Trying to figure out how to get your mugshot removed from the Cache County Jail website? This may not be possible, because your mugshot is a public record. You have to file a Petition to Expunge with the court. This means that the record of your arrest will be sealed, and will not be available to the public. It is difficult to do this, and you will most likely need the services of a lawyer.

Obviously, once you’re arrested and put in jail, your only thought is when and how to get out. After booking, a bail amount is decided by a special judge called a magistrate. If you don’t get a bail set this may mean that you will either be released on your ‘own recognizance’ until your court date, or you don’t get released while you wait for your court date.

If you do bail out of jail you are required to promise to show up for court, and in the meantime you are not permitted to travel out of the county.

In most cases, a prisoner in the Cache County Jail can earn time off in exchange for good behavior when they respect the rules and don’t cause any problems while locked up.

If you follow the rules, you might be allowed to do work release. Either you will have to return to jail each day when you’re finished with work, or you might be permitted to move into a halfway house instead of living at the jail.

Your bail is how much money that you will be required to pay in order to be released from jail until you go to court. Your bail amount depends on the crime you’ve been charged with. You will need to pay to the courts ten percent of the total that was set so you are able to be released from jail. If you fail to show up for your court appearance, the person that bailed you out of jail will lose all of the bail money.

To find out how much bail money you will need to bail someone out of jail have to call the jail. If you’ve got the person’s information, such as name, address and date of birth, they will be able to let you know the bail amount. Also, you can see the bail amount on the Cache County Jail site.

Posting bail to get out of jail is never a fun thing, but thankfully, it’s very simple to do. To start with, you need to find out if they have a “Cash Bond Only”. If this is the case, you won’t be able to use a bondsman. Cash only – the jail can’t accept a check. As soon as you’ve posted (paid) bond, the prisoner will be released. If the conditions of bail are not violated, you’ll get your money back.

If the bail amount is too high, or you just can’t afford it, you should look into the services of a bail bondsman. Bondsmen will usually charge you a fee of 10 to 15 percent of the bail amount, and in most cases have a minimum fee of $100. The money you pay to the bail bondsman will not be returned to you and is typically cash only. If the bail is exceptionally high, the bail bondsman will in these cases ask to use assets as collateral for the bond.

The jail intake process takes you through these steps:

• You will be placed in a waiting area or cell. If the jail is busy, you will have to wait, sometimes for many hours, before you get processed.
• The first step is that you will have to answer some basic questions, such as what your legal name is, your address, birth date and an emergency contact person.
• Also, you will also be asked about your medical and psychological history.
• You’ll be given an inmate ID number.
• Your fingerprints will be taken.
• They will take your mugshot.
• Any property you have will be taken from you and stored until you are released.
• You will be allowed to use the telephone so you can call a member of your family, friend, or bail bondsman.
• If they expect that you will make bail and be released quickly, you might get to skip the jumpsuit and keep wearing your own clothes, if not you will be issued a jail issued jumpsuit.

Have you ever been arrested and gone through processing at jail? If so, please tell your story. How long did you have to wait? How did the guards treat you? Can you tell us things that will help other people that get arrested make it through the procedure?

When you finally post bail, you will be allowed to go home after you get discharged. Getting discharged from jail takes from 15 minutes to all day. In other words the quicker bail is posted, the faster you will get discharged. Also, it might depend on whether you have a bond amount or if the judge must figure out the amount of bail to be set. For a minor offense, you will be booked and released on your own recognizance. When you have served your sentence and are given a date of your release, you should expect to get released at any time that day – but usually in the morning.

out against you, or if you need to report to start a sentence, you really should follow the rules and turn yourself in. In the case of an outstanding warrant, go to the jail reception area, and tell them that you think there is a warrant for your arrest. They will do a record check, and if they verify that you have one, you will be taken into the sheriff’s custody. When reporting to serve a sentence, report to the jail at the exact time and date that the sentence order lists. Make sure that you aren’t late. Make sure that you only bring approved items when you turn yourself in, like a driver’s license or ID, any prescription medication you might take, as well as the copy of the sentencing order.

To have visitors, you must give information about each visitor to the jail. Your visitor’s names will be put in the visitors log as an approved visitor. Every visitor will be required to provide a photo ID when visiting. Anyone arriving late or any visitors that are not approved to visit will be turned away.
Visitation procedures at Cache County Jail frequently change, so it would be wise to double-check the jail site before go to the jail to visit an inmate.

Phone calls that inmates are allowed to make from jail are made through a jail approved pre-paid phone account or phone card .

Inmates are able to make phone calls, with restrictions on 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 you are just one of many people who want to talk to their loved ones. If you break the jail rules, your ability to use the phone may be limited or forbidden completely.

When you get arrested, you still have certain rights, the first of which is that you have the right to request a lawyer. You don’t get to make many phone calls when you get arrested, so it is important to get a friend or family member to find a lawyer when you talk to them. I know you’re probably asking yourself right now ‘why do I need a lawyer?’ You can represent yourself if you really want to, but, a criminal attorney can advise you of your rights, look after your best interests and help you through the complicated court system in your county. The faster you hire an attorney to represent you and work on your case, the better your chances.

For more information about this, read: Find a Lawyer

If you’ve been arrested and don’t have the money to hire an attorney, you will be given a public defender for a lawyer. Also, the Public Defender’s Office has a number of staff such as private investigators, forensics experts as well as case workers. You will be reassured to know that Public Defenders are real attorneys that are admitted to the State Bar and are fully licensed to practice law and represent you in court.

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

Cache County court records are public records and are available upon request. They have a case file with a sheet called a docket sheet and each of the motions, documents, and evidence in your case. You are able to access your court case records with the online service, or at the Cache County Clerk of Court.

A Clerk of Court is an officer and clerk of the court that maintains court records and controls access to them. The Clerk of Court also administer the oath for all court participants, and also read the verdict when the jury makes their final decision. All court records relating to your case are kept and available to you at the Cache County Clerk of Court.

Court costs and court fees are the charges from your case, for example filing charges, motion and claim fees, and court appearance fees. If you are low income and have a Public Defender, you can get a waiver for these fees.

A Magistrate acts as the judge that presides on your court case. They do different tasks, such as setting bail, issuing warrants, and presiding over preliminary court proceedings and detention hearings.

Your pre-sentencing report is prepared to include information about your background and details of the defendant’s life and history, which the judge will review and take into consideration when decide your sentence. Information, details, and character witnesses will be solicited from the person on trial, the defendant’s family, and in some cases the victim in the crime. Bear in mind that you can request to receive a copy of the pre-sentencing report prior to sentencing, so you get the chance to correct any mistakes that it contains.

When you are convicted of a crime, you will then get sentenced. There are several different options for sentencing, ranging from community service and probation, to incarceration in either jail (short term) or prison (long term). Depending on how serious your crime was, you will either be immediately taken into custody, or you might be given a date that you are supposed to surrender and report to jail to do your time.

Life In Jail / What Its Like

Daily Life

Just the thought of being incarcerated in Cache County Jail is very scary, soon you will get used to the daily routine there. You will get an alarm for wake-up at 6am, and next they’ll do roll call. Then you will get breakfast. When you finish eating breakfast participate 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 Cache 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 Cache 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 funds to inmates at Cache County Jail is always changing, so you should double check the official Cache County Jail site before 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.
