Of course, if you are locked up, your primary thought is about getting out. After you’ve gone through the booking process, bail will be set either by bail schedule or magistrate. If there is no bail set this might mean that you will either be released on your ‘own recognizance’ until your court date, or you have to stay in jail until your trial.

If you are released you will have to agree to be there for your court date, and you must not go out of town.

Usually, prisoners at Gallatin County Sherrif are given an early release in exchange for good behavior if they don’t break the rules and conduct themselves properly while they are in jail.

If you follow the rules, you might be allowed to do work release. Either you will have to return to jail every day when you’re finished at your job, or you might have the chance to sleep in a halfway house instead of jail, so it is kind of like an early release.

Your bail is how much money that you are required to pay to get out of jail until you go to court. The amount you will have to pay is determined by how serious your crime is. Someone you know will need to pay to the courts 10 percent of the total that was determined in order for you to get out of jail. If you miss your court appearance, whoever paid your bail will lose that money.

To find out someone’s bail amount you have to call the jail. If you have all the person’s info, like name, address and date of birth, they’ll be able to let you know the bail amount. You can also find out how much their bail is on the Gallatin County Sherrif website.

Having to get someone out of jail is no fun, but thankfully, it’s easy if you have the money. First of all, you have to find out if it is a “Cash Bond Only” situation. If it is, you can’t use the services of a Bail Bondsman. Take cash only to the jail – the jail won’t take a personal check. Once you have paid the bond, the person will be discharged. If the conditions of bail are not violated, the bail money you posted will be returned to you.

If the amount of bail set is large, of if you can’t pay it, you should try to hire a bail bondsman. They generally charge you a fee of 10-15% of the bail amount, and in most cases with a minimum charge of $100. The amount you pay to the bondsman is non-refundable and bondsmen usually only accept cash. If bail is very large, the bail bondsman will in these cases use your assets, such as home, property or cars, as collateral for the bond.

• They’ll also ask you about your psychological and medical history.
• You will be given an inmate number.
• You will be fingerprinted.
• You will have your mugshot taken.
• Any property you have will be taken away from you and stored until you are discharged.
• They will allow you to make a telephone call in order to talk to a member of your family, friend, or bail bondsman.
• If you are expected to be released quickly, you might be allowed to keep wearing street clothes, if not you will have to change into a jail uniform – the jumpsuit.

When you post bail, you will be allowed to leave jail. This process may take between 15 minutes to hours or even all day long. Or, simply, the quicker bail is posted, the quicker you will be freed. How quickly you get discharged can depend on whether or not you’ve got a cash bond amount or if the magistrate must decide on the bail amount. For a minor offense, you will simply be booked and then released on your recognizance without having to pay bail. When you get to the end of your sentence and are given a release date, expect to be released that morning.

for your arrest, or if you must start a jail sentence, it is highly advisable that you follow the law and go down to the jail and turn yourself in. If you have a warrant, report to the jail reception area, and tell the intake officer that think that there is a warrant 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 verify that you have one, you will be taken into custody. If you have a jail sentence to serve, go to the jail at the exact time and date that the sentence order states. Ensure that you aren’t late. Be sure to only bring required items when you turn yourself in, like your driver’s license or your ID, any prescription medication you might take, as well as an official sentencing order.

In order to have visitors, inmates have to give each visitor’s name and date of birth to the jail before anyone can visit them. Your visitor’s names will be entered into a log of approved visitors for the inmate. All visitors will be required to provide acceptable photo identification. Any visitors arriving late or any visitors that are not approved to visit will not be allowed to visit the inmate.
Visitation procedures at Gallatin County Sherrif frequently change, so it would be wise to double-check the official site before you go.

Phone calls that inmates are allowed to make from jail are collect calls or through a pre-paid phone account. Calls made in jail are typically pricier than regular phone calls. There are certain restrictions about when you can make phone calls, how long you can talk, and how often you can make calls, but bear in mind that a long line can form at the phones, because everyone wants to use the phone, too. If you break the rules, your ability to use the phone might get reduced or eliminated completely.

Phone Number: (859) 567-5751

Any mail that you send to an inmate must be sent using the actual US Postal Service, and not courier or delivery, or hand delivered. You can’t use any other type of delivery. You have to clearly write the inmate’s name, inmate ID, and the jail address on the outside of the letter that you send. Do not send a box, envelope with padding, bag, or an envelope with any metal in it. All mail will be opened and read by staff, and will be returned to the sender if deemed inappropriate.

Life In Jail / What Its Like

Daily Life

While the prospect of serving a jail sentence in Gallatin County Sherrif is very scary, soon you will get used to the daily routine there. Inmates get an alarm for wake-up every morning at 6:00am, and next you’ll have roll call. You will then have breakfast. When you finish breakfast you will 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 Gallatin County Sherrif, 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 Gallatin County Sherrif 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 someone in jail can change, so check the official Gallatin County Sherrif site when send money 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.
