Obviously, once you are locked up, your primary thought is when and how to get out. After you’ve been booked, bail is set either through a preset bail schedule or a magistrate. If there is no bail set this may mean that you will either be free to go until your trial, or you have to stay in jail until your trial.

If you do bail out of jail you must promise to be in court on your court date, and you are not allowed to leave the county.

In most cases, inmates are given an early release in exchange for good behavior when they respect the rules and area a good inmate while in jail.

If you prove to be trustworthy, you might be allowed to do work release. You will be required to return to the jail each day when you’re finished working, or you may be permitted to move to a halfway house when you are not working.

Bail is money that you have to pay to get out of jail until your trial. The amount you will be required to pay is determined by the seriousness of your crime. You or someone you know will have to put up 10 percent of the total that was determined so you can bail out of jail. If you don’t show up for court, the person that paid your bail won’t get their money back.

In order to find out how much someone’s bail is, you have to call the jail or the county courthouse. If you have all the pertinent information, like name, address and date of birth, they will be able to let you know what their bail is set at. You can also find out how much their bail is on the Loup County Jail website.

Posting bail to get out of jail is an unpleasant situation, but usually, it’s simple to do if you have the money. To start with, you need to find out if their bail is a Cash Only Bond. If this is the case, you can’t use a Bail Bondsman. Bail can only be paid by cash – they won’t take checks. Once the cash bond has been paid, the person will get released. If they don’t violate the terms of their bail, you’ll get your money back.

If the amount of bail set is large, or you can’t afford it yourself, you will need to use a bail bondsman. Bail bondsmen usually have a fee of 10-15% of the total amount of bail set, and sometimes have a minimum of $100. The amount you pay to the bondsman will not be returned to you and the bondsman only accepts cash. If their bail has been set particularly high, the bondsman will in most cases use assets as collateral for the bond in addition to whatever their charges are.

When you finally post bail, you will be discharged from jail. This process will take anywhere from 15 minutes to all day long. Or, simply, the faster bail is posted, the faster you will be released. Also, it depends on if you’ve got a cash bond amount or if a magistrate still needs to determine how much your bail will be. For minor offenses, you will be booked and then released on your recognizance without having to pay bail. When you get to the end of your sentence and know the release date, expect to get released at any time that day – but usually in the morning.

If the police have a, or if you need to begin your sentence in jail, you should follow the law and turn yourself in. If it is for a warrant, report to the jail, in the reception area, and tell an officer that think that there is a warrant for your arrest. They will do a record check, and if they verify that there is a warrant for your arrest, they will take you into custody. If it is for a jail sentence, go to the jail at the time and date that the sentence order or court paperwork states. Be very careful that you are not late. Just bring required items when you go to jail, such as your driver’s license or even ID, any prescription medication you might take, along with your doctor’s prescription, and the sentencing order from court.

In order to have visitors, inmates must list the name and date of birth of each visitor to the jail in advance of any visit. This information will go into a log of approved visitors as an authorized visitor. All visitors have to provide a photo ID when visiting. Anyone that arrives for visitation late or that is not an approved visitor will not be allowed to visit the inmate.
The Loup County Jail visitation procedures change often, so review the official jail site before you try to visit an inmate.

All phone calls from jail are collect calls or through a pre-paid phone account. These phone calls are usually more expensive than regular phone calls. There is no limit to when and how often you can use the phone, but you should keep in mind that a long line can form at the phones, because everyone wants to use the phone, too. If you break the rules and are disciplined, phone calls might get reduced or totally denied.

The faster you get an attorney working on your charges, the better off you’ll be.

Life In Jail / What Its Like

Daily Life

Just the thought of getting locked up in Loup County Jail is very scary, you will soon settle into the routine that is set for you. You will get a wake-up alarm at 6:00AM, and next they’ll do roll call. Next, you will eat breakfast. Following breakfast you will have to work in the work program or other activity that you are assigned. 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 Loup 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 Loup 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 procedure to send funds to inmates could change, so be sure to check the site when 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.
