Steele Police Jail Policies and Procedures

Intake Procedures

The intake process at the Steele Police Jail takes you through these steps:

You will get put in a holding cell. If the jail is busy, you will have to wait a while to get processed.

The first step is that you will answer some questions, like your full legal name, home address, date of birth and contact person, and they’ll also ask you about your medical and psychological history. Next, you will be issued an inmate number and you will be fingerprinted. Then, all personal property will get taken away from you and stored until you get discharged from jail.

They will let you make a telephone call so you can get in touch with a member of your family, friend, or loved one.

If you think you will get released quickly, you might be able to skip the jumpsuit and keep wearing your own clothes, if not you you will have to wear a jail jumpsuit.

Discharge Procedures

Once you are able to post bail, you will get released from jail. Getting discharged will take between 30 minutes to all day long. In other words the faster you can pay your bail, the faster you can get out of jail. Also, how fast you get released will depend on if you have a cash bond or if the magistrate still needs to decide on how much your bail will be. For a minor offense, you will get booked and released on your own recognizance. When you have served your sentence and are given a date of your release, expect to be discharged that morning.

How To Send Money to an Inmate at Steele 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 Steele Police Jail uses changes frequently, so it is best to call them at 701-475-2700 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.

These products include clothes, shoes, small snacks and other food items, as well as 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.

How To Save Money on Inmate Calls

Correctional facility phone service companies have a monopoly at each facility that they operate, which means that they get to set the prices. The profits these phone service providers make from all of the 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 Steele Police Jail. The rates are posted and there are at least two different prices based on where the inmate is calling. These three things 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.

For state prisons and local jails figuring out how to decrease your inmates phone charges can be more difficult. ArrestedResources.com keeps up to date with all of the changes that affect your inmate’s calling rate and in most cases is able to offer you an inmate calling number that will save you a lot of money on inmate phone calls.
