Naturally, once you are arrested and put in jail, your only thought is about when and how you will get out. After you’ve gone through the intake process, your bail is set by the magistrate. If there is no bail set this might mean that you will either be released on your ‘own recognizance’ until your court date, or you are kept in jail until your court date.

If you are released you are required to promise to show up for court, and until then you are not permitted to leave town.

In most cases, an inmate in the Saline County Jail will earn an early release in exchange for good behavior if they respect the rules and area a good inmate while incarcerated.

If you do exhibit good behavior and the jail believes you can be trusted, you may be allowed to do work release. You will either have to go back to jail each day when you’re finished at your job, or you may get to move into a halfway house when you are not working.

Your 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 all depends on how serious your crime is. You will need to put up 10 percent of the total amount that was set in order to get out of jail. If you fail to show up for your court date, whoever put up your bail money won’t get their money back.

You will need to call the jail or the county courthouse. If you’ve got the person’s info, including name, address and date of birth, they will tell you how much their bail is. Also, you can see the bail amount on the jail website.

Having to get someone out of jail is no fun, but most of the time, it’s easy. To start with, figure out if their bail is a “Cash Bond Only” situation. If this is the case, you can’t get a bail bondsman. Take cash only to the jail – they can’t accept a personal check. Once you have paid the bond, the prisoner will be released into your care. If they don’t violate the terms of their bail, the bail money you posted will be returned to you.

If the amount of bail set is large, or you just can’t afford it, you should try a bail bondsman. Bail bondsmen will usually charge a fee of 10-15% of the bail amount, and in most cases with a minimum charge of $100. The money you pay to the bail bondsman is non-refundable and is typically cash only. If the bail is extremely high, the bondsman will in these cases use assets as collateral for the bond in addition to their charges.

Life In Jail / What Its Like

Daily Life

Just the thought of spending time in Saline County Jail is quite unpleasant, in time you will become accustomed to the daily routine there. Prisoners get a wake-up alarm each morning at 6:00 AM, and then roll call. After roll call you will have breakfast. Following 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 Saline 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 Saline 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 Saline County Jail inmates could change, so be sure to review the official website before you send money to an inmate.


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.
