Of course, if you are in jail, your main thought is about when and how you will get out. After you’ve gone through the intake process, bail is determined by a special judge called a magistrate. If no bail is set this might mean that you will either be free to go until your court date, or you must remain in jail until your trial.

If you are released from jail you will have to promise to show up for court, and you won’t be permitted to leave town.

Usually, prisoners at New Madrid County Jail are given early release in exchange for good behavior if they follow the rules and area a good inmate while in jail.

If you do exhibit good behavior and the jail believes you can be trusted, you might be given work release detail. Either you will have to stay the jail at the end of the day when you’re finished working, or you could be allowed to sleep in a halfway house instead of living at the jail.

Bail is the amount of money that you have to pay to get out of jail until you go to court. The amount you will be required to pay all depends on the crime you are charged with. Someone you know will need to pay to the courts 10 percent of the total set in order to get out of jail. If you miss court, that person will lose that money.

In order to find out how much someone’s bail is, you will need to call the jail or the county courthouse. If you have all the person’s info, including name, address and date of birth, they’ll tell you what their bail is set at. You can also check their bail amount and status on the New Madrid County Jail site.

Needing to bail someone out of jail is an unpleasant situation, but usually, its easy. First, figure out if their bail is a Cash Only Bond. If it is, you won’t be able to get a bail bondsman. Bail can only be paid by cash – they will not take a personal check. As soon as you’ve posted (paid) bond, the inmate will be released into your care. If the conditions of bail are not violated, you will get this money back.

If the amount of bail set is large, of if you can’t pay it, you will need to use a bail bondsman. They will generally charge you a fee of 10-15% of total bail, and usually have a minimum of $100. The money you pay to the bail bondsman will not be returned to you and bondsmen usually only accept cash. If the bail is exceptionally high, the bondsman will usually request to use your assets as collateral.

When you pay your bail, you will get released from jail. This process will take between 15 minutes to hours or even all day long. So, the faster bail is posted, the sooner you will get discharged from jail. Also, how fast you get released might depend on whether or not you’ve got a cash bond amount or if a judge has to determine the bail amount. For a minor charge, you will be booked and released on your own recognizance. When you have completed your jail sentence and have a date of your release, you should expect to be discharged that morning.

If you have a, or if you must start your sentence, you really should follow the law and turn yourself in willingly. If it is for a warrant, go down to the jail processing area, and tell them that you think there is an outstanding arrest warrant out for you. They will do a record check, and if they verify that you have one, they will ask that you surrender yourself and you will be taken into custody. If you are reporting to serve out your sentence, go to the jail at the time and date that the sentence order or court paperwork states. Be sure that you are not late. Make sure that you only bring allowed items when you go, such as your driver’s license or even your ID, any prescription medication you might take, along with your doctor’s prescription, as well as a sentencing order.

When you’ve been arrested, you should know you still have rights, the most important of which is that you have the right to request an attorney. You won’t get many phone calls in jail, so it is important to get a friend or relative to find a lawyer for you. You may be asking yourself ‘why do I need a lawyer?’ You can represent yourself if you really want to, but, a criminal defense lawyer can advise you of your rights, protect your interests and guide you through the complicated legal system that you are now faced with. The quicker you hire an attorney to represent you and work on your charges, the better.

For more info on the benefits of and how to hire an attorney, go to: Find a Lawyer

If you need an attorney, but can’t afford a lawyer, the courts will assign you a public defender, which is a free lawyer. In addition, the Public Defender’s Office has access to investigators, experts in forensics and case workers. All Public Defenders are real attorneys that are admitted to the Missouri State Bar Association and are licensed to practice law as an agent of the court.

Have you or someone you know had to use a court appointed attorney? Are you satisfied with how they handled your case and represented you in court?

Court records are public record and are available upon request to anyone who requests them – not just the person who they pertain to. They contain a case file with a sheet called a docket sheet and each of the documents and motions that have been filed in the case. You can access court records using the New Madrid County website, or at the New Madrid County Clerk of Court where the case was filed.

A Clerk of Court is a member of the court who manages the records. They also administer the oath during court cases, and read the verdict when decided by the jury. All records related to your case are available at Clerk of Court.

Court fees and costs are the costs from your case, such as for example filing fees, motion and claim fees, and court charges. If you are low income and have been assigned a Public Defender, you may not have to pay the fees.

A Magistrate is the person that will preside on your case. Magistrates are judges that do a number of different things, such as determining how much your bail will be, writing arrest warrants, and acting as the presiding judge over preliminary court appearances and detention proceedings.

A defendant’s pre-sentencing report is prepared with information about the arrestee’s background and information about the defendant’s life and history, which the magistrate will review when deciding on the sentence. Information and personal details will be requested from the person on trial, his or her family members, and in some cases the victim in the crime. Bear in mind that you should request to get your own copy of your pre-sentencing report before your sentencing, so you get the chance to review it for accuracy and completeness, and correct any mistakes.

After you are convicted of a crime, you will be given a sentence for your crime. The judge will have several different options when sentencing you, including community service to probation, to incarceration in jail or prison. Depending on the severity of the crime, you may be immediately taken into custody, or you could receive a date that you are supposed to report to jail to serve your term.

Life In Jail / What Its Like

Daily Life

While the prospect of serving a jail sentence in the New Madrid County jail is very scary, soon you will get used to the daily routine there. Inmates get a wake-up alarm at 6:00AM, and next you’ll have roll call. Next, you will get breakfast. When you finish breakfast you will have to 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 New Madrid 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 New Madrid 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 someone in jail at New Madrid County Jail could change, so review the official New Madrid County Jail site before you send any funds.


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.
