Naturally, if you’re incarcerated, your primary thought is about how to get out. After you’ve gone through the intake process, a bail amount is determined by the magistrate. In cases where no bail is set this might mean that you will either be free to go until your court date, or you have to stay in jail until your trial.

If you do bail out of jail you are required to agree to be there for your court date, and until that date you are not allowed to leave town.

In most cases, inmates are given time off 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 may be granted work release. Either you will have to return to the jail at the end of the day after work, or you may be allowed to sleep in a halfway house instead of jail, so it is kind of like an early release.

Your bail is money that you have to pay in order to be released from jail until you go to court. The amount you will have to pay is dictated by the seriousness of your crime. You will need to put up 10 percent of the total that was set in order for you to be released from jail. If you don’t go to court, the person that bailed you out of jail will lose that money.

To find out someone’s bail amount you have to call the jail or the county courthouse. If know the pertinent information, such as name, address and date of birth, they will be able to let you know the bail amount. You can also find out how much their bail is online.

Bailing out of jail is never a fun thing, but fortunately, it’s easy. First of all, you need to find out if it is a Cash Only Bond situation. If this is the case, you won’t be able to use the services of a bail bondsman. Take cash only to the jail – the jail can’t take checks. As soon as you’ve paid the bail bond, the person will be released to your care. If the conditions of bail are not violated, the bail money you posted will be returned to you.

If the bail amount is too high, or you can’t afford it, you will need to use a bail bondsman. Bondsmen will generally have a fee of 10-15% of the total bail amount, and usually charge a minimum of $100. The money you pay to the bail bondsman is non-refundable and is typically cash only. If the bail has been set really high, the bail bondsman will usually require that they use your assets, such as home, property or cars, as collateral in addition to the fee they charge.

When you finally post bail, you will be allowed to go home after you get discharged. The discharge process can take between 15 minutes to hours or even all day long. In simple terms, the faster bail is posted, the sooner you will get discharged. How quickly you get discharged can depend on whether or not you’ve been given a cash bond or if the magistrate must figure out the bail amount. For a minor charge, you will simply be booked and released on your own recognizance. When you get to the end of your sentence and know the release date, you should expect to be released at any time that day – but usually in the morning.

If there is a, or if you must start a jail sentence, it is highly advisable that you follow the law and turn yourself in. If it is for a warrant, report to the jail intake area, and tell them that you think there is an outstanding arrest warrant out for you. They will do a check to find out if there is an arrest warrant for you, and if you do, you will be taken into the sheriff’s custody. If you are reporting to serve out your sentence, report at the exact time and date that the sentence order or court paperwork states. Be very careful that you aren’t late. Only bring required items when you go to jail, for example your driver’s license or your ID, any prescription medication you might take, as well as the official sentencing order.

In order to have visitors, inmates must list the name and date of birth of each visitor to the jail in advance of the visit. This information will be put into the log for the requesting inmate. Each and every visitor will be required to provide proof of identification. Anyone arriving late or without a visiting order will not be able to attend visitation.
Visitation procedures at Nuckolls County Jail change often, so it would be wise to visit the official site before you go to the jail to visit.

The only phone calls that inmates are allowed to make are with a pre-paid phone card or account, or are collect calls . Phone calls made in jail are generally more expensive than phone calls made at home. There are certain restrictions about when you can make phone calls, how long you can talk, and how often you can make calls, but inmates should keep in mind that every inmate wants to use the phone too, so they can call their family. If you break the rules and are disciplined, an inmate’s phone privileges might get cut back or eliminated altogether.

The sooner you hire a lawyer to represent you and work on your case, the better your chances.

Have you or someone you know had to use the services of a Public Defender? Are you happy with how they handled your case?

All court records are public records. Court records contain a case file with a sheet called a docket sheet and all documents filed during your court case. You can access the records and documents in your court case via the internet service, or at the Nuckolls County Clerk of Court.

Court fees and costs are the fees and charges from your case, for example filing fees, motion and claim fees, and court charges. If you cannot afford these fees and have court appointed legal counsel or a Public Defender, you may not have to pay the fees.

A Magistrate acts as the judge that will preside over your case. Magistrate judges do different tasks, like setting your bail amount, issuing warrants for arrest, and acting as the presiding judge over preliminary court appearances and detention hearings.

A defendant’s pre-sentencing report is put together to include background information and information about the defendant’s life and history, which the magistrate judge will review and take into consideration when determining the sentence. Information, details, and character witnesses will be solicited from the defendant, the defendant’s family, and if necessary the victim of the crime. Remember that you should request to have a copy of the pre-sentencing report prior to sentencing, so you have the opportunity to review it for accuracy and completeness, and correct any mistakes.

After you are convicted of a crime, you will be sentenced. There are a number of different options, ranging from community service and probation, to incarceration in either jail (short term) or prison (long term). Depending on sentencing guidelines and the severity of your crime, you could be immediately taken into custody, or you could get a date that you are required to report to jail to serve your sentence.

Life In Jail / What Its Like

Daily Life

While the prospect of serving a jail sentence in the Nuckolls County jail is something you wish you could avoid, in time you will get accustomed to the daily routine there. You should expect an alarm for wake-up at 6:00AM, and next they’ll do roll call. You will then eat breakfast. When you finish eating breakfast participate 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 Nuckolls 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 Nuckolls 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 people in jail might change, so we suggest that you review the official website before you send money to an inmate 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.
