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

Next, you will be issued an inmate number and your fingerprints will be taken. Then, all personal property will get taken away from you and stored until you are discharged.

You will be allowed to make a telephone call in order to call a member of your family, friend, or somebody else who can help you get out.

If you are expected to be released shortly, you might be allowed to keep wearing street clothes, but if you are not expected to make bail quickly you you will have to wear a jail uniform.

Discharge Procedures

When you finally post bail, you will be allowed to leave jail. Getting discharged may take anywhere between 10 minutes to quite a few hours.

When you have served out your jail sentence and are given a release date, plan to get released anywhere between the hours of 9am and 12pm.

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

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.
