Springfield Police Jail Policies and Procedures

Intake Procedures

The jail intake process at the Springfield Police Jail takes you through each of these steps:

You will be placed in a holding cell. When the jail is busy, it will take a while to get processed.

You will answer some basic questions, such as what is your full legal name, street address, birth date and an emergency contact person, and they’ll also ask you about your medical and psychological history. Next, you will be issued an inmate number and your fingerprints will be taken. Then, all of your personal property will get taken away from you and stored until you get discharged from jail.

You will then be allowed to use the telephone to call a member of your family, friend, or loved one.

If you think you will get released quickly, you might get to skip the jumpsuit and keep wearing your own clothes, but if you are not expected to make bail quickly you you will have to change into a jail uniform.

Discharge Procedures

Once bail has been posted, you will get released from jail. Getting discharged from jail can take anywhere between 10 minutes to hours or even all day long. In simple terms, the faster you can post bail, the quicker you can get out of jail. It also depends on if you have a cash bond or if the magistrate has to figure out how much to set your bail at. For minor offenses, you will be booked and released on your own recognizance. When you have served your sentence and are given a release date, you should plan to be discharged that morning.

How To Send Money to an Inmate at Springfield 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 Springfield Police Jail uses changes frequently, so it is best to call them at 719-523-6241 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 Springfield Police Jail store. You can buy a number of things here, such as personal items, food, and things for writing. Remember that you will most likely want to use the commissary daily, and any infractions will cause you to lose commissary privileges.

The Commissary will sell an assortment of different items that inmates can purchase if they have enough money in their account. These products include clothes, shoes, small snacks and other food items, in addition to 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.

Phone Calls & Phone Usage Policy

The only phone calls that Springfield Police Jail inmates are allowed to make are collect calls or through a pre-paid phone account . Phone calls made in jail are much more costly than regular phone calls. Inmates are able to make phone calls, with restrictions on when you can make phone calls, how long you can talk, and how often you can make calls, but inmates must keep in mind that you are just one of many people who want to talk to their loved ones. If you are under any sort of disciplinary procedure, phone calls could be reduced or eliminated altogether.

How To Save Money on Inmate Calls

Correctional facility phone service providers have exclusive contracts at each facility that they operate the phone services for, which means that they they control the prices. The money these phone service providers make off of 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 Springfield 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 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 state prisons and local jails finding out how to decrease 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 calling 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 phone rates so high that nobody will be able to save you money.
