A mugshot, also called a jail intake photograph, is the photo that the jail takes when you are processed at the jail intake. They will take one face photo and a side-view photo. Your name and intake number will be on the mugshot, and they are on file at the jail.

Mugshots can be found on the Nodaway County Jail website, or you can see them at the Nodaway County Jail. When you search for mugshots online you will have to put in the inmate’s legal name, and a booking date, if you know it.

Do you want to get your mugshot removed from the Nodaway County Jail website? This will be difficult, because the mugshot is public record. You need to file a ‘Petition to Expunge’. What this means is that the record of your arrest will be sealed, so no one will be able to see them. Unfortunately, this happens very rarely.

Naturally, if you’re in jail, your only thought is about how to get out. After you’ve been booked, your bail is set either through a preset bail schedule or a magistrate. If no bail is set this may 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 are released you must agree to be in court on your court date, and until that day you can’t travel out of the county.

In most cases, prisoners will be given an early release in exchange for good behavior if they don’t break the rules and act right while they are in jail.

If you follow the rules, you may be granted work release. You will have to stay jail every day when you’re finished at your job, or you could get to live in a halfway house when you are not working.

Bail is money that you will be required to pay to get out of jail until your court date. The amount you will be required to pay depends on the seriousness of your crime. Someone will have to pay ten percent of the total that was set in order for you to be released from jail. If you don’t show up for your court date, whoever posted your bail will lose that money.

To find out someone’s bail amount you need to call the jail or the county courthouse. If know the person’s information, including name, address and date of birth, they will tell you how much their bail is. Also, you can find out how much their bail is on the Nodaway County Jail site.

Having to bail someone out of jail is no fun, but in some cases, it is simple to do if you have the money. To start with, find out if it is a Cash Only Bond. If so, you will not be able to use a bondsman. They only accept cash at the jail, so you have to take cash – they will not take a personal check. As soon as you’ve posted (paid) bond, the prisoner will be released. If this person doesn’t violate any of the terms of their release, you’ll get the bail money back.

If the amount of bail set is large, or you just don’t have the money, you should hire a bail bondsman. Bail bondsmen will generally charge you a fee of 10 to 15 percent of the total amount of bail set by the magistrate, and in most cases charge a minimum of $100. This money is non-refundable and the bondsman only accepts cash. If their bail has been set particularly high, the bondsman might ask to use your assets as collateral for the bond in addition to whatever their charges are.

• You will also be asked about your psychological and medical history.

• You will be allowed to make a telephone call to get in touch with a family member, friend, or bail bondsman.

Once you are able to post bail, you will get discharged from jail. The discharge process may take from 15 minutes to many hours. In simple terms, the faster you can post bail, the faster you will get discharged. How quickly you get discharged might depend on whether or not you have a cash bond amount or if the judge has to determine the bail amount. For a minor offense, you will get booked and get released without having to post bail. When you get to the end of your sentence and have a release date, you should plan to be discharged in the morning.

for your arrest, or if you need to start your sentence, it is highly recommended that you do the right thing and turn yourself into the authorities. In the case of an outstanding warrant, go down to the jail, and tell someone that you think they might have a warrant for your arrest. They will check to see if you have a warrant, and if you do, you will be taken into the sheriff’s custody. If you are reporting to serve out your sentence, report on the date and time that the sentence order or court paperwork states. Make sure that you are not late. Only bring necessary items when you go to jail, such as your driver’s license or even photo ID, any prescription medication you might take, along with your doctor’s prescription, and a copy of the sentencing order.

In order to have visitors, inmates must give each visitor’s name and date of birth to the jail. Your visitor’s names will be entered in a Visiting log as an Authorized visit. Each visitor will be required to provide acceptable photo identification. Anyone showing up late or that is not an approved visitor will not be allowed to attend visitation.
Jail visitation policies frequently change, so you should visit the official Nodaway County Jail jail site before you go.

If you break the rules, your ability to use the phone might get reduced or eliminated completely, as part of the punishment.

Life In Jail / What Its Like

Daily Life

Everyone knows that spending time in Nodaway County Jail is quite unpleasant, in time you will become accustomed to the daily routine there. You will get a wake-up alarm each morning at 6:00 AM, and then you’ll have roll call. After roll call you will get breakfast. Following breakfast you will be required to work in the work program that you’ve been assigned to. 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 Nodaway 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 Nodaway 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 funds to someone in jail at Nodaway County Jail changes, so you should check the the Nodaway County Jail website when 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.
