If you’re in jail, your main thought is about when you get out. After you’ve gone through the booking process, bail is determined by a special judge called a magistrate. If you don’t get a bail set this can mean that you will either be released on your ‘own recognizance’ until your court date, or you don’t get released while you wait for your court date.

If you are released you are required to agree to be there for your court date, and you must not leave the county.

Usually, an inmate at Flagler County Jail will earn time off in exchange for good behavior if they don’t break the rules and act right while incarcerated.

If you follow the rules, you might be given work release detail. You will either have to stay jail each day when you’re finished with work, or you may be permitted to sleep in a halfway house when you are not working.

Bail is the amount of money that you have to pay to the courts to be released from jail until you go to court. Your bail amount is dictated by the crime you’ve been charged with. You will need to post 10% of the amount that was set so you can be released from jail. If you miss your scheduled court date, the person that paid your bail won’t get their money back.

You have to call the jail or the county courthouse. If you have all the person’s info, including name, address and date of birth, they’ll be able to let you know the bail amount. Also, you can check their bail amount and status on the Flagler County Jail website.

Having to bail someone out of jail is no fun, but usually, its really easy. First, you need to know if it is a “Cash Bond Only” situation. If this is the case, you can’t use a bail bondsman. They only accept cash at the jail, so you have to take cash – they won’t accept checks. As soon as you’ve paid the bail bond, the prisoner will be discharged. If this person doesn’t violate any of the terms of their release, you’ll get the bail money back.

If the amount of bail set is large, or you just don’t have the money, you should try to hire a bail bondsman. Bondsmen will usually charge a fee of 10-15% of total bail, and in most cases have a minimum charge of $100. The amount you pay to the bondsman is non-refundable and the bondsman only accepts cash. If bail is very large, the bondsman will in most cases request to use assets as collateral for the bond in addition to whatever their charges are.

When you pay your bail, you will be discharged from jail. This process may take anywhere from 15 minutes to hours or even all day long. In simple terms, the faster you can post bail, the faster you will get let go. How quickly you get discharged will depend on whether or not you have a cash bond or if the magistrate still needs to decide on the bail amount. For minor charges, you will get booked and released on your own recognizance. When you have served your sentence and are given a release date, you should plan to get discharged between 9am and noon.

for your arrest, or if you need to begin your jail sentence, you really should do the right thing and turn yourself in willingly. If it is for a warrant, go to the jail intake area, and tell someone that think that there is a warrant for your arrest. They will do a record check, and if there is one, they will ask that you surrender yourself and you will be taken into custody. If you have a jail sentence to serve, go to the jail on the date and time that the sentence order states. Make sure that you are not late. Make sure that you only bring allowed items when you turn yourself in, such as a driver’s license or photo ID, prescription medication, and a official sentencing order.

In order to have visitors, inmates need to provide each visitor’s full name to the jail in advance. Your visitors will be entered into a log of visitors as an approved visitor.

Information and personal details will be solicited from the defendant, his or her family members, and, if applicable, the victim. Be sure to remember you are allowed to request to get your own copy of the pre-sentencing report prior to sentencing, and review it for accuracy and completeness, and correct any mistakes.

If you get 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, which include community service and probation, to prison or jail time.

Life In Jail / What Its Like

Daily Life

Everyone knows that being incarcerated in the Flagler County jail is quite unpleasant, in time you will become accustomed to the routine that is set for you. All inmates get an alarm to wake up each morning at six in the morning, and next you’ll have roll call. After roll call you will get breakfast. When you finish eating breakfast you will 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 Flagler County Jail, 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 Flagler County Jail 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 inmates at Flagler County Jail could change, so we suggest that you double check the official website before you send money to an inmate.


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.
