You will be placed in a holding cell. If the jail is busy, it will take a while to get processed.

First you have to answer some simple questions, like your full legal name, your address, birthdate and an emergency contact person, and they’ll also ask about your psychological and medical history. Next, you’ll be given an inmate number and you will get fingerprinted. Then, all personal property will get taken away from you and stored until you get released from jail.

You will be allowed to make a phone call so you can contact a member of your family, friend, or loved one.

If you think you will get released quickly, you will be allowed to keep wearing your own clothes, but if you are not expected to make bail quickly you you will be given a jail issued jumpsuit.

Discharge Procedures

Once bail has been posted, you will be discharged from jail. Getting discharged from jail takes anywhere between 15 minutes to quite a few hours.

If you have served a sentence in jail and are given a release date, expect to be released anywhere between the hours of 9am and 12pm.

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 Pelahatchie Police Jail uses changes frequently, so it is best to call them at 601-854-5223 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.
