Once you are arrested and put in jail, your primary thought is when and how to get out. After you’ve gone through the intake process, your bail amount will be set either through a preset bail schedule or a magistrate. If you don’t get a bail set this can mean that you will either be free to go until your court date, or you don’t get released while you wait for your court date.

If you are released you must promise to be there for your court date, and until then you are not allowed to go out of town.

In most cases, a prisoner are given time off in exchange for good behavior when they respect the rules and conduct themselves properly while they’re in jail.

If you follow the rules, you may be allowed to participate in a work release program. Either you will have to return to the jail at the end of the day when you’re finished working, or you could get to live in a halfway house instead of jail.

Your bail is how much money that you will be required to pay to get out of jail pending trial. The amount you will be required to pay all depends on the crime you’ve been charged with. You will need to pay to the courts 10 percent of the total amount that was set before you can be released. If you fail to show up for your court appearance, that person will lose that money.

In order to find out how much someone’s bail is, you must call the Broomfield Detention Facility or the County Courthouse. If know the person’s info, such as name, address and date of birth, they will be able to let you know how much their bail is. You can also check their bail amount and status online.

Posting bail to get out of jail is an unpleasant situation, but in some cases, its very simple to do. First of all, you need to know if it is a “Cash Bond Only” situation. If so, you can’t get a bondsman. Take cash only to the jail – they will not take checks. As soon as you’ve posted (paid) bond, the inmate will be released into your care. If this person doesn’t violate any of the terms of their release, the bail money you posted will be returned to you.

If the amount of bail set is large, or you can’t afford it yourself, you should try to hire a bail bondsman. Bondsmen generally charge you a fee of 10-15% of the total bail amount, and in most cases with a minimum fee of $100. This is non-refundable and bondsmen usually only accept cash. If the bail is extremely high, the bail bondsman might use assets as collateral for the bond in addition to whatever their charges are.

Information and personal details will be gathered from the defendant, his or her family members, and in some cases the victim. Keep in mind you are able to request to see your own copy of your pre-sentencing report before you are sentenced, and review it for accuracy and completeness, and correct any mistakes.

After being convicted of a crime, you will be sentenced. There are several different options for sentencing, ranging from community service and probation, to even incarceration in either jail (short term) or prison (long term). Depending on how serious your crime was, you might get taken into custody, right there in court, or you could get a date that you are required to turn yourself into jail to serve your jail term according to your sentence.

Life In Jail / What Its Like

Daily Life

Everyone knows that getting locked up in the Broomfield County jail is very scary, you will soon become accustomed to the routine that is set for you. You will get a wake-up alarm at 6:00 AM, and then roll call. Then you will get breakfast. Following breakfast you will be required to work in the program that has been assigned to you. 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 Broomfield Detention Facility, 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 Broomfield Detention Facility 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 process for sending money to jail inmates changes, so be sure to double check the official website before you send money to an inmate there.


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.
