Personal Property and Money
PERSONAL PROPERTY & MONEY
Tobacco, clothing, health/hygiene articles, books, and other items are not accepted for inmates. Inmates are provided with clothing, bedding, towels, and a health/hygiene kit when they are booked into the facility.
Money will only be released within the first 48 hours of an inmate's arrival at the jail. After that time period, no money will be released from their account except to assist in posting bail. Any money released from an inmate’s account will be in the form of a check.
Except for bail purposes, deposits to a prisoner's account will only be accepted on visiting days, and only from a person who has completed a visit.
Once per week a prisoner may receive a money order or cashiers check through the mail for a maximum of $100.00
Money orders or cashier checks sent for an inmate through the mail must be made payable as follows:
Jackson County Jail for (insert inmate's name)
Money orders/Cashiers checks that are not filled out as specified above will not be cashed. They will be returned to the sender.
The only personal property that may be released are keys. All other property will be held until the inmate's release. Clothing may not be released.
DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS (PRISON) PERSONAL PROPERTY PROHIBITION:
Department of Correction's rules prohibit prisoners from possessing personal property unless prior authorization is obtained. Virtually all personal property (extra clothing, driver's license, watches, rings, books, magazines, etc.) must be discarded or mailed at the prisoner’s expense, out of the institution immediately upon their arrival.
When prisoners are sent to the Department of Corrections, they may choose to leave their property at the jail with a signed release form. It is then the responsibility of the inmate to contact the named recipient to pick up the property. Property is held for 72 hours before considered abandoned.
FEDERAL PRISONERS PROPERTY:
The United States Marshal’s Service (USMS) has set prisoner property control guidelines which parallel those of the Bureau of Prisons in order to minimize USMS and personal liability for lost property and to reduce handling requirements during prisoner transfers.
Personal property left in the Jackson County Jail will be considered abandoned and will be disposed of in accordance with policy and Oregon law
