Intake Procedures

The jail intake process at the Elizabeth Police Jail is made up of each of the following steps:

You will be placed in a holding cell. If the jail is really busy, you will have to wait, sometimes for many hours, before you get processed.

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

If you think you will get released quickly, you might be able to wear your own clothes, but if you are not expected to make bail quickly you will be issued a jail uniform – the jumpsuit.

Discharge Procedures

Once bail has been posted, you will be allowed to leave jail. Getting discharged will take anywhere from 10 minutes to quite a few hours. In simple terms, the faster you can pay your bail, the quicker you will get discharged. How quickly you get discharged might depend on if you’ve got a cash bond amount or if a judge has to figure out your bail amount. For minor charges, you will get booked and then released on your recognizance without having to pay bail. If you have served a sentence in jail and are given a release date, you should expect to be released at any time that day – but usually in the morning.

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.

How To Save Money on Inmate Calls

Correctional facility phone service companies have a monopoly at each facility that they operate, which means that they they control how much it costs to make phone calls. The profits off of all of the inmate phone calls are split 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 Elizabeth Police Jail. The prices are posted and there are at least two types of prices 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.

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 calling your inmate.
