Naturally, once you are incarcerated, your primary thought is about how to get out. After you’ve gone through booking, bail is decided by a special judge called a magistrate. If you don’t get a bail set this may mean that you will either get released, pending trial, or you are kept in jail until your court date.

If you do bail out of jail you must agree to go to your court date, and in the meantime you must not leave the area.

Typically, prisoners in the Mcpherson County Jail can earn time off for good behavior when they respect the rules and act right while locked up.

If you prove to be trustworthy, you might be allowed to do work release. You will either have to go back to the jail every day after work, or you could be permitted to sleep in a halfway house instead of jail.

Your bail is how much money that you have to pay to the court system in order to be released from jail pending trial. The amount you will be required to pay all depends on the crime you’ve been charged with. Someone will have to put up 10 percent of the total set so you are able to be released from jail. If you don’t show up for your court appearance, whoever posted your bail won’t get the bail money back.

To find out someone’s bail amount you will need to call the Mcpherson County Jail or the County Courthouse. If you have all the pertinent information, such as name, address and date of birth, they will let you know the bail amount. Also, you can check their bail amount and status online.

Having to get someone out of jail is an unpleasant situation, but thankfully, it’s easy if you have the money. First of all, figure out if their bail is a “Cash Bond Only” situation. If it is, you will not be able to get a bondsman. They only accept cash at the jail, so you have to take cash – the jail can’t accept checks. As soon as you’ve posted (paid) bond, the prisoner will be discharged. If the conditions of bail are not violated, you’ll get the bail money back.

If the bail amount is too high, or you just don’t have the money, you might need to use a bail bondsman. Bail bondsmen usually charge you a fee of 10-15% of the total amount of bail set by the magistrate, and in most cases charge a minimum fee of $100. This will not be returned to you and the bondsman only accepts cash. If the bail is extremely high, the bondsman will require that they use your assets, such as home, property or cars, as collateral.

• They’ll also ask about your medical and psychological history.
• You will be given an inmate number.
• You will get fingerprinted.
• They will take your mugshot.
• Any personal property you have will be taken away from you and stored until you get released.
• They will let you make a phone call in order to talk to family, friends, or bail bondsman.
• If you are expected to be released shortly, they will let you keep wearing street clothes, but if you are not expected to make bail quickly you will have to wear a jail issued jumpsuit.

Once you are able to post bail, you will get released from jail. Getting discharged can take between 30 minutes to many hours. In simple terms, the faster you post bail, the faster you will be freed. Also, how fast you get released can depend on whether you’ve got a bond amount or if a magistrate has to decide on the bail amount. For a minor offense, you will get booked and then released on your recognizance without having to pay bail. When you have served out your jail sentence and are given a discharge date, expect to be discharged that morning.

In the event there is a, or if you have to start your sentence, you should follow the law and turn yourself into the authorities. In the case of an outstanding warrant, report to the jail, and tell them that you think there may be an outstanding arrest warrant out for you. They will check to see if you have a warrant, and if you do, they will take you into custody and begin the intake process. If you have a jail sentence to serve, report to the jail at the exact time and date that the sentence order requires you to. Be very careful that you are not late to report. Make sure that you only bring required items when you go to jail, for example a driver’s license or photo ID, any prescription medication you might take, and a official sentencing order.

Inmates have to give each visitor’s name and date of birth to the jail before anyone can visit them. This information will be entered into the visitation log for the requesting inmate.

Visitation procedures change often, so check the official jail site before you try to visit an inmate.

There is no limit to when and how often you can use the phone, but inmates must keep in mind lots of people want to use the phone – so you have to share. If you break the jail rules, phone calls may be limited or forbidden completely.

Life In Jail / What Its Like

Daily Life

Everyone knows that spending time in the McPherson County jail is quite unpleasant, eventually you will become accustomed to the daily routine. You should expect an alarm to wake up at 6:00AM, and next you’ll have roll call. Then you will eat breakfast. Following breakfast you will 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 Mcpherson 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 Mcpherson 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 at Mcpherson County Jail is always changing, so you should double check the site when you send funds 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.
