A mugshot, also called a jail booking photo, is a photograph that the jail takes when you are booked into jail. A mugshot is made up of one full face photo and a profile picture. Your name and booking number will be in the mugshot, and they are on file at the jail.

Mugshots of Trinity County Corrections prisoners can be seen on the website, or you can view them at the Trinity County Corrections. When viewing online you need to input their name, and an arrest date.

Want to get your mugshot taken down from the Trinity County Corrections website? This will be difficult, because the mugshot is a matter of public record. To get your mugshot removed you need to file a Petition to Expunge with the court. Basically, this means that the record of your arrest would be sealed, so no one will be able to access them. Depending on your situation, this may be a longshot.

Once you’re in jail, your only thought is about getting out. After you’ve gone through the booking process, bail will be set by the magistrate. In cases where no bail is set this might mean that you will either be released on your ‘own recognizance’ until your court date, or you are kept in jail until your court date.

If you do bail out you are required to promise to be in court on your court date, and in the meantime you must not travel out of the county.

Usually, prisoners are given time off in exchange for good behavior when they respect the rules and conduct themselves properly while in jail.

If you follow the rules, you might be allowed to participate in work release. You will either have to return to jail every day after work, or you could be permitted to move to a halfway house when you are not working.

Your bail is money that you have to pay to the court system to be released from jail pending trial. The amount you will have to pay all depends on the crime you’ve been charged with. Someone will have to put up 10 percent of the total amount that was set so you are able to be released. If you fail to show up for your court appearance, whoever paid your bail will lose that bail money.

To find out how much bail money you will need to bail someone out of jail will have to call the Trinity County Corrections. If you’ve got the person’s info, including name, address and date of birth, they will be able to let you know the bail amount. You can also check their bail amount and status on the jail website.

Needing to bail someone out of jail is never a fun thing, but most of the time, it is easy. To start with, figure out if their bail is a Cash Only Bond situation. If this is the case, you will not be able to use the services of a Bail Bondsman. Cash only – the jail will not accept a check. As soon as you’ve posted (paid) bond, the inmate will be released. If the conditions of bail are not violated, you will get this money back.

If their bail has been set too high, or you can’t afford it, you should try a bail bondsman. They will usually charge you a fee of 10 to 15 percent of the total amount of bail set, and in most cases have a minimum of $100. The money you pay to the bail bondsman will not be returned to you and is typically cash only. If their bail has been set particularly high, the bondsman may request to use your assets, such as home, property or cars, as collateral for the bond.

Once bail has been posted, you will get released from jail. This process can take from 15 minutes to quite a few hours. In simple terms, the faster you can post bail, the faster you will get let go. Also, it depends on whether or not you’ve got a cash bond amount or if the magistrate still needs to figure out how much your bail will be. For lesser charges, you will be booked and released on your own recognizance.

Ensure that you are not late. Just bring necessary items with you, such as your driver’s license or ID, prescription medication, and a copy of the sentencing order.

Life In Jail / What Its Like

Daily Life

Just the thought of serving a jail sentence in Trinity County Corrections is very scary, you will soon become accustomed to the daily routine there. You should expect a wake-up alarm each morning at six in the morning, and then roll call. Next, you will eat breakfast. Following breakfast you will be required to work in the work program or other activity that you are assigned. 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 Trinity County Corrections, 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 Trinity County Corrections 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 procedure to send money to Trinity County Corrections inmates is always changing, so you should review the site 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.
