Bloomfield Police Jail Policies and Procedures

Intake Procedures

The intake process at the Bloomfield Police Jail is made up of these steps:

You will be placed in a waiting area or cell. If the jail is busy, you will have to wait, sometimes for many hours, before you get processed.

You will answer some questions, such as what is your legal name, address, birth date and an emergency contact, and they’ll also ask about your medical and psychological history. Next, you’ll be given an inmate number and you will get fingerprinted. Then, any personal property you have will be taken away from you and stored until you are released.

They will let you use the phone to 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 might be able to keep wearing your own clothes, but if you are not expected to make bail quickly you you will be given a jail uniform.

Discharge Procedures

Once you are able to post bail, you will be allowed to go home after you get discharged. The discharge process may take between 10 minutes to quite a few hours. Or, simply, the faster bail is posted, the faster you will be released. Also, it can depend on whether or not you have a cash bond or if a judge must figure out how much your bail will be. For lesser charges, you will get booked and get released without having to post bail. When you have served out your jail sentence and are given a discharge date, plan to be released anywhere between the hours of 9am and 12pm.

Money & Commissary

The procedure to send funds to people in jail could change, so we suggest that you visit the Bloomfield Police Jail site before send money to someone in jail there.

How To Send Money to an Inmate at Bloomfield 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 Bloomfield Police Jail uses changes frequently, so it is best to call them at 573-568-3576 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 Bloomfield Police Jail store. Inmates can buy different things here, like toiletries, snacks and writing supplies. Remember that you will probably need to buy things from the commissary on a daily basis, 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 sufficient funds in their 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.

Phone Calls & Phone Usage Policy

Calls made in jail are a lot more expensive than phone calls made at home.

If you break the rules, an inmate’s ability to use the phone might get cut back or forbidden.

How To Save Money on Inmate Calls

Correctional facility phone service providers have a monopoly at every facility that they are the exclusive phone provider for, 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 Bloomfield Police Jail. The rates are posted and there are at least two types of prices 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.
