We are also trying to start a new program where the Inmate can request to set up an account with their Inmate Funds. The Inmate would have to put it in writing how much they would like to have on the Pre-Paid account along with the phone number they would be calling. You have to set up a different account for additional phone numbers. We will handle getting the funds to Consolidated. This Inmate would have access to the number immediately as soon as we set up the account.
Mail
Stamps, envelopes, paper and pens are available
for purchase from the commissary. Incoming mail will be delivered
to the inmates the same day it is received at the Adult Detention Center.
All incoming mail will be opened by staff and checked for contraband in
the presence of the inmate. Any money orders received will be credited
to the inmate's account, with a receipt given to the inmate. Other
contraband will be confiscated, and the inmate and sender notified in writing. Contraband that violates a law will be turned over to the evidence officer
and appropriate action will be taken by the staff member finding the contraband.
Incoming and outgoing mail may be read and rejected
if there is reliable information that there is a threat to facility order
and security, or that the mail is being used in the furtherance of illegal
activity.
Non-Pornographic magazines and periodicals sent
to inmates must be mailed from the publisher.
Packages are not permitted and will not be accepted.
C.O.D. mail will not be accepted.
No hard-back books will be accepted.
Granting
Emergency Leaves to Inmates Held at the Adult Detention Center
Emergency leave may be granted to pre-sentenced
prisoners when it is confirmed that there exists a serious illness or death
in the inmate's immediate family AND appropriate agency personnel are available
to provide continuous security. Emergency leave may only be considered
when the serious illness or death involves an inmate's parent, spouse,
brother, sister, grandparent, son or daughter. Immediate family members
do not include aunts, uncles, other relatives by marriage, nephews, nieces,
cousins or other relations.
Emergency leave will not be granted OR transportation
provided to sentenced inmates UNLESS directed by a court order. No
emergency leave will be authorized to locations outside Cherokee County.
Pre-sentenced inmates posing a threat to public
safety and/or who are currently on disciplinary lock-down will not be granted
emergency leave. Such a determination will be based upon an evaluation
of the charges for which the inmate is incarcerated and his/her behavior
record while at the ADC. Prisoners charged with a violent or sex
offense and/or who have attempted to escape from custody or otherwise
displayed disruptive/combative behavior toward agency employees and/or
other inmates, will not be authorized emergency leave.
A minimum of two deputies will be assigned to
provide security to inmates granted emergency leave within Cherokee County.
Inmates granted emergency leave may wear appropriate
civilian attire as provided by the family AND will be restrained with waist-chains,
leg irons and handcuffs during transport and visitations.
Either the inmate or family member may initiate
a written request to the Commander of the ADC for emergency leave to attend
a funeral or serious illness of an immediate family member.
The written request will provide sufficient information
to fully identify the deceased or seriously ill family member, the relationship
to the inmate, the specific medical condition and name of attending physician,
the location where the inmate is to be transported and any other information
deemed appropriate to substantiate the request.
The ADC Commander or his designee will advise
the individual who initiated the request for emergency leave of his final
decision.
All expenses associated with the transport and
security of inmates authorized emergency leave will be the responsibility
of the prisoner's family UNLESS it can be demonstrated that there in an
inability to pay because of a financial hardship or other mitigating circumstances.
