A mugshot, or jail intake picture, is the picture that the police take when you get booked into jail. A mugshot is actually one and a side picture. Your name and jail booking number will appear on the mugshot, and they’re on file at the jail.

Mugshots of people who have been arrested can be found on the website, or you can view them at the Fremont County Detention Center. When viewing mugshots online you will have to put in the inmate’s name, and a booking date, if you have one.

Trying to figure out how to get your mugshot taken off of the Fremont County Detention Center site? This is difficult, as your mugshot is public record. You will need to file a Petition to Expunge in court. What this means is that all of your arrest records would be sealed, and will not be available to the public. Depending on your situation, this may be a longshot.

Naturally, if you are in jail, your main thought is about when you get out. After you’ve gone through the booking process, bail will be decided either through a preset bail schedule or a magistrate. If no bail is set this can mean that you will either be free to go until your court date, or you must remain in jail until your trial.

If you do bail out of jail you will have to agree to be there for your court date, and in the meantime you won’t be allowed to travel out of the county.

Usually, prisoners at Fremont County Detention Center will earn early release in exchange for good behavior when they don’t break the rules and conduct themselves properly while they’re in jail.

If you follow the rules, you might be given work release detail. Either you will have to go back to the jail each day when you’re finished at your job, or you may be allowed to sleep in a halfway house instead of living at the jail.

Your bail is how much money that you will be required to pay in order to be released from jail pending trial. The amount you will have to pay is determined by the crime you are charged with. Someone will have to pay to the courts ten percent of the total that was determined before you can be released. If you don’t go to your court date, the person that paid your bail will lose all of the bail money.

To find out someone’s bail amount you will need to call the Fremont County Detention Center or the County Courthouse. If know the pertinent information, like name, address and date of birth, they’ll let you know the bail amount. Also, you can see the bail amount on the Fremont County Detention Center website.

Needing to bail someone out of jail is never a fun thing, but most of the time, its simple to do if you have the money. To start with, you have to find out if it is a “Cash Bond Only” situation. If it is, you will not be able to use the services of a bondsman. Cash only – the jail can’t take a personal check. As soon as you’ve posted (paid) bond, the inmate will be released. If this person doesn’t violate any of the terms of their release, you’ll get your money back.

If the amount of bail set is large, or you can’t afford it, you might need to use a bail bondsman. Bail bondsmen will usually charge a fee of 10-15% of the total amount of bail set by the magistrate, and usually have a minimum fee of $100. The amount you pay to the bondsman will not be returned to you and the bondsman only accepts cash. If their bail has been set particularly high, the bondsman will in these cases request to use your assets as collateral for the bond.

Have you ever been arrested and gone through processing at jail? If so, please share your experience. How long did it take to get processed? How did the guards treat you? Do you know any things that will help other people that get arrested get through jail processing?

Speak Your Mind

When you finally post bail, you will be allowed to go home after you get discharged. Getting discharged from jail may take anywhere between 10 minutes to all day long. In other words the quicker you post bail, the faster you will be freed. How quickly you get discharged will depend on whether or not you’ve been given a bond amount or if the judge has to determine how much your bail will be. For minor charges, you will be booked and get released without having to post bail. When you get to the end of your sentence and know the release date, you should expect to get released that morning.

In the event there is a, or if you have to start your sentence, it is recommended that you do the right thing and turn yourself in. In the case of an outstanding warrant, go to the jail intake center, and tell someone that you think there is a warrant out for your arrest. They will check their system to see if there are any outstanding local, state or federal arrest warrants out for you, and if they find one, they will take you into custody and begin the intake process. When reporting to serve a sentence, report to the jail on the date and time that the sentence order states. Make sure that you aren’t late. Be sure to only bring required items when you turn yourself in, such as your driver’s license or even your ID, any prescription medication you might take, along with your doctor’s prescription, and a official sentencing order.

In order to have visitors, inmates have to give each visitor’s full name to the jail in advance of any visit. Your visitor’s information will be entered into a log of visitors as an authorized visitor. Each visitor will be required to provide a photo ID when visiting. Anyone that gets to visitation or any visitors that are not approved to visit will not be allowed to visit the inmate.
Visitation procedures can change, so we suggest that you double-check the official jail site before you try to go to visitation.

The only phone calls that inmates are allowed to make are collect calls or through a pre-paid phone account. Jail phone calls are generally more expensive than phone calls made outside of jail. Inmates are able to make phone calls, with restrictions on how often you can use the phone, but inmates should keep in mind that you are just one of many people who want to talk to their loved ones. If you are under any sort of disciplinary procedure, an inmate’s ability to use the phone might get cut back or eliminated altogether.

When you’ve been arrested, you should know you still have rights, the most important of which is the right to request a lawyer. You only get so many phone calls when you get arrested, so make sure to have a friend or relative locate a lawyer when you call them. You might be asking yourself ‘do I really need an attorney?’ You’re not required to have an attorney in all cases, a criminal attorney will make sure you know your rights, look after your best interests and help you navigate through the complicated legal system. The sooner you get a lawyer involved with your case, the better off you’ll be.

If you can’t afford a lawyer, you will be assigned a public defender. In addition, the Public Defender Office is staffed by independent investigators, crime scene and forensics experts as well as social case workers. Public Defenders are real attorneys who are admitted to the State Bar and are licensed to practice law as an agent of the court.

Have you or someone you know used a court appointed attorney? How did they do?

Fremont County court records are public and available to anyone who requests them. They include a case file containing a docket sheet and each of the documents that have been filed. You are able to access your court case records via the internet service, or at the Fremont County Clerk of Court.

Court fees and costs are the charges and fees from your case, which include filing fees, motion and claim fees, and court charges. If you cannot afford these fees and have a Public Defender, you can get a waiver for these fees and won’t have to pay them.

The Fremont County magistrate is the judge that rules over your case. Magistrate judges do many different things, like setting bail, issuing warrants for arrest, and acting as the presiding judge over first court appearances and detention proceedings.

A defendant’s pre-sentencing report is put together to include information about the arrestee’s background and as much detail about the defendant’s life and public history, which the magistrate will review and take into account when determining your sentence. Information, details, and character witnesses will be gathered from the person on trial, his or her family, and in some circumstances the victim. Be sure to remember that you should request to see your own copy of the pre-sentencing report prior to sentencing, so you have the opportunity to correct the mistakes.

If you get convicted of a crime, you will be given a sentence for your crime. The judge will have several different options when sentencing you, ranging from community service to probation, to even incarceration in jail or prison. Depending on the particulars of your trial, the severity of your crime, and any sentencing guidelines that they judge will use, you may be locked up immediately, or you could get a date that you must turn yourself into jail to serve your jail time according to your sentence.

Life In Jail / What Its Like

Daily Life

Everyone knows that spending time in Fremont County Detention Center is very scary, in time you will settle into the routine that is set for you. You should expect a wake-up alarm at 6:00am, and next they’ll do roll call. After roll call you will have breakfast. After breakfast, you will work 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 Fremont County Detention Center, 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 Fremont County Detention Center 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 funds to someone in jail might change, so be sure to double check the official website when 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.
