Collins Police Jail Policies and Procedures

Intake Procedures

The jail intake procedure at the Collins Police Jail includes each of these steps:

They’ll put you in a holding cell. If there are a lot of arrests, you will have to wait a while to get processed.

The first step is that you will answer a bunch of questions, like your legal name, street address, date of birth and a contact person, and you will also be asked about your medical and mental history. Next, you’ll be given 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.

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

If they expect that you will make bail and be released quickly, they will let you wear your own clothes, otherwise you you will have to wear a jail uniform – the 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 from 15 minutes to hours or even all day long. In other words the faster you post bail, the sooner you will be released. How quickly you get discharged will depend on if you’ve got a cash bond or if the judge must decide on how much to set your bail at.

When you have completed your jail sentence and have a date of your release, plan to be discharged between 9am and noon.

How To Send Money to an Inmate at Collins 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 Collins Police Jail uses changes frequently, so it is best to call them at 912-693-2581 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 Collins Police Jail store. You can buy a number of things here, like toiletries, snacks and writing supplies. Bear in mind that you will probably want to use the commissary daily, and any infractions will get that privilege taken away from you.

The Commissary will sell an assortment of different products that the inmate can purchase if they have enough money in their trust account. These products include clothes, shoes, small snacks and other food items, as well as hygiene products like 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 companies have a monopoly at every facility that they have a contract with, which means that they they control the prices. The profits 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 Collins Police Jail. The rates are posted and there are at least two pricing tiers based on where the inmate is calling. These 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.
