A mugshot, or jail intake picture, is a picture that the jail takes when you are booked into jail. They will take one frontal photo and a side picture. Your name and jail booking number will be on the pictures, and they’re stored at the jail.

Mugshots of Rich County Jail prisoners can be seen online, or you can see them at the Rich County Jail. When you search for mugshots on the website you have to put in the prisoner’s legal name, and an arrest date, if you have it.

Are you trying to have your mugshot removed from the Rich County Jail site? This can be tricky, because your mugshot is public record. To get your mugshot removed you have to file a ‘Petition to Expunge’. Basically, this means that all of your arrest records would be sealed, so no one will be able to access them. Unfortunately, this happens very rarely.

Naturally, if you’re in jail, your primary thought is about when you get out. After you’ve gone through the intake process, your bail will be determined by the magistrate. In cases where no bail is set this can mean that you will either get released, pending trial, or you must remain in jail until your trial.

If you do bail out you must agree to be there for your court date, and in the meantime you must not go out of town.

Typically, a prisoner will earn time off in exchange for good behavior if they don’t break the rules and conduct themselves properly while in jail.

If you follow the rules, you may be granted work release. You will either have to return to jail at the end of the day when you’re finished working, or you may get to move into a halfway house when you are not working.

Your bail is the amount of money that you will be required to pay to be released from jail until your trial. The amount you have to pay all depends on the seriousness of your crime. You will need to put up 10 percent of the total that was determined so you are able to get discharged from jail. If you miss your court appearance, the person that bailed you out of jail won’t get the bail money back.

To find out how much bail money you will need to bail someone out of jail need to call the jail. If know the person’s information, including name, address and date of birth, they’ll tell you what their bail is set at. You can also find out how much their bail is on the jail website.

Having to bail a friend or family member out of jail is never fun, but most of the time, it is very simple to do. To start with, you need to find out if they have a “Cash Bond Only”. If so, you can’t get a Bail Bondsman. Bail can only be paid by cash – they won’t take a personal check. When you’ve paid bail, the inmate will be released. If they don’t violate the terms of their bail, you’ll get your money back.

If the bail amount is too high, of if you can’t pay it, you might need to use a bail bondsman. Bondsmen usually have a fee of 10-15% of the bail amount, and sometimes with a minimum charge of $100. The money you pay to the bail bondsman will not be returned to you and bondsmen usually only accept cash. If the bail is extremely high, the bail bondsman might use your assets as collateral.

The jail intake procedure takes you through each of these steps:

• You will be placed in a holding cell. If there are a lot of arrests, you will have to wait, sometimes for many hours, before you get processed.
• Firstly, you will answer some simple questions, such as what is your full legal name, address, birth date and contact person.
• You will also be asked about your mental and medical history.
• You’ll be given an inmate ID.
• You will be fingerprinted.
• You will get your mugshot taken.
• Any property you have will be taken away from you and stored until you are discharged.
• They will allow you to make a phone call in order to contact a member of your family, friend, or bail bondsman.
• If you think you will get released quickly, you might be able to skip the jumpsuit and keep wearing your own clothes, if not you will be given a jail jumpsuit.

Once bail has been posted, you will be allowed to leave jail. Getting discharged from jail can take between 30 minutes to quite a few hours. Or, simply, the faster you can post bail, the sooner you will be released. How quickly you get discharged depends on if you have a cash bond or if the magistrate has to determine the bail amount. For a minor charge, you will be booked and released on your own recognizance. When you have served your sentence and are given a discharge date, you should plan to be discharged in the morning.

If there is a, or if you have to begin your jail sentence, it is recommended that you follow the law and go down to the jail and turn yourself in. If you have a warrant, go to the jail reception area, and tell them that think that there is a warrant out for your arrest. They will do a record check, and if so, you will be taken into jail custody. When reporting to serve a sentence, report to the jail at the exact time and date that the sentence order or court paperwork states. Be very careful that you don’t show up late. Only bring approved items when you turn yourself in, like your driver’s license or your ID, any prescription medication you might take, and the sentencing order.

To have visitors, you must list each visitor’s name to the jail in advance of any visit. Your visitor’s names will go in the visitors log for the inmate that requested the visitor. All visitors must provide identification. Anyone showing up late or that is not an approved visitor will not be allowed to attend visitation.
Jail visitation policies are always changing, so you should visit the jail site before you go.

The only phone calls that inmates are allowed to make are made through a jail approved pre-paid phone account or phone card . These phone calls are generally pricier 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 you are just one of many people who want to talk to their loved ones. If you are disciplined for an infraction, an inmate’s phone privileges might get cut back or forbidden completely.

Phone Number: (435) 793-2285

If you have been arrested, you still have rights, one of these is that you have the right to request a lawyer. You are only allowed to make so many phone calls in jail, so it is a good idea to ask a friend or family member to locate a lawyer when you call them. You may be thinking ‘do I really need an attorney?’ You are not required to have an attorney for some criminal charges, a criminal attorney will advise you about your rights, protect your interests and guide you through the legal system that you are now faced with. The sooner you get an attorney working on your criminal case, the better.

If you are in trouble, but can’t afford a lawyer, a Public Defender will be assigned to you. The Public Defender’s Office is staffed by investigators, forensics experts as well as social case workers. Public Defenders are licensed lawyers who are admitted to the State Bar and are licensed to practice law as an agent of the court.

Have you or someone you know used a Public Defender? Do you think that they did a good job of defending you?

All court records are public and available to anyone who requests them. They include a file containing a docket and all of the motions, documents, and evidence in the case. You can access your court case records using the website, or at the Clerk’s office of the Court where the case was filed.

A Clerk of Court is an official part of the court who maintains court records. They also administer the oath for all court participants, and read the verdict when decided by the jury. All records related to your case are maintained at the Rich County Clerk of Court.

Court fees and costs are all costs associated with your case, for example filing charges, motion and claim fees, and court appearance fees. If you don’t have the money to pay these fees and have a Public Defender, you may not have to pay the fees.

The Rich County magistrate acts as the judge who presides over your case. Magistrates do a number of different things, like setting your bail amount, issuing warrants, and presiding over preliminary court proceedings and detention proceedings.

A defendant’s pre-sentencing report is prepared with your background information and details of the arrestee’s life history, which the magistrate judge will review and take into account when deciding on the sentence. Information and personal details will be gathered from the person on trial, his or her family members, and if necessary the victim. Remember you are allowed to ask to see a copy of the report before your sentencing, and review it and correct any mistakes.

If you get convicted of a crime during your trial, you will be sentenced. There are a number of different options, ranging from community service, house arrest, and probation, to incarceration in either jail (short term) or prison (long term). Depending on the particulars of your trial, the severity of your crime, and any sentencing guidelines that they judge will use, you may be locked up immediately, or you could get a date that you are required to surrender and report to jail to serve your jail time according to your sentence.

Life In Jail / What Its Like

Daily Life

While the prospect of serving a jail sentence in the Rich County jail is quite unpleasant, in time you will get used to the daily routine. You should expect an alarm for wake-up every morning at 6:00am, and next you’ll have roll call. Next, you will get breakfast. When you finish breakfast participate in the work program or other activity that you are assigned. 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 Rich 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 Rich 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 inmates is likely to change, so you should double check the official Rich County Jail site before you send any funds.


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.
