Pittsville Police Jail Policies and Procedures

Intake Procedures

The intake procedure at the Pittsville Police Jail includes these steps:

They’ll put you in a holding cell. If the jail is really busy, you will have to wait a while to get processed.

The first step is that you will answer some questions, like your full name, home address, birth date and an emergency contact, and they’ll also ask you about your medical and psychological history. Next, you will be issued an inmate ID number and you will be fingerprinted. Then, any personal property you have will be taken away from you and stored until you get discharged from jail.

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

If they expect that you will make bail and be released quickly, they will let you keep wearing street clothes, but if you are not expected to make bail quickly you will be issued a jail issued jumpsuit.

Discharge Procedures

When you finally post bail, you will be allowed to leave jail. Getting discharged from jail takes anywhere between 30 minutes to all day long. In other words the quicker bail is posted, the faster you will be released. How quickly you get discharged might depend on whether or not you’ve got a bond amount or if a judge still needs to figure out the amount of bail to be set.

When you have served out your jail sentence and know the release date, plan to be discharged anywhere between the hours of 9am and 12pm.

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.

The rates are posted and there are at least two types of prices based on where the inmate is calling. The following 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.
