Bend Police Jail Policies and Procedures

Intake Procedures

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

You will be placed in a holding cell. If the jail is busy, you will have to wait, sometimes for many hours, before you get processed.

The first thing you will have to to is you have to answer a bunch of questions, like what is your full legal name, home address, birthdate and an emergency contact person, and you will also be asked about your mental and medical history. Next, you will be issued an inmate ID and you will be fingerprinted. Then, any personal property you have will be taken away from you and stored until you get released.

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

If you think you will get released quickly, you might get to keep wearing your own clothes, but if you are not expected to make bail quickly you you will have to wear a jail uniform – the jumpsuit.

Discharge Procedures

When you finally post bail, you will get discharged from jail. This process can take between 15 minutes to quite a few hours. Or, simply, the faster bail is posted, the sooner you will get discharged from jail. How quickly you get discharged depends on if you have a cash bond or if the judge needs to decide on the amount of bail to be set. For a minor charge, you will be booked and get released without having to post bail. When you have completed your jail sentence and have a date of your release, expect to get released at any time that day – but usually in the morning.

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 Bend Police Jail uses changes frequently, so it is best to call them at 541-322-2960 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 Bend Police Jail store. Inmates can buy a number of things here, such as toiletries, snacks and writing supplies. Remember that you will probably need to use the commissary every day, and any infractions will get that privilege taken away from you.

The Commissary will sell an assortment of different items that the inmate can purchase if they have enough money in their commissary account. These items 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. 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 providers have a monopoly at each facility that they are the exclusive phone provider for, which means that they they control how much it costs to make phone calls. The money these phone service providers make 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 Bend Police Jail. The prices are posted and there are at least two pricing tiers 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.
