You will be placed in a waiting area or cell. When the jail is busy, you will have to wait a while to get processed.

You have to answer a number of questions, such as your full name, street address, birth date and an emergency contact person, and they’ll also ask about your medical and mental history. Next, you will be issued an inmate ID and your fingerprints will be taken. Then, all personal property will be taken away from you and stored until you are released.

You will then be allowed to use the telephone so you can talk to a family member, friend, or loved-on.

If they expect that you will make bail and be released quickly, they will let you wear your own clothes, otherwise you will be issued a jail uniform – the jumpsuit.

Discharge Procedures

Once bail has been posted, you will be allowed to go home after you get discharged. This process can take between 10 minutes to quite a few hours. In simple terms, the faster bail is posted, the faster you will be released. Also, how fast you get released can depend on whether you’ve been given a bond amount or if the magistrate has to determine your bail amount. For minor charges, you will be booked and get released without having to post bail.

How To Send Money to an Inmate at Crescent City 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 Crescent City Police Jail uses changes frequently, so it is best to call them at 386-698-1211 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 providers have a monopoly at every facility that they operate the phone services for, which means that they get to set the prices. The profits off of all 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 Crescent City Police Jail. The rates are posted and there are at least two types of prices based on where the inmate is calling. 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.

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 state prisons and local jails figuring out how to decrease your inmates phone charges is more difficult. ArrestedResources.com keeps up to date 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 significantly on calling your inmate. There are some circumstances where we will not be able to save you any money, and therefore we will not offer you an inmate calling number. In these cases, the jail or prison has set their calling prices so high that nobody can save you money.
