A mugshot, or jail processing photo, is the photo that the jail takes during jail intake processing. A mugshot is made up of one full face photo and a side picture. Your full name and booking number will be on the mugshot, and they are kept on file.

Mugshots of Pershing County Jail prisoners can be found on the website, or you can view them at the Pershing County Jail. When viewing online you have to put in the person’s legal name, and a booking date, if you know it.

Want to have your mugshot taken off of the Pershing County Jail website? This will be difficult, since the mugshot is public record. To get your mugshot taken down you have to file a Petition to Expunge in court. What this means is that the record of your arrest would be sealed, and will not be available to the public. Depending on your situation, this may be a longshot.

Of course, once you’re arrested and put in jail, your main thought is about when you get out. After you’ve gone through the booking process, your bail amount is decided using the bail schedule or the magistrate will decide it. If no bail is set this may mean that you will either be free to go until your court date, or you must remain in jail until your trial.

If you are released you will have to agree to be there for your court date, and you are not permitted to leave town.

Usually, inmates will be given early release in exchange for good behavior when they don’t break the rules and conduct themselves properly while they are in jail.

If you prove to be trustworthy, you might be given work release detail. Either you will have to stay the jail every day when you’re finished with work, or you might be permitted to sleep in a halfway house when you are not working.

Your bail is how much money that you have to pay to the court system to be released from jail until your trial. The amount of bail that is set depends on how serious your charges are. You will need to pay to the courts 10% of the amount that was determined before you can be released. If you don’t show up for court, the person that paid your bail will lose that money.

To find out someone’s bail amount you must call the Pershing County Jail or the County Courthouse. If you have all the pertinent information, including name, address and date of birth, they will be able to let you know the bail amount. Also, you can check their bail amount and status on the jail website.

Needing to bail someone out of jail is an unpleasant situation, but usually, it’s simple to do if you have the money. First, you have to find out if their bail is a Cash Only Bond situation. If it is, you will not be able to use the services of a bondsman. Cash only – the jail will not take a check. Once the cash bond has been paid, the person will be discharged. If this person doesn’t violate any of the terms of their release, the bail money you posted will be returned to you.

If their bail has been set too high, or you just can’t afford it, you should try to hire a bail bondsman. Bondsmen will generally charge a fee of 10-15% of the bail amount, and sometimes charge a minimum charge of $100. The amount you pay to the bondsman will not be returned to you and has to be paid in cash. If bail is very large, the bondsman might request to use your assets, such as home, property or cars, as collateral.

Life In Jail / What Its Like

Daily Life

While the prospect of serving a jail sentence in Pershing County Jail is quite unpleasant, soon you will get accustomed to the daily routine. All inmates get an alarm to wake up every morning at six in the morning, and then roll call. Next, you will eat breakfast. After breakfast, you will 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 Pershing 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 Pershing 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 people in jail is always changing, so you should visit the official website 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.
