Ripley Police Jail Policies and Procedures

Intake Procedures

The jail intake procedure at the Ripley Police Jail is made up of each of the following steps:

They’ll put you in a holding cell. If the jail is busy, you may not be processed immediately.

You must answer some simple questions, like what is your legal name, your address, birth date and an emergency contact, and they’ll also ask you about your medical and mental history. Next, you will be issued an inmate ID number and your fingerprints will be taken. Then, all personal property will get taken away from you and stored until you get released.

You will then be allowed to use the phone in order to talk to a family member, friend, or loved-on.

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

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 between 10 minutes to all day long. In simple terms, the faster you can pay your bail, the faster you will be freed. How quickly you get discharged will depend on if you have a bond amount or if a judge still needs to figure out your bail amount. For a minor charge, you will simply be booked and get released without having to post bail. When you have served out your jail sentence and are given a release date, you should plan to get released at any time that day – but usually in the morning.

Ripley Police Jail Visitation

Your visitors will be entered into a log of approved visitors for the requesting inmate. Each visitor has to provide identification. Anyone arriving late or any visitors that are not approved to visit will not be allowed to visit the inmate.

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 Ripley Police Jail uses changes frequently, so it is best to call them at 918-372-4287 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.

How To Save Money on Inmate Calls

Correctional facility phone service providers have exclusive contracts at each facility that they operate, which means that they they control the prices.

The prices are posted and there are at least two types of prices based on where the inmate is calling. These 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 the other correctional facilities like state prisons, and local and county jails finding out how to lower your inmates phone charges is more difficult.
