Intake Procedures

The intake procedure at the Hamburg Police Jail includes each of these steps:

First, you will answer some simple questions, such as what is your legal name, address, date of birth and an emergency contact, and they’ll also ask you about your psychological and medical history. Next, you’ll be given an inmate ID number and you will be fingerprinted. Then, any personal property you have will get taken away from you and stored until you get discharged from jail.

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

If you are expected to be released quickly, you might be allowed to wear your own clothes, if not you you will have to change into a jail issued jumpsuit.

Discharge Procedures

Once bail has been posted, you will be allowed to go home after you get discharged. This process takes anywhere between 10 minutes to hours or even all day long. So, the quicker you post bail, the sooner you will get let go. How quickly you get discharged depends on whether or not you have a cash bond amount or if a judge needs to determine 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 expect to be discharged that 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 Hamburg Police Jail uses changes frequently, so it is best to call them at 716-649-3800 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 have a contract with, which means that they get to set the prices. The profits 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 Hamburg Police Jail. The prices are posted and there are at least two different prices 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 lower your inmates phone charges is more difficult. ArrestedResources.com keeps up to date with all of the changes that affect your inmate’s calling rate and in most cases is able to offer you an inmate calling number that will save you a lot of money on inmate phone calls.
