Intake Procedures

The jail intake process at the Wilkesboro Police Jail includes these steps:

You will be placed in a waiting area or cell. When the jail is busy, it will take a while to get processed.

You will have to answer a number of questions, such as what is your full name, home address, birthdate and contact person, and also, you will also be asked about your psychological and medical history. Next, you will be issued an inmate ID and you will be fingerprinted. Then, all personal property will be taken away from you and stored until you are discharged.

You will then be allowed to make a telephone call in order to talk to a family member, friend, or loved-on.

If they expect that you will make bail and be released quickly, you might be able to keep wearing your own clothes, otherwise you will be issued a jail jumpsuit.

Discharge Procedures

When you pay your bail, you will get discharged from jail. Getting discharged from jail may take anywhere from 30 minutes to all day. In other words the faster you post bail, the sooner you will get discharged. Also, how fast you get released can depend on if you have a cash bond or if a magistrate must determine your bail amount. For minor charges, you will simply be booked and then released on your recognizance without having to pay bail.

How To Send Money to an Inmate at Wilkesboro 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 Wilkesboro Police Jail uses changes frequently, so it is best to call them at 336-667-7277 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.

Commissary

The commissary is the Wilkesboro Police Jail store. An inmate can buy several different things here, such as toiletries, snacks and writing supplies. Bear in mind that you will most likely need to buy things from the commissary on a daily basis, 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 sufficient funds in their trust account. These items include clothes, shoes, small snacks and other food items, as well as personal 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.

Phone Calls & Phone Usage Policy

The only phone calls that Wilkesboro Police Jail inmates are allowed to make are made through a jail approved pre-paid phone account or phone card .

If you break the rules and are disciplined, your ability to use the phone may be limited or eliminated completely, as part of the punishment.

How To Save Money on Inmate Calls

Correctional facility phone service companies have exclusive contracts at every 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 from all of the 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 Wilkesboro Police Jail. The prices are posted and there are at least two pricing tiers based on where the inmate is calling. These three factors 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.

For state prisons and local jails figuring out how to lower your inmates phone charges is more difficult. ArrestedResources.com keeps up to date with all of the changes that affect your inmate’s rate and in most cases is able to offer you an inmate calling number that will save you significantly on inmate phone calls.
