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

You must answer some basic questions, like what is your full name, your address, date of birth and contact person, and you will also be asked about your medical and psychological history. Next, you will be issued an inmate number and you will be fingerprinted. Then, any personal property you have will be taken away from you and stored until you get released.

They will let you make a telephone call to contact a member of your family, friend, or somebody else who can help you get out.

Discharge Procedures

Once you are able to post bail, you will be discharged from jail. This process will take anywhere between 15 minutes to many hours. Or, simply, the faster bail is posted, the faster you can get out of jail. Also, it depends on whether or not you’ve been given a bond amount or if a magistrate must figure out how much your bail will be. For a minor offense, you will get booked and get released without having to post bail. When you get to the end of your sentence and are given a discharge date, you should plan to be discharged that morning.

Money & Commissary

The process for sending money to people in jail is likely to change, so we suggest that you check the Lyndonville Police Jail site before you send money to an inmate there.

How To Send Money to an Inmate at Lyndonville 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 Lyndonville Police Jail uses changes frequently, so it is best to call them at 802-626-1271 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 Lyndonville Police Jail store. Inmates can purchase different things here, like personal items, food, and things for writing. Bear in mind 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 a selection of different products that the inmate 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 hygiene products including 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 providers have a monopoly at each facility that they are the exclusive phone provider for, which means that they get to set the prices. The money these phone service providers make off of all phone calls that inmates make are shared 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 Lyndonville Police Jail. The prices are posted and there are at least two different prices based on where the inmate is calling. These three things will determine the cost of an inmate phone call: 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.
