Indiana Police Jail Policies and Procedures

Intake Procedures

The intake procedure at the Indiana Police Jail takes you through these steps:

You will be placed in a holding cell. If there are a lot of arrests, you will have to wait, sometimes for many hours, before you get processed.

The first step is that you will have to answer some basic questions, such as your full name, address, birthdate and an emergency contact, and you will also be asked about your mental and medical history. Next, you will be issued an inmate ID and you will get fingerprinted. Then, all personal property will be taken from you and stored until you get released from jail.

They will let you make a phone call to call family, friends, or loved one.

If you are expected to be released quickly, they will let you keep wearing street clothes, if not you you will have to change into a jail jumpsuit.

Discharge Procedures

Once you are able to post bail, you will be allowed to go home after you get discharged. This process may take between 30 minutes to many hours. So, the faster you can post bail, the sooner you can get out of jail. Also, how fast you get released can depend on whether or not you have a cash bond amount or if a judge has to figure out the amount of bail to be set. For minor offenses, you will be booked and then released on your recognizance without having to pay bail. When you have served your sentence and have a date of your release, you should plan to get discharged between 9am and noon.

Money & Commissary

The process for sending funds to inmates at the Indiana Police Jail change frequently, so we suggest that you review the Indiana Police Jail website before you send funds to an inmate there.

How To Send Money to an Inmate at Indiana 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 Indiana Police Jail uses changes frequently, so it is best to call them at 724-349-2121 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 Indiana Police Jail store. You can purchase several different things here, such as personal items, food, and things for writing. Bear in mind that you will probably need to use the commissary every day, and any infractions will cause you to lose commissary privileges.

The Commissary will sell an assortment of different products that inmates can buy if they have enough money in their commissary account. These items include clothes, shoes, small snacks and other food items, in addition to 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 Indiana Police Jail inmates are allowed to make are made through a jail approved pre-paid phone account or phone card . Phone calls made in jail are generally more costly than phone calls made at home. There is no limit to how often you can use the phone, but bear in mind that every inmate wants to use the phone too, so they can call their family. If you break the rules and are disciplined, your ability to use the phone might get cut back or eliminated completely, as part of the punishment.

How To Save Money on Inmate Calls

Correctional facility phone service companies have a monopoly at every facility that they operate, which means that they they control how much it costs to make phone calls. The profits these phone service providers make 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 Indiana Police Jail. The rates are posted and there are at least two different 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.
