Yell County Jail Policies and Procedures

Intake Procedures

The jail intake process at the Yell County Jail takes you through each of these steps:

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

You have to answer a number of questions, such as what is your legal name, address, birth date and a contact person, and also, you will also be asked about your medical and psychological history. Next, you’ll be given an inmate ID and you will get fingerprinted. Then, all personal property will get taken away from you and will be stored until you are released.

They will let you use the telephone in order to contact family, friends, or loved one.

If you are expected to be released quickly, you might get to wear your street clothes, if not you you will have to wear a jumpsuit.

Discharge Procedures

Once you are able to post bail, you will be discharged from jail. Getting discharged from jail will take between 10 minutes to many hours. In other words the faster you can pay your bail, the quicker you will get discharged from jail. How quickly you get discharged might depend on whether you have a cash bond or if the judge needs to figure out the bail amount. For lesser charges, you will simply be booked and get released without having to post bail. When you have served your sentence and know the discharge date, you should plan to get 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.

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

These items include clothes, shoes, small snacks and other food items, in addition to 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.
