Naturally, once you are arrested and put in jail, your primary thought is when and how to get out. After you’ve gone through booking, a bail amount will be set either through a preset bail schedule or a magistrate. If there is no bail set this can mean that you will either be free to go until your trial, or you are kept in jail until your court date.

If you are released from jail you will have to promise to be there for your court date, and in the meantime you are required not to leave town.

In most cases, prisoners at Franklin County Law Enforcement And Detention Complex are given time off in exchange for good behavior if they respect the rules and act right while locked up.

If you prove to be trustworthy, you might be allowed to participate in work release. Either you will have to go back to jail every day when you’re finished with work, or you might get to live in a halfway house instead of jail.

Your bail is money that you will be required to pay to be released from jail pending trial. The amount you have to pay is dictated by what crime you are charged with and how serious it is. You will need to pay to the courts ten percent of the total that was determined in order to be released. If you don’t go to your court date, that person will lose that bail money.

In order to find out how much someone’s bail is, you must call the Franklin County Law Enforcement And Detention Complex. If know the pertinent information, such as name, address and date of birth, they will tell you how much their bail is. Also, you can check their bail amount and status online.

Needing to bail someone out of jail is an unpleasant situation, but usually, its very simple to do. First, figure out if they have a “Cash Bond Only” situation. If this is the case, you will not be able to get a Bail Bondsman. They only accept cash at the jail, so you have to take cash – they can’t accept a check. Once the cash bond has been paid, the prisoner will be released to your care. If the conditions of bail are not violated, you’ll get your money back.

If their bail has been set too high, or you can’t afford it yourself, you should try a bail bondsman. They usually have a fee of 10-15% of total bail, and sometimes have a minimum of $100. This money will not be returned to you and is typically cash only. If their bail has been set particularly high, the bondsman will use your personal assets as collateral in addition to the fee they charge.

• You will get put in a holding cell. If the jail is really busy, it will take a while to get processed.
• You must answer some basic questions, such as what your legal name is, street address, birthdate and an emergency contact.
• They’ll also ask you about your medical and psychological history.
• You’ll be given an inmate ID.
• You will be fingerprinted.
• You will get your mugshot taken.
• Any personal property you have will get taken away from you and stored until you get released.
• You will then be allowed to use the phone so you can get in touch with a family member, friend, or bail bondsman.
• If they expect that you will make bail and be released quickly, you might be able to keep wearing your own clothes, but if you are not expected to make bail quickly you will be given a jail uniform.

Have you been arrested and gone through jail intake? If you have, you should share your experience. How long did it take? What was your treatment like? Can you tell us tips that might help other people make it through the process?

Speak Your Mind

Once bail has been posted, you will get discharged from jail. Getting discharged from jail takes anywhere from 15 minutes to all day. So, the quicker bail is posted, the faster you will get discharged from jail. Also, it will depend on whether or not you’ve been given a bond amount or if a magistrate must determine the amount of bail to be set. For minor offenses, you will be booked and released on your own recognizance. When you have served your sentence and have a release date, you should plan to be discharged between 9am and noon.

In the event there is a, or if you must start a jail sentence, it is highly advisable that you follow the rules and turn yourself into the authorities. If you have a warrant, report to the jail intake area, and tell an officer that you think they might have a warrant out for your arrest. They will check their system to see if there are any outstanding local, state or federal arrest warrants out for you, and if you do, you will be taken into the sheriff’s custody. When reporting to serve a sentence, report to the jail at the time and date that the sentence order or court paperwork states. Ensure that you don’t show up late. Only bring necessary items with you, such as your driver’s license or even ID, any prescription medication you might take, and a sentencing order.

To have visitors, you have to list the name and date of birth of each visitor to the jail before anyone can visit them. Your visitor’s information will be put into the visitors log for the requesting inmate. Each visitor is required to provide a photo ID when visiting. Anyone arriving late or that does not have a visitation order will be turned away.
Visitation procedures can change, so you should review the official site before you go to visitation.

The only phone calls that inmates are allowed to make are made through a jail approved pre-paid phone account or phone card . Phone calls made in jail are much more expensive than phone calls made at home. There is no limit to when you can make phone calls, how long you can talk, and how often you can make calls, but you should keep in mind that there are a limited number of phones, so all the inmates must share phone time. If you break the jail rules, your ability to use the phone could be reduced or eliminated completely.

Phone Number: 916-496-2186

All mail has to be sent using the US Postal Service. You cannot use any other form of mail or package delivery. You should write the person’s name, prisoner number, and the jail address on the outside of the letter that you send. Don’t send anything in a box, envelope with padding, plastic bag, or an envelope containing metal parts. All mail received by the jail will be opened and reviewed by the staff, and will be sent back to the person who mailed it if it can’t be delivered.

When you get arrested, you need to be aware that you still have rights, one of these being your right to request a lawyer. Remember that you may be limited to the amount of phone calls you can make, so you would be wise to have a friend or family member find an attorney when you call. You might be thinking ‘do I really need a lawyer?’ You’re not required to have an attorney in all cases, a criminal defense lawyer will advise you about your rights, help protect your interests and show you the way through the criminal justice system. The sooner you get a lawyer involved with your criminal case, the better.

To read more about how to find a lawyer, go to: Find an Attorney

If you’ve been arrested and cannot afford an attorney, the courts will assign you a public defender, which is a free lawyer. In addition, the Public Defender Office has a number of staff such as private investigators, experts in forensics as well as case workers. Public Defenders are licensed lawyers, admitted to the State Bar and are fully licensed to represent you in court and practice law.

Have you or someone you know used a court appointed attorney or Public Defender? What was your experience?

Court records are public and available to anyone who requests them. Court records contain a court case file containing a sheet called a docket sheet and all documents and motions in the case. You can access your court case records with the online service, or by going to the Franklin County Clerk of Court where the case was filed.

The Clerk of Court is an official part of the court who manages the records. The Clerk of Court also administer the oath when court is in session, and read the verdict when the jury makes their final decision. All records associated with your case are maintained at the office of the Clerk of Court.

Court fees and costs are the costs associated with your court case, such as filing charges, motion and claim fees, and court appearance fees. If you can’t afford to pay these fees and have been assigned a Public Defender, you can get a waiver for these fees.

The magistrate acts as the judge who presides over your court case. They do different functions, such as determining how much your bail will be, issuing warrants, and presiding over preliminary court appearances and detention proceedings.

A defendant’s pre-sentencing report is completed with your background information and as much detail about the arrestee’s life and public history, which the magistrate judge will review and take into account when determining a sentence. Information, details, and character witnesses will be collected from the defendant, their family, and in some cases the victim of the crime. Don’t forget that you can ask to get your own copy of this report before sentencing, so you can go over it and correct any mistakes in it.

If you get convicted of a crime during your trial, you will be given a sentence for your crime. There are a number of different options, which include community service and probation, to incarceration in either jail (short term) or prison (long term). Depending on the severity of the crime, you will either be taken into custody, right there in court, or you might be given a date to surrender and report to jail to serve your sentence.

Life In Jail / What Its Like

Daily Life

Just the thought of getting locked up in Franklin County Law Enforcement And Detention Complex is very scary, eventually you will get accustomed to the routine that is set for you. Expect an alarm for wake-up at 6:00 AM, and next they’ll do roll call. Next, you will eat breakfast. After breakfast, you will be required 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 Franklin County Law Enforcement And Detention Complex, 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 Franklin County Law Enforcement And Detention Complex 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 money to inmates could change, so you should visit the official website before you send funds 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.
