Of course, once you are in jail, your only thought is when and how to get out. After you’ve gone through the booking process, your bail amount is determined either by bail schedule or magistrate. If there is no bail set this can mean that you will either get released, pending trial, or you must remain in jail until your trial.

If you do bail out you will have to promise to be in court on your court date, and until then you are not permitted to leave the county.

In most cases, a prisoner will be given time off for good behavior when they respect the rules and don’t cause any problems while they are in jail.

If you follow the rules, you might be allowed to do work release. You will have to go back to the jail each day when you’re finished at your job, or you may get to live in a halfway house instead of jail, so it is kind of like an early release.

Your bail is the amount of money that you have to pay to the court system to be released from jail until you go to court. The amount of bail that is set depends on the crime you are charged with. Someone you know will need to pay 10 percent of the total set before you can get out of jail. If you don’t go to court, the person that paid your bail will lose that money.

To find out how much bail money you will need to bail someone out of jail must call the jail. If you have all the person’s information, like name, address and date of birth, they will be able to let you know what their bail is set at. You can also find out how much their bail is on the Henrico County Regional Jail East site.

Having to bail a friend or family member out of jail is an unpleasant situation, but thankfully, its very simple to do. First, figure out if their bail is a Cash Only Bond. If this is the case, you won’t be able to use a Bail Bondsman. Cash only – they can’t accept a check. When you’ve paid bail, the inmate will get released. If this person doesn’t violate any of the terms of their release, the bail money you posted will be returned to you.

If bail is set too high, or you just can’t afford to pay it, you should use a bail bondsman. Bondsmen usually charge you a fee of 10 to 15 percent of the total amount of bail set by the magistrate, and sometimes charge a minimum of $100. The amount you pay to the bondsman will not be returned to you and is typically cash only. If the bail is exceptionally high, the bondsman will usually ask to use your personal assets as collateral.

Once you are able to post bail, you will get discharged from jail. The discharge process takes anywhere from 30 minutes to quite a few hours. In simple terms, the quicker you post bail, the quicker you will be freed. Also, it can depend on if you’ve been given a bond amount or if a magistrate has to decide on your bail amount. For a minor offense, you will be booked and then released on your recognizance without having to pay bail. If you have served a sentence in jail and have a date of your release, you should plan to be discharged at any time that day – but usually in the morning.

If the police have a, or if you need to begin your sentence in jail, it is recommended that you follow the law and turn yourself in willingly. In the case of an outstanding warrant, go to the jail intake center, and tell the intake officer that you think there is a warrant for your arrest. A record check will be run, and if they verify that you have one, they will take you into custody. If you are reporting to serve out your sentence, report to the jail on the date and time that the sentence order or court paperwork states. Be sure that you get don’t get there late, or they may decide to arrest you. Make sure that you only bring allowed items when you turn yourself in, like a driver’s license or ID, any prescription medication you might take, along with your doctor’s prescription, as well as a sentencing order.

Inmates have to give information about each visitor to the jail in advance of the visit. Your visitor’s names will be put in the visitors log for the inmate that requested the visitor.

Jail visitation policies are always changing, so we suggest that you double-check the official Henrico County Regional Jail East jail site before go to the jail to visit an inmate.

Jail phone calls are generally pricier than phone calls made outside of jail. There are certain restrictions about how often you can use the phone, but inmates must keep in mind lots of people want to use the phone – so you have to share. If you break the rules and are disciplined, your ability to use the phone may be limited or eliminated altogether.

Phone Number: 804-652-1211

All mail must be mailed using the actual US Postal Service, and not courier or delivery, or hand delivered. You can’t use any other method of mail or package delivery.

Do not mail anything in a package or box, padded envelope, plastic or paper bag, or an envelope containing metal parts.

The sooner you get a lawyer involved with your case, the better.

If you can’t afford a lawyer, a Public Defender will be assigned to you. Also, the Public Defender’s Office is staffed by investigators, forensics experts and case workers. Public Defenders are licensed attorneys that are members of the Virginia State Bar and are completely licensed to practice law and represent you in court.

