Argonia Police Jail Policies and Procedures

Intake Procedures

The intake process at the Argonia Police Jail includes each of 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.

First you have to answer a number of questions, like what is your legal name, address, date of birth and an emergency contact person, and they’ll also ask about your medical and mental history. Next, you’ll be given an inmate number and your fingerprints will be taken. Then, all of your personal property will be taken from you and stored until you get discharged from jail.

You will get to use the telephone in order to talk to a member of your family, friend, or somebody else who can help you get out.

If you are expected to be released shortly, you might be able to keep wearing street clothes, otherwise you will be issued a jail issued jumpsuit.

Discharge Procedures

Once you are able to post bail, you will be allowed to go home after you get discharged. The discharge process will take anywhere between 30 minutes to all day. So, the quicker bail is posted, the sooner you will get out of jail. Also, how fast you get released might depend on whether or not you’ve been given a cash bond amount or if the magistrate has to figure out the amount of bail to be set. For minor charges, you will simply be booked and get released without having to post bail. If you have served a sentence in jail and are given a discharge date, expect to get released at any time that day – but usually in the morning.

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 Argonia Police Jail uses changes frequently, so it is best to call them at 620-435-6514 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.

How To Save Money on Inmate Calls

Correctional facility phone service providers have a monopoly at each facility that they operate the phone services for, which means that they they control the prices. The money these phone service providers make from all phone calls that inmates make 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 Argonia Police Jail. The prices are posted and there are at least two pricing tiers based on where the inmate is calling. The following three factors 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.

For state prisons and local jails finding out how to lower your inmates phone charges can be more difficult.
