Conrad Police Jail Policies and Procedures

Intake Procedures

The intake process at the Conrad Police Jail includes these steps:

You will be placed in a holding cell. If the jail is really busy, you will have to wait a while to get processed.

The first step is that you will have to answer some basic questions, such as what is your full legal name, your address, date of birth and contact person, and they’ll also ask about your medical and mental history. Next, you will be issued an inmate ID number and your fingerprints will be taken. Then, all of your personal property will get taken away from you and will be stored until you are released.

You will be allowed to use the telephone in order to contact 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 be allowed to keep wearing your own clothes, but if you are not expected to make bail quickly you will be issued a jail issued jumpsuit.

Discharge Procedures

Once you are able to post bail, you will be allowed to leave jail. This process will take anywhere from 30 minutes to quite a few hours. In other words the faster you post bail, the faster you can get released from jail. Also, how fast you get released depends on if you’ve got a cash bond or if the magistrate has to figure out your bail amount. For a minor offense, you will get booked and released on your own recognizance. If you have served a sentence in jail and know the discharge date, you should plan to get discharged in the morning.

How To Send Money to an Inmate at Conrad 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 Conrad Police Jail uses changes frequently, so it is best to call them at 406-271-5723 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 Conrad Police Jail store. You can purchase a number of things here, like personal items, food, and things for writing. Keep in mind that you will most likely want to buy things from the commissary daily, 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 trust account. These items include clothes, shoes, small snacks and other food items, as well as hygiene products such as 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.

How To Save Money on Inmate Calls

Correctional facility phone service providers have a monopoly at each facility that they operate, which means that they get to set the prices. The profits off of all of the inmate phone calls 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 Conrad Police Jail. The prices are posted and there are at least two pricing tiers based on where the inmate is calling. The following 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 finding 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 how much it costs you to call your inmate.