Have you or someone you know had to use a Public Defender? Do you think that they did a good job of defending you?

The magistrate is the judge who presides over your court case. Magistrates do different functions, which include setting bail amounts, writing arrest warrants, and overseeing preliminary court proceedings and detention hearings.

Your pre-sentencing report is completed to include information about your background and details of the arrestee’s life and history, which the magistrate will review when decide your sentence. Information will be requested from the defendant, his or her family, and if necessary the victim in the crime. Keep in mind that you should ask to have a copy of your pre-sentencing report prior to sentencing, and review it and correct any mistakes.

After being convicted of a crime, you will be given a sentence for your crime. The presiding judge in your case will weigh several options when determining your sentence, ranging from community service to probation, to prison or jail time. Depending on how serious your crime was, you may be taken into custody immediately, or you could get a date that you are supposed to turn yourself into jail to serve your jail term according to your sentence.

Life In Jail / What Its Like

Daily Life

Just the thought of being incarcerated in Henrico County Regional Jail East is very scary, you will soon get used to the daily routine. You will get an alarm to wake up each morning at 6am, and then roll call. You will then have breakfast. After breakfast, participate in the work program that you’ve been assigned to. This could be working in the kitchen, laundry, or some sort of manufacturing job. While this may seem tedious, it may help you when you leave jail, as you are gaining experience in a certain field of work. Other inmates go to school, while some take part in mandated treatment programs. After lunch, there will be another roll call, then back to work. Your evening will be spent either in your cell or a common room. During this time dinner is served and you will be expected to take a shower. After another roll call, it’s lights out. Even though you will be confined to your cell, there may be enough light to read or write letters. Then again, most inmates welcome lights out, and try to get as much sleep as they can.

Most people are frightened at the idea of jail because they don’t know what to expect. If you have spent any time in Henrico County Regional Jail East, your experiences would be welcomed, if it can help another person to deal with it.

Dress Code

When incarcerated, all inmates are expected to wear the Henrico County Regional Jail East uniform. This is normally a jumpsuit or scrubs. Of note to anyone visiting an inmate – you must be properly dressed. Any clothing considered inappropriate will not be permitted.

How To Send Money to an Inmate

You will have your own ‘bank account’ while in jail. This money is used to purchase items from the Commissary. Family and friends can deposit money into this account for you, and any money you earn while in prison will also be deposited into your account. Outside money can be paid in to your account via a money order, cash or check. If someone sends a check or money order, make sure that they write your inmate ID on it. The maximum amount you are allowed in your account is $290 per month.

The rules for sending money to inmates at Henrico County Regional Jail East could change, so you should double check the the Henrico County Regional Jail East website before you send any money.


Commissary

The commissary is the jail store. You can purchase a number of things here, such as toiletries, snacks and writing supplies. Bear in mind that you will probably want to use the commissary daily, and any infractions will get that privilege taken away from you.

Inmate Medications

If you are on any type of prescription medication, you will be allowed to continue taking it while in jail. When you are first processed, you will be asked what medication you take. You will then be referred to the jail nurse or doctor who will be in charge of monitoring your health and prescribing your medication.

Meals

You will get three meals a day: breakfast, lunch and dinner. As expected, they are very basic, but healthy. A typical breakfast might be cereal, toast, coffee and fruit. Lunch might be spaghetti, salad, bread and milk. Dinner could be chicken casserole, rice, vegetables, dessert and milk. Contrary to popular belief, prison food has greatly improved over the years, and you might find that it’s not much different from what you would eat at home.

Pods / The Yard

The jail is designed in a ‘pod’ layout, with self-contained housing arranged around an outdoor yard. Each pod has a central control station and a common room, and the inmates take turns in using the yard. The jail is designed this way to keep certain inmates together, and others away from the general population.

Gangs

As with life in general, gangs are a part of prison life. Obviously it is best to avoid becoming a part of this environment as it will only lead to trouble. When you first enter prison, you might find yourself being ‘primed’ to join a gang, or worse, you might get their attention in a negative way. The best thing to do is keep your head down and don’t get involved.
