Trying to figure out how to get your mugshot erased from the Marshall County Jail website? This will be difficult, because the mugshot is a matter of public record. You will need to file a Petition to Expunge with the court. What this means is that the record of your arrest would be sealed, so no one will be able to see them. It is difficult to do this, and you will most likely need the services of a lawyer.

Obviously, once you are incarcerated, your main thought is about how to get out. After booking, bail will be determined by a special judge called a magistrate. In cases where no bail is set this may mean that you will either be released, or you must remain in jail until your trial.

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

Usually, inmates will be given time off for good behavior when they respect the rules and conduct themselves properly while incarcerated.

If you follow the rules, you may be allowed to do work release. You will either have to go back to the jail every day when you’re finished at your job, or you may be allowed to live in a halfway house instead of the jail.

Your bail is money that you have to pay to get out of jail until your court date. The amount you have to pay all depends on how serious your charges are. You will have to post ten percent of the total that was determined so you can be released. If you don’t go to your scheduled court date, whoever posted your bail will lose that money.

To find out someone’s bail amount you will need to call the jail. If you have all the person’s information, including name, address and date of birth, they will let you know the bail amount. Also, you can check their bail amount and status on the Marshall County Jail website.

Posting bail to get out of jail is never fun, but most of the time, it is easy if you have the money. First, you have to find out if it is a “Cash Bond Only”. If so, you will not be able to use the services of a Bail Bondsman. Take cash only to the jail – they can’t accept a check. As soon as you’ve paid the bail bond, the inmate will get released. If this person doesn’t violate any of the terms of their release, you’ll get the bail money back.

If their bail has been set too high, of if you can’t pay it, you should use a bail bondsman. Bondsmen generally charge you a fee of 10 to 15 percent of the bail amount, and usually with a minimum of $100. The money you pay to the bail bondsman will not be returned to you and is typically cash only. If bail is very large, the bail bondsman may use your personal assets as collateral.

The jail intake procedure is made up of each of the following steps:

• You will be placed in a waiting area or cell. If the jail is busy, you will have to wait a while to get processed.
• The first thing you will have to is you must answer a bunch of questions, like your legal name, street address, birthdate and a contact person.
• You will also be asked about your medical and psychological history.
• You will be given an inmate ID.
• You will be fingerprinted.
• You will have a front and profile photo taken for your mugshot.
• All of your personal property will be taken from you and stored until you are discharged.
• They will allow you to use the telephone so you can talk to family, friends, or bail bondsman.

Have you ever been booked into jail? If you have, you should tell us how it happened. How long did you have to wait? How did the guards treat you? Can you share any secrets that might help other people that get arrested to get through jail processing?

Speak Your Mind

When you pay your bail, you will be allowed to leave jail. Getting discharged from jail takes between 15 minutes to all day. Or, simply, the faster you post bail, the faster you can get out of jail. It also might depend on whether you have a cash bond or if a judge has to determine how much your bail will be. For minor charges, you will simply be booked and get released without having to post bail. If you have served a sentence in jail and know the date of your release, plan to get released in the morning.

for your arrest, or if you need to begin your sentence in jail, you really should follow the rules and turn yourself in willingly. If you have a warrant, report to the jail intake area, and let them know that you think there is a warrant out for your arrest. A record check will be run, and if so, they will ask that you surrender yourself and you will be taken into custody. If you are reporting to serve out your sentence, go down to the jail at the exact time and date that the sentence order lists. Be sure that you are not late to report. Make sure that you only bring things that are allowed with you, for example a driver’s license or even ID, prescription medication, as well as the copy of the sentencing order.

The inmate have to list the name and date of birth of each visitor to the jail. This information will go in the visitation log for the inmate that requested the visitor. All visitors will have to provide proof of identification. Anyone that gets to visitation or that is not on the visitation list will be turned away.
Jail visitation policies frequently change, so you should double-check the official Marshall County Jail jail site before you try to go to visitation.

Phone calls that inmates are allowed to make from jail are with a pre-paid phone card or account, or are collect calls . Calls made in jail are typically more expensive than regular phone calls. Phone calls are restricted on when and how often you can use the phone, but inmates must keep in mind that a long line can form at the phones, because everyone wants to use the phone, too. If you break the rules and are disciplined, phone privileges might get cut back or eliminated completely, as part of the punishment.

Life In Jail / What Its Like

Daily Life

Just the thought of getting locked up in Marshall County Jail is quite unpleasant, in time you will get accustomed to the daily routine. Expect an alarm to wake up at six in the morning, and next they’ll do roll call. You will then eat breakfast. Following breakfast participate 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 Marshall 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 Marshall 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 rules for sending money to someone in jail changes, so be sure to double check the site 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.
