A mugshot, or jail processing photo, is a photo taken by the police when you are booked into jail. A mugshot is actually two photos one full face and a side photo. Your name and jail booking number will be in the pictures, and they’re on file at the jail.

Mugshots of Stutsman County Correctional Center prisoners can be viewed online, or you can go in person to the Stutsman County Correctional Center. When you search for mugshots online you have to input the prisoner’s full name, and an arrest date.

Need to know how to have your mugshot taken down from the Stutsman County Correctional Center website? This may not be possible, because your mugshot is public record. You have to file a ‘Petition to Expunge’. Basically, this means that your arrest record would be sealed, and will not be accessible. Depending on your situation, this may be a longshot.

Of course, once you’re in jail, your only thought is about how to get out. After you’ve gone through booking, your bail amount is determined 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 have to stay in jail until your trial.

If you do bail out you must agree to go to your court date, and until that date you will not be permitted to leave the county.

In most cases, an inmate can earn time off for good behavior if they follow the rules and area a good inmate while in jail.

If you prove to be trustworthy, you may be allowed to do work release. Either you will have to return to jail each day when you’re finished at your job, or you could be allowed to move into a halfway house instead of the jail.

Your bail is the amount of money that you have to pay to the court system to be released from jail until you go to court. The amount you have to pay is determined by what crime you are charged with and how serious it is. You or someone you know will have to pay ten percent of the total set so you are able to bail out of jail. If you don’t go to your court date, whoever put up your bail money will lose all of the bail money.

To find out someone’s bail amount you will have to call the Stutsman County Correctional Center. If you have all the person’s information, like name, address and date of birth, they will tell you what their bail is set at. You can also find out how much their bail is on the Stutsman County Correctional Center site.

Having to get someone out of jail is no fun, but fortunately, its very simple to do. 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. They only accept cash at the jail, so you have to take cash – they won’t take a personal check. As soon as you’ve posted (paid) bond, the inmate will be discharged. 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 just can’t afford it, you should look into the services of a bail bondsman. Bondsmen usually charge a fee of 10 to 15 percent of the total bail amount, and in most cases have a minimum of $100. The amount you pay to the bondsman will not be returned to you and bondsmen usually only accept cash. If their bail has been set particularly high, the bondsman will in these cases use your personal assets as collateral for the bond.

The jail intake process takes you through the following steps:

• You will be placed in a waiting area or cell. When the jail is busy, you will have to wait a while to get processed.

• Also, you will also be asked about your medical and mental history.
• You will be given an inmate ID number.
• Your fingerprints will be taken.
• You will have your mugshot taken.
• All of your personal property will be taken away from you and stored until you get discharged from jail.
• They will let you make a phone call to contact family, friends, or bail bondsman.
• If you are expected to be released shortly, you might be able to wear your own clothes, but if you are not expected to make bail quickly you will be given a jail uniform.

Once you are able to post bail, you will get discharged from jail. Getting discharged from jail will take anywhere from 15 minutes to quite a few hours. So, the faster you post bail, the faster you will get discharged. Also, how fast you get released might depend on whether you’ve got a bond amount or if the magistrate still needs to determine how much to set your bail at. For a minor offense, you will be booked and released on your own recognizance. If you have served a sentence in jail and have a discharge date, you should plan to get released in the morning.

In the event there is a, or if you need to report to start a sentence, you really should do the right thing and go down to the jail and turn yourself in. For a warrant, report to the jail processing area, and tell them that you think there is a warrant 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 there is one, they will ask that you surrender yourself and you will be taken into custody. If you are reporting to serve out your sentence, go to the jail at the time and date that the sentence order or court paperwork states. Ensure that you are not late. Be sure to only bring necessary items with you, for example your driver’s license or even state issued ID, prescription medication, and a copy of the sentencing order.

Inmates have to list each visitor’s name and date of birth to the jail in advance of the visit. Your visitors will be put in a log of visitors for the inmate. Every visitor must provide acceptable photo identification. Anyone that arrives for visitation late or any visitors that are not approved to visit will not be allowed to visit the inmate.
Jail visitation policies frequently change, so we suggest that you double-check the official Stutsman County Correctional Center jail site before you go.

Phone calls that inmates are allowed to make from jail are collect calls or through a pre-paid phone account. Phone calls made in jail are generally pricier than phone calls made outside of jail. There is no limit to how often you can use the phone, but bear in mind that there are a limited number of phones, so all the inmates must share phone time. If you break the rules, an inmate’s phone privileges might get cut back or eliminated altogether.

The Stutsman County Correctional Center phone number is: (701) 252-7436

Any mail that you send to an inmate must be sent using US Postal Service. You shouldn’t use any other method of mail delivery. Clearly write or type the prisoner’s name, inmate ID number, and the address of the jail on the letter. Do not send a package or box, padded envelope, plastic bag, or an envelope with metal inside. All mail received by the jail will be opened and examined and read by the officers at the jail, and the mail will get returned if deemed inappropriate.

Use this address when sending a letter to someone incarcerated at Stutsman County Correctional Center:

Stutsman County Correctional Center

Jamestown, ND 58401

Here is how you should address the letter:

[INMATE’S FULL NAME]
[INMATE ID]

When you get arrested, you need to be aware that you still have rights, one of these is your right to request a lawyer. You don’t get to make many phone calls when you get arrested, so it is a good idea to get a friend or family member to locate an attorney when you call them.

Life In Jail / What Its Like

Daily Life

Just the thought of spending time in the Stutsman County jail is no fun, in time you will become accustomed to the routine that is set for you in jail. You should expect an alarm to wake up at about 6am, and then roll call. Then you will have breakfast. When you finish eating breakfast you will have to 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 Stutsman County Correctional Center, 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 Stutsman County Correctional Center 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 rules for sending funds to someone in jail at Stutsman County Correctional Center might change, so we suggest that you visit the site when you send any money.


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.
