Mahomet Police Jail Policies and Procedures

Intake Procedures

The jail intake procedure at the Mahomet Police Jail is made up of these steps:

You will be placed 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 have to answer a bunch of questions, such as what is your full legal name, street address, birthdate and an emergency contact, and they’ll also ask you about your medical and psychological history. Next, you’ll be given an inmate ID number and you will be fingerprinted. Then, all of your personal property will get taken away from you and stored until you get released.

They will allow you to make a telephone call to call a family member, friend, or loved-on.

If they expect that you will make bail and be released quickly, you might be allowed to wear your street clothes, if not you will be issued a jail issued jumpsuit.

Discharge Procedures

When you pay your bail, you will get discharged from jail. Getting discharged from jail takes from 15 minutes to hours or even all day long. Or, simply, the faster you post bail, the quicker you can get out of jail. It also depends on whether or not you’ve got a cash bond or if the magistrate still needs to figure out how much to set your bail at. For a minor offense, you will get booked and then released on your recognizance without having to pay bail. If you have served a sentence in jail and have a date of your release, plan to get discharged at any time that day – but usually in the morning.

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.

How To Save Money on Inmate Calls

Correctional facility phone service providers have a monopoly at each facility that they are the exclusive phone provider for, which means that they get to set the prices. 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 Mahomet Police Jail. The rates are posted and there are at least two pricing tiers 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.
