Boswell Police Jail Policies and Procedures

Intake Procedures

The jail intake process at the Boswell Police Jail takes you through each of the following 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.

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

You will then be allowed to use the telephone so you can get in touch with a member of your family, friend, or somebody else who can help you get out.

If you think you will get released quickly, you might be able to keep wearing street clothes, if not you you will have to change into a jail issued jumpsuit.

Discharge Procedures

When you finally post bail, you will get discharged from jail. This process will take anywhere between 30 minutes to all day. In simple terms, the faster you can pay your bail, the faster you will get released. It also might depend on whether or not you’ve got a cash bond amount or if the magistrate needs to decide on the amount of bail to be set. For minor charges, you will simply be booked and get released without having to post bail. When you get to the end of your sentence and have a date of your release, expect to be released that morning.

The procedure to send money to people in jail could change, so we suggest that you double check the Boswell Police Jail site before you send funds to an inmate.

How To Send Money to an Inmate at Boswell 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 Boswell Police Jail uses changes frequently, so it is best to call them at 765-869-5951 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 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

The commissary is the Boswell Police Jail store. An inmate can buy several different things here, like 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 get that privilege taken away from you.

The Commissary will sell a selection of different products that inmates 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 hygiene products including 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.

How To Save Money on Inmate Calls

Correctional facility phone service providers have a monopoly at each facility that they have a contract with, which means that they they control how much it costs to make phone calls. The profits from all inmate phone calls 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 Boswell Police Jail. The rates 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.
