Of course, once you’re arrested and put in jail, your primary thought is when and how to get out. After you’ve gone through booking, bail will be decided either by bail schedule or magistrate. If there is no bail set this might mean that you will either be free to go until your trial, or you are kept in jail until your court date.

If you are released you will have to promise to be in court on your court date, and you are not permitted to go out of town.

Typically, an inmate can earn time off for good behavior if they don’t break the rules and don’t cause any problems while incarcerated.

If you follow the rules, you may be granted work release. You will either have to return to the jail every day after work, or you might be allowed to live in a halfway house instead of jail.

Bail is how much money that you have to pay to the courts to be released from jail until your trial. The amount you will be required to pay all depends on what crime you are charged with and how serious it is. You or someone you know will have to pay to the courts ten percent of the total set in order for you to bail out of jail. If you don’t show up for your court appearance, the person that bailed you out of jail won’t get the bail money back.

To find out someone’s bail amount you have to call the jail. If you have all the person’s info, such as name, address and date of birth, they will be able to let you know the bail amount. You can also find out how much their bail is on the Queen Anne’S County Detention Center website.

Needing to bail someone out of jail is never fun, but in some cases, it is easy. First of all, figure out if their bail is a “Cash Bond Only” situation. If it is, you can’t use a bondsman. Bail can only be paid by cash – the jail will not accept a check. When you’ve paid bail, the inmate will get released. If this person doesn’t violate any of the terms of their release, you’ll get the bail money back.

If their bail has been set too high, or you just can’t afford to pay it, you should use a bail bondsman. They generally charge you a fee of 10-15% of the total bail amount, and sometimes have a minimum of $100. This is non-refundable and bondsmen usually only accept cash. If the bail is extremely high, the bondsman may require that they use assets as collateral for the bond in addition to whatever their charges are.

The jail intake process includes each of these steps:

• You will be placed in a waiting area or cell. If the jail is busy, you will have to wait, sometimes for many hours, before you get processed.
• The first step is that you will have to answer a bunch of questions, like what is your full legal name, street address, birthdate and an emergency contact.
• They’ll also ask you about your psychological and medical history.
• You will be given an inmate ID.
• You will be fingerprinted.
• You will get your mugshot taken.
• Any personal property you have will be taken away from you and stored until you are discharged.
• They will let you use the telephone in order to call family, friends, or bail bondsman.
• If they expect that you will make bail and be released quickly, you might be allowed to wear your own clothes, if not you will have to change into a jail uniform.

Have you ever been booked into jail? If so, please tell your story so other people can learn from your experience. How long did you have to wait? Were you treated fairly? Can you tell us tips that could help other people that get arrested to get through jail processing?

When you finally post bail, you will be allowed to go home after you get discharged. Getting discharged may take between 30 minutes to hours or even all day long. In other words the faster you can post bail, the quicker you will get discharged from jail. How quickly you get discharged might depend on whether you have a cash bond amount or if the magistrate has to decide on how much your bail will be. For lesser charges, you will get booked and released on your own recognizance. When you have served your sentence and have a discharge date, you should expect to get discharged at any time that day – but usually in the morning.

for your arrest, or if you have to begin your sentence in jail, it is highly recommended that you do the right thing and go down to the jail and turn yourself in. In the case of an outstanding warrant, go to the jail, in the reception area, and let them know that you think there is an outstanding 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 there is one, you will be taken into the sheriff’s custody. If you have a jail sentence to serve, report on the date and time that the sentence order states. Make sure that you are not late to report. Make sure that you only bring allowed items with you, for example a 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 must list each visitor’s full name to the jail in advance of any visit. This information will be entered in the log as an Authorized visit. Every visitor must provide identification. Visitors that arrives for visitation late or without a visiting order will be turned away.
Visitation procedures frequently change, so check the official Queen Anne’S County Detention Center jail site before you go to visitation.

All phone calls from jail are collect calls or through a pre-paid phone account. Calls made in jail are typically more expensive than regular phone calls. Inmates are able to make phone calls, with restrictions on when and how often you can use the phone, but bear in mind lots of people want to use the phone – so you have to share. If you break the rules, an inmate’s phone privileges might get reduced or eliminated altogether.

The Queen Anne’S County Detention Center phone number is: 410-758-3817

All inmate mail is required to be mailed using the US Postal Service. You must not use any other type of mail or package delivery. You have to print the person’s name, prisoner number, and the address of the jail on the outside of the letter that you send. Don’t send a package or box, envelope with padding or insulation, plastic or paper bag, or an envelope containing metal parts. All mail received by the jail will be opened and read by the staff, and will get sent back if the jail decides it is inappropriate.

If you get arrested, you need to be aware that you still have rights, the first of which is your right to request a lawyer. You are only allowed to make so many phone calls in jail, so you would be wise to get a friend or relative to find a lawyer when you call. You might be asking yourself ‘but do I really need a lawyer’ You can represent yourself if you really want to, but, an attorney can advise you of your rights, look after your best interests and show you the way through the complicated legal system in your county. The quicker you hire a lawyer to represent you and work on your charges, the better your chances.

If you cannot afford a lawyer, you will be given a public defender for a lawyer. The Public Defender Office is staffed by private investigators, experts in forensics and social workers. Public Defenders are licensed lawyers who are admitted to the State Bar and are completely licensed to practice law in Maryland.

Have you or someone you know had to use a Public Defender? Do you think that they did a good job of defending you?

Queen Anne’s County court records are public record and are available upon request to anyone who requests them – not just the person who they pertain to. They include a file containing a docket and all documents filed in the course of your case. You are able to access your court case records via the online service, or at the Clerk of Court’s office.

The Queen Anne’s County Clerk of Court is an officer and clerk of the court that manages the records. They also administer the oath for all court participants, and also read the jury’s verdict. All court records from your case are kept at the office of the Clerk of Court.

Court fees and costs are all costs associated with your court case, such as for example filing fees, motion fees and various court charges. If you cannot afford these fees and have court appointed legal counsel or a Public Defender, you may not have to pay the fees.

The Queen Anne’s County court magistrate acts as the judge that presides on your case in court. They do several different things, which include setting bail, writing arrest warrants, and presiding over preliminary court appearances and detention proceedings.

A pre-sentencing report is completed to include your background information and as much detail about the defendant’s life and history, which the magistrate will consider when determining a sentence. Information will be requested from the person on trial, the defendant’s family, and, if applicable, the victim. Remember you are allowed to ask to see a copy of the report before you are sentenced, and go over it and correct any mistakes in it.

After being convicted of a crime, you will then get sentenced. There are several different options for sentencing, including community service to probation, to incarceration in either jail (short term) or prison (long term). Depending on sentencing guidelines and the severity of your crime, you will either be immediately taken into custody, or you might be given a date that you must go to jail to do your time.

Life In Jail / What Its Like

Daily Life

Everyone knows that serving a jail sentence in Queen Anne’S County Detention Center is quite unpleasant, in time you will settle into the routine that is set for you. You will get a wake-up alarm each morning at 6:00AM, and next you’ll have roll call. After roll call you will get breakfast. Following breakfast participate 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 Queen Anne’S 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 Queen Anne’S 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 rules for sending money to people in jail changes, so you should review the official website before 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.
