How can I get money to an inmate?

How do I sign out an inmate's property?

To sign out an inmates property, you must come to the facility and present identification. The owner of the property must then confirm they want to sign their property out to you. Clothes the incarcerated wore in may not be signed out, only safe property and excess property.

I know someone who is being booked in; now what?

Each new inmate will be entitled to two (2) free five (5) minute phone calls upon intake. All additional calls must be collect or through their inmate account on Telmate.
They will see pretrial services within 24 hours of their intake. The pretrial officer will contact the judge and set the inmates bond according to their criminal history and security risk. They will then remain in custody until the bond is posted or their arraignment court date. The court dates for arraignment are as follows:

Monday - 11:00 AM
Wednesday - 9:00 AM
Friday - 9:30 AM

If the inmate is in custody and attends their arraignment at the facility, they must first wait for a docket to come back from the clerk's office verifying their bond/ sentence before they are released.
