Akron Police Jail Policies and Procedures

Intake Procedures

The jail intake process at the Akron Police Jail is made up of each of the following 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 will have to answer some basic questions, such as your legal name, home address, birth date and an emergency contact person, and also, you will also be asked about your medical and psychological history. Next, you will be issued an inmate ID number and you will get fingerprinted. Then, all of your personal property will be taken from you and stored until you are discharged.

You will then be allowed to make a telephone call so you can contact a member of your family, friend, or loved one.

If you think you will get released quickly, you might be allowed to keep wearing your own clothes, otherwise you will be issued a jail jumpsuit.

Discharge Procedures

Once you are able to post bail, you will get discharged from jail. Getting discharged from jail will take between 30 minutes to quite a few hours. In other words the faster you can post bail, the sooner you will get released. Also, how fast you get released depends on whether you’ve got a cash bond amount or if a magistrate needs to decide on the bail amount. For lesser charges, you will get booked and released on your own recognizance. When you get to the end of your sentence and know the date of your release, you should expect to get discharged that morning.

Money & Commissary

The procedure to send money to inmates might change, so check the Akron Police Jail website when you send funds to an inmate.

How To Send Money to an Inmate at Akron 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 Akron Police Jail uses changes frequently, so it is best to call them at 712-568-2041 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 Akron Police Jail store. Inmates can buy different things here, like toiletries, snacks and writing supplies. Keep in mind that you will most likely need to use the commissary daily, and any infractions will cause you to lose commissary privileges.

The Commissary will sell a selection of different products that the inmate can buy if they have money in their trust account. These products include clothes, shoes, small snacks and other food items, as well as personal 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. 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.

Phone Calls & Phone Usage Policy

The only phone calls that Akron Police Jail inmates are allowed to make are collect calls or through a pre-paid phone account . Jail phone calls are generally more costly than phone calls made at home. There are certain restrictions about when and how often you can use the phone, but inmates should keep in mind that a long line can form at the phones, because everyone wants to use the phone, too. If you break the rules and are disciplined, phone calls may be limited or totally denied.

How To Save Money on Inmate Calls

Correctional facility phone service companies have a monopoly at every facility that they operate, which means that they get to set the prices. The money these phone service providers make off of all inmate phone calls 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 Akron 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.

For the other correctional facilities like state prisons, and local and county 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 rate and in most cases is able to offer you an inmate calling number that will save you a lot of money on how much it costs you to call your inmate. There are some prisons or jails where we will not be able to save you any money, and therefore we will not offer you an inmate calling number. In cases like this, the jail has set their calling prices in a way that nobody will be able to save you money.
