Intake Procedures

The intake procedure at the Swansboro Police Jail is made up of these steps:

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

First, you will answer some questions, like your full name, home address, birth date 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 get fingerprinted. Then, all personal property will be taken away from you and stored until you get discharged from jail.

You will get to make a phone call to talk to a member of your family, friend, or somebody else who can help you get out.

If you are expected to be released shortly, you might get to skip the jumpsuit and keep wearing your own clothes, but if you are not expected to make bail quickly you you will have to wear a jail issued jumpsuit.

Discharge Procedures

When you post bail, you will be allowed to leave jail. This process takes anywhere between 10 minutes to hours or even all day long. In simple terms, the quicker bail is posted, the quicker you will get out of jail. It also depends on if you’ve been given a cash bond or if the magistrate needs to determine your bail amount. For lesser charges, you will get booked and get released without having to post bail. When you get to the end of your sentence and know the discharge date, plan to get released that morning.

How To Send Money to an Inmate at Swansboro 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 Swansboro Police Jail uses changes frequently, so it is best to call them at 910-326-5151 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.

Commissary

The commissary is the Swansboro Police Jail store. You can buy a number of things here, such as toiletries, snacks and writing supplies. Bear in mind that you will most likely need to use the commissary daily, and any infractions will cause you to lose commissary privileges.

These products include clothes, shoes, small snacks and other food items, in addition to 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.
