Intake Procedures

The intake procedure at the Wake Forest Police Jail takes you through these steps:

They’ll put you in a holding cell. If the jail is really busy, you will have to wait, sometimes for many hours, before you get processed.

First, you will have to answer a bunch of questions, like what is your full name, home address, birth date and an emergency contact, and they’ll also ask about your mental and medical history. Next, you’ll be given an inmate number and your fingerprints will be taken. Then, any personal property you have will be taken away from you and stored until you are discharged.

They will allow you to make a telephone call in order to contact a member of your family, friend, or somebody else who can help you get out.

If you think you will get released quickly, you will be allowed to wear your street clothes, otherwise you you will have to change into a jail uniform – the jumpsuit.

Discharge Procedures

When you post bail, you will be allowed to leave jail. The discharge process will take from 15 minutes to quite a few hours. Or, simply, the quicker you post bail, the sooner you will be freed.

When you have served your sentence 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 Wake Forest 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 Wake Forest Police Jail uses changes frequently, so it is best to call them at 919-554-6150 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 Wake Forest Police Jail store. Inmates can buy a number of things here, such as personal items, food, and things for writing. Remember that you will most likely need to use the commissary on a daily basis, and any infractions will get that privilege taken away from you.

The Commissary will sell a selection of different products that inmates can buy if they have enough money in their commissary account. These items include clothes, shoes, small snacks and other food items, in addition to personal hygiene products like 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 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.
