Bladensburg Police Jail Policies and Procedures

Intake Procedures

The intake procedure at the Bladensburg Police Jail is made up of these steps:

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

First, you will have to answer some questions, like what is your full name, street address, birth date and contact person, and they’ll also ask you about your medical and mental history. Next, you’ll be given an inmate ID number and you will be fingerprinted. Then, all personal property will be taken away from you and stored until you are discharged.

They will allow you to make a phone call so you can get in touch with family, friends, or loved one.

If you are expected to be released quickly, they will let you skip the jumpsuit and keep wearing your own clothes, if not you you will have to change into a jail uniform – the jumpsuit.

Discharge Procedures

Once you are able to post bail, you will get released from jail. Getting discharged from jail takes from 15 minutes to hours or even all day long. So, the quicker you post bail, the quicker you will be released. Also, how fast you get released will depend on whether or not you have a bond amount or if a magistrate still needs to figure out the amount of bail to be set. For minor charges, you will simply be booked and get released without having to post bail. When you get to the end of your sentence and have a release date, you should plan to be discharged at any time that day – but usually in the morning.

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.

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.

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.

The prices are posted and there are at least two pricing tiers based on where the inmate is calling. The following three things will determine how much an inmate phone call will cost: 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.

For the other correctional facilities like state prisons, and local and county jails finding out how to decrease your inmates phone charges is more difficult.
