Naturally, once you’re locked up, your primary thought is about when and how you will get out. After you’ve gone through the booking process, bail will be determined either through a preset bail schedule or a magistrate. If you don’t get a bail set this may mean that you will either be released on your ‘own recognizance’ until your court date, or you must remain in jail until your trial.

If you are released you will have to agree to be there for your court date, and you won’t be allowed to leave the area.

In most cases, prisoners in the Kingman County Jail are given time off for good behavior when they don’t break the rules and act right while they are in jail.

If you follow the rules, you may be granted work release. You will be required to return to the jail each day when you’re finished working, or you might get to move to 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 get out of jail pending trial. The amount of bail that is set all depends on what crime you are charged with and how serious it is. Someone you know will need to put up ten percent of the total set so you can get out of jail. If you don’t show up for your court date, the person that paid your bail will lose all of the bail money.

To find out someone’s bail amount you have to call the Kingman County Jail. If you have all the person’s information, such as name, address and date of birth, they will let you know how much their bail is. Also, you can see the bail amount on the jail website.

Having to bail a friend or family member out of jail is no fun, but in some cases, its simple to do if you have the money. First of all, find out if they have a “Cash Bond Only”. If it is, you will not be able to use the services of a bail bondsman. They only accept cash at the jail, so you have to take cash – the jail will not accept a personal check. Once you have paid the bond, the inmate will be discharged. 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, you should look into the services of a bail bondsman. Bail bondsmen usually charge you a fee of 10-15% of the bail amount, and sometimes with a minimum of $100. This will not be returned to you and is typically cash only. If their bail has been set particularly high, the bondsman might require that they use your personal assets as collateral for the bond in addition to their charges.

You can find a bail bondsman visit our page about: Bail bondsman

• Also, you will also be asked about your medical and psychological history.
• You will be given an inmate ID.
• You will be fingerprinted.
• They will take your mugshot.
• All of your personal property will be taken from you and stored until you get released from jail.
• You will be allowed to make a telephone call in order to talk to a member of your family, friend, or bondsman to arrange bail.

When you pay your bail, you will be discharged from jail. This process will take between 10 minutes to hours or even all day long. In other words the faster bail is posted, the faster you can get released from jail. It also might depend on whether you’ve got a bond amount or if the magistrate must figure out your bail amount. For a minor charge, you will get booked and released on your own recognizance. When you have served your sentence and have a date of your release, expect to get released in the morning.

for your arrest, or if you have to report to start a sentence, it is highly advisable that you follow the rules and go down to the jail and turn yourself in. If you have a warrant, report to the jail reception area, and tell them that think that there is a warrant out for your arrest. They will do a record check, and if they verify that you have one, they will take you into custody. If it is for a jail sentence, report to the jail at the exact time and date that the sentence order requires you to. Ensure that you aren’t late. Make sure that you only bring necessary items with you, for example a driver’s license or even your ID, prescription medication, and a sentencing order.

In order to have visitors, inmates must give each visitor’s full name to the jail in advance. Your visitors will go into a log of approved visitors as an Authorized visit. All visitors will be required to provide a photo ID when visiting. Anyone that gets to visitation or that is not an approved visitor will not be able to attend visitation.
Visitation procedures change often, so make sure that you check the jail site before you go.

Phone calls that inmates are allowed to make from jail are made through a jail approved pre-paid phone account or phone card . Calls made in jail are much more expensive than phone calls made outside of jail. Phone calls are restricted on how often you can use the phone, but you should keep in mind that every inmate wants to use the phone too, so they can call their family. If you break the jail rules, an inmate’s phone privileges could be reduced or totally denied.

Phone Number: (620) 532-5133

All mail is required to be sent using US Postal Service. You shouldn’t use any other method of mail or package delivery. You must write the inmate’s name, inmate ID number, and jail address on the letter. Do not mail anything in a box, envelope with padding or insulation, bag, or an envelope with metal inside.

You only get so many phone calls when you get arrested, so make sure to get a friend or family member to locate a lawyer for you. I know you’re probably asking yourself right now ‘but do I really need a lawyer’ You are not required to have an attorney for some criminal charges, a criminal defense lawyer will advise you about your rights, protect your interests and help you through the complicated legal system that you are now faced with.

If you can’t afford a lawyer, you will get a public defender. In addition, the Public Defender Office has a number of staff such as private investigators, forensics experts and social case workers. You will be reassured to know that Public Defenders are real lawyers who are members of the Kansas State Bar and are legally licensed to practice law.

Have you ever had to use a Public Defender? Do you think they properly handled your case?

All court records are public records and are available upon request. Court records have a file with a docket and each of the documents that have been filed. You can access your court records with the Kingman County website, or by going to the Clerk of Court.

A Clerk of Court is an official part of the court that manages the records. They also administer the oath for all court participants, and read the verdict when the jury makes their final decision. All records and documents associated with your case are held at Clerk of Court.

Court fees and costs are the costs associated with your court case, such as for example filing charges, motion and claim fees, and court appearance fees. If you can’t afford to pay these fees and have court appointed legal counsel or a Public Defender, you can get a waiver for these fees and won’t have to pay them.

A Magistrate is the person that rules on your case. Magistrate judges do different tasks, like setting your bail amount, issuing warrants, and presiding over first court appearances and detention hearings.

Your pre-sentencing report is put together with your background information and as much detail about the defendant’s life, which the magistrate will consider when determining a sentence. Information, details, and character witnesses will be requested from the defendant, his or her family members, and, if applicable, the victim. Be sure to remember you can ask to receive a copy of the pre-sentencing report before sentencing, so you have the opportunity to correct the mistakes.

After you are convicted of a crime, you will be given a sentence for your crime. There are a number of different options, ranging from community service, house arrest, and probation, to even prison or jail time. Depending on how serious your crime was, you could be locked up immediately, or you could get a date that you are required to go to jail to do your time.

Life In Jail / What Its Like

Daily Life

Just the thought of getting locked up in Kingman County Jail is something you wish you could avoid, in time you will become accustomed to the daily routine there. You will get an alarm to wake up every morning at 6am, and next they’ll do roll call. After roll call you will eat breakfast. When you finish breakfast you will have 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 Kingman 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 Kingman 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 money to inmates at Kingman County Jail could change, so be sure to check the official Kingman County Jail site before send funds to someone in jail 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.
