Intake Procedures

The jail intake procedure at the Hardin Police Jail is made up of each of the following steps:

They’ll put you in a holding cell. If there are a lot of arrests, you may not be processed immediately.

First, you will answer some simple questions, such as your full name, your address, date of birth and contact person, and you will also be asked about your medical and mental history. Next, you’ll be given an inmate ID and your fingerprints will be taken. Then, any personal property you have will be taken away from you and will be stored until you are released.

They will let you use the telephone so you can get in touch with a member of your family, friend, or somebody else who can help you get out.

If they expect that you will make bail and be released quickly, you will be allowed to skip the jumpsuit and keep wearing your own clothes, otherwise you you will have to wear a jail uniform.

Discharge Procedures

Once bail has been posted, you will be discharged from jail. Getting discharged from jail may take between 15 minutes to quite a few hours. In simple terms, the faster bail is posted, the faster you will get out of jail. How quickly you get discharged can depend on whether you’ve been given a bond amount or if a judge has to decide on the bail amount. For a minor charge, you will be booked and get released without having to post bail. If you have served a sentence in jail and know the discharge date, expect to be released at any time that day – but usually in the morning.

How To Send Money to an Inmate at Hardin 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 Hardin Police Jail uses changes frequently, so it is best to call them at 618-576-9500 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.

These items include clothes, shoes, small snacks and other food items, as well as hygiene products like soap, shampoo, and disposable razors for shaving.

How To Save Money on Inmate Calls

Correctional facility phone service companies have exclusive contracts at each facility that they have a contract with, which means that they they control how much it costs to make phone calls. The money these phone service providers make from all of the inmate phone calls are shared 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 Hardin Police Jail. The prices are posted and there are at least two different prices based on where the inmate is calling. These three things 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 is an expert in keeping up 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 calling your inmate.
