Sheriff – Jail Division – Frequently Asked Questions
How do I pick up inmate property?
An inmates personal property can be picked up between the hours of 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, except for county holidays. All property released must be accompanied by a property release card, filled out by the inmate, stating to whom the property is released to prior to releasing property.
The individual named on the release card must present State Issued Identification upon receipt of the property. If an inmate is transferred to another facility and can not take his/her property with them and the inmate does not make arrangement for the property to be picked up by another, the property will be destroyed or donated to indigent after thirty (30) days.
