A mugshot, also called a jail processing photograph, is the picture that the police take when you are processed at the jail intake. A mugshot is actually one full face and a side photo. Your full name and jail booking number will appear on the pictures, and they will be on file.

Mugshots of inmates can be searched on the website, or you can see them in person at the Sabine Parish Jail. When you search for mugshots on the website you have to enter the person’s name, and a booking date, if you know it.

Trying to figure out how to have your mugshot removed from the Sabine Parish Jail website? This can be tricky, as your mugshot is a matter of public record. To get your mugshot taken down you have to file a ‘Petition to Expunge’. Basically, this means that all of your arrest records will be sealed, and will not be available to the public. It is difficult to do this, and you will most likely need the services of a lawyer.

Naturally, if you’re in jail, your primary thought is when and how to get out. After booking, a bail amount is set by the magistrate. If you don’t get a bail set this might 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 do bail out of jail you are required to agree to show up for court, and in the meantime you must not leave the county.

Typically, an inmate in the Sabine Parish Jail are given time off for good behavior if they respect the rules and act right while locked up.

If you do exhibit good behavior and the jail believes you can be trusted, you may be allowed to participate in a work release program. You will be required to go back to the jail each day when you’re finished working, or you may get to live in a halfway house instead of jail, so it is kind of like an early release.

Your bail is how much money that you have to pay in order to be released from jail pending trial. The amount you will be required to pay depends on how serious your charges are. Someone will have to pay to the courts ten percent of the total that was set so you can get discharged from jail. If you fail to show up for your court date, that person won’t get their money back.

In order to find out how much someone’s bail is, you must call the Sabine Parish Jail or the County Courthouse. If you’ve got the pertinent information, such as name, address and date of birth, they will tell you how much their bail is. You can also check their bail amount and status online.

Having to get someone out of jail is an unpleasant situation, but fortunately, it is easy. First, you have to find out if they have a “Cash Bond Only” situation. If this is the case, you can’t use a bondsman. Take cash only to the jail – the jail will not take a check. As soon as you’ve posted (paid) bond, the inmate will be released into your care. If they don’t violate the terms of their bail, you’ll get your money back.

If their bail has been set too high, of if you can’t pay it, you might need to use a bail bondsman. Bondsmen usually have a fee of 10 to 15 percent of the total amount of bail set by the magistrate, and in most cases with a minimum fee of $100. The amount you pay to the bondsman is non-refundable and must be paid in cash. If their bail has been set particularly high, the bondsman might ask to use your assets, such as home, property or cars, as collateral for the bond in addition to whatever their charges are.

When you post bail, you will be allowed to go home after you get discharged. Getting discharged takes between 15 minutes to all day long. In other words the faster you can post bail, the faster you will get out of jail. Also, it can depend on if you’ve got a cash bond or if the judge must figure out your bail amount. For minor offenses, you will be booked and released on your own recognizance. If you have served a sentence in jail and have a discharge date, expect to get released between 9am and noon.

If the police have a, or if you need to report to start a sentence, you really should follow the law and turn yourself in. For a warrant, report to the jail processing area, and tell someone that believe that there could be a warrant out for your arrest. They will do a record check, and if they verify that there is a warrant for your arrest, you will be taken into custody. If it is for a jail sentence, go down to the jail at the time and date that the sentence order lists. Make sure that you are not late to report. Only bring approved items when you turn yourself in, like 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.

The inmate need to provide the name and date of birth of each visitor to the jail in advance of any visit. Your visitor’s information will be put into the visitors log as an authorized visitor.

If you break the jail rules, phone calls may be limited or totally denied.

Information, details, and character witnesses will be requested from the person on trial, the defendant’s family, and if necessary the victim in the crime. Don’t forget you are allowed to request to see your own copy of this report before your sentencing, so you can correct the mistakes.

There are several different options for sentencing, including community service and probation, to even incarceration in either jail (short term) or prison (long term).

Life In Jail / What Its Like

Daily Life

Just the thought of serving a jail sentence in the Sabine Parish jail is quite unpleasant, soon you will become accustomed to the routine that is set for you. All inmates get an alarm to wake up at about 6:00am, and then roll call. After roll call you will eat breakfast. Following 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 Sabine Parish 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 Sabine Parish 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 someone in jail is likely to change, so it would be best to double check the official Sabine Parish 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.
