Klamath County Jail Policies and Procedures

Intake Procedures

The jail intake process at the Klamath County Jail is made up of each of the following steps:

You will be placed in a holding cell. If the jail is really busy, it will take a while to get processed.

First, you will have to answer some basic questions, like your legal name, street address, birthdate and contact person, and they’ll also ask you about your psychological and medical history. Next, you will be issued an inmate number and you will get fingerprinted. Then, all personal property will be taken away from you and stored until you are discharged.

You will then be allowed to use the phone in order to call family, friends, or loved one.

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

Discharge Procedures

Once bail has been posted, you will get discharged from jail. This process will take from 30 minutes to hours or even all day long. Or, simply, the faster you post bail, the faster you will be freed. Also, how fast you get released will depend on whether you’ve got a cash bond amount or if the judge has to determine the bail amount. For lesser charges, you will simply be booked and then released on your recognizance without having to pay bail. When you have served your sentence and know the discharge date, you should plan to get discharged anywhere between the hours of 9am and 12pm.

How To Send Money to an Inmate at Klamath County 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 Klamath County Jail uses changes frequently, so it is best to call them at (541) 883-4197 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 Klamath County Jail store. Inmates can buy different things here, such as personal items, food, and things for writing. Bear in mind that you will probably need to buy things from the commissary every day, and any infractions will cause you to lose commissary privileges.

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

These three things 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.
