infractions will cause you to lose commissary privileges.

The Commissary will sell an assortment of different products that the inmate can purchase if they have enough money in their commissary account. These products 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.
