All clothing is supplied by the jail and one set of outside clothing is kept with personal property items to be worn for court appearances and upon release, along with any other personal items that are present at the arrest. A telephone system is available to inmates that allows both voice and video calls through ViaPath Technologies. An account can be created and funded on their website, ensuring inmates can remain in contact with loved ones outside of the prison.
Visits are an important way for inmates to remain in contact with their friends and family and maintain outside relationships. These relationships can greatly increase the success that can be achieved after release and reduce their likelihood of returning to jail. General visits are conducted through the video system, while professional visits from lawyers, priests, and others have returned to in person.
Upon their incarceration each inmate will create a visitor list that includes people they will accept visits from, and people can be removed, or visits can be refused at any time.
Visitors can schedule a visit on the approved visiting days for the housing unit that is assigned. Those in the medical section will have visits on Tuesday and Thursday from 9am-10am. Other visitations occur Monday through Friday from 12:30-1:30pm, 1:45-2:45pm, 7-9:15pm, with E, F, M&P having Mondays, Q, R, L, O on Tuesdays, T, S, Q, R on Wednesday, P&M, E, F on Thursdays, and L, O, S, and T on Fridays.
After an arrest, individuals are taken to Cumberland County Prison for the booking process, where their identity is confirmed, charges are reviewed, and decisions are made about whether they will be released on bail or detained.
The arrested individual should remain silent during booking, as anything said could be used against them. It’s important to wait for legal representation before answering questions.
