Naturally, if you’re incarcerated, your only thought is about getting out. After you’ve gone through the intake process, your bail will be decided using the bail schedule or the magistrate will decide it. If you don’t get a bail set this may mean that you will either be free to go until your trial, or you don’t get released while you wait for your court date.

If you do bail out of jail you must promise to show up for court, and in the meantime you are required not to leave the area.

Usually, an inmate are given time off in exchange for good behavior when they respect the rules and act right while incarcerated.

If you do exhibit good behavior and the jail believes you can be trusted, you may be granted work release. Either you will have to go back to jail every day when you’re finished at your job, or you could have the chance to sleep in a halfway house instead of living at the jail.

Your bail is how much money that you will be required to pay to be released from jail until you go to court. The amount you have to pay all depends on how serious your crime is. You will need to pay to the courts 10 percent of the total that was set in order for you to bail out of jail. If you don’t show up for your court date, whoever put up your bail money will lose all of the bail money.

To find out someone’s bail amount you need to call the jail or the county courthouse. If you’ve got the person’s information, including name, address and date of birth, they will let you know the bail amount. Also, you can see the bail amount on the Goodhue County Adult Detention Cente website.

Needing to bail someone out of jail is never a fun thing, but in some cases, it is really easy if you have the money. First of all, find out if it is a Cash Only Bond. If it is, you will not be able to use a bail bondsman. Take cash only to the jail – they can’t accept a personal check. Once the cash bond has been paid, the prisoner will be discharged. If they don’t violate the terms of their bail, you will get this money back.

If the bail amount is too high, or you just don’t have the money, you should look into the services of a bail bondsman. They generally have a fee of 10-15% of the bail amount, and usually have a minimum fee of $100. This is non-refundable and is typically cash only. If the bail is exceptionally high, the bail bondsman will usually use your assets, such as home, property or cars, as collateral in addition to the fee they charge.

Life In Jail / What Its Like

Daily Life

Everyone knows that being incarcerated in Goodhue County Adult Detention Cente is something you wish you could avoid, you will soon become accustomed to the daily routine there. Prisoners get an alarm for wake-up at about 6:00am, and next they’ll do roll call. After roll call you will have 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 Goodhue County Adult Detention Cente, 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 Goodhue County Adult Detention Cente 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 at Goodhue County Adult Detention Cente changes, so we suggest that you review the site before you send money to an inmate 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.
