Obviously, once you are in jail, your only thought is when and how to get out. After you’ve been booked, your bail will be set either by bail schedule or magistrate. If no bail is set this might mean that you will either get released, pending trial, or you don’t get released while you wait for your court date.

If you are released you will have to agree to go to your court date, and until that day you are not permitted to travel out of the county.

Usually, inmates in the King And Queen County Jail will earn early release in exchange for good behavior if they follow the rules and don’t cause any problems while they’re in jail.

If you do exhibit good behavior and the jail believes you can be trusted, you may be allowed to do work release. You will be required to go back to the jail every day after work, or you might be permitted to move into a halfway house instead of jail.

Bail is how much money that you have to pay to the courts to get out of jail until your trial. The amount you will be required to pay is dictated by the seriousness of your crime. Someone you know will need to pay to the courts 10% of the amount that was set in order to be released. If you miss your court appearance, that person will lose that bail money.

To find out how much bail money you will need to bail someone out of jail must call the jail or the county courthouse. If you’ve got the person’s info, including name, address and date of birth, they will tell you the bail amount. Also, you can see the bail amount on the King And Queen County Jail website.

Having to bail a friend or family member out of jail is never a fun thing, but usually, it is simple to do if you have the money. To start with, find out if it is a “Cash Bond Only”. If it is, you won’t be able to get a Bail Bondsman. Take cash only to the jail – they won’t take a personal check. Once you have paid the bond, the person will be released into your care. If they don’t violate the terms of their bail, you’ll get the bail money back.

If their bail has been set too high, or you can’t afford it, you should try to hire a bail bondsman. They generally charge a fee of 10-15% of the total amount of bail set, and sometimes have a minimum of $100. The amount you pay to the bondsman will not be returned to you and is typically cash only. If the bail has been set really high, the bondsman may require that they use your assets, such as home, property or cars, as collateral for the bond in addition to whatever their charges are.

The intake procedure takes you through these steps:

• They’ll put you in a holding cell. If the jail is really busy, it will take a while to get processed.

• You will also be asked about your medical and psychological history.
• You will be given an inmate ID number.
• Your fingerprints will be taken.
• You will have a front and profile photo taken for your mugshot.
• Any property you have will get taken away from you and stored until you are discharged.
• You will get to make a telephone call so you can talk to a family member, 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, otherwise you will have to change into a jail issued jumpsuit.

Once you are able to post bail, you will be allowed to leave jail. Getting discharged from jail takes between 15 minutes to hours or even all day long. In simple terms, the faster you can pay your bail, the sooner you will be freed. Also, it depends on whether or not you’ve been given a bond amount or if the magistrate still needs to figure out the bail amount. For a minor charge, you will be booked and then released on your recognizance without having to pay bail. If you have served a sentence in jail and have a discharge date, expect to get discharged anywhere between the hours of 9am and 12pm.

If you have a, or if you must start your sentence, it is recommended that you do the right thing and go down to the jail and turn yourself in. For a warrant, go down to the jail processing area, and tell them that believe that there could be a warrant out for your arrest. The officer will verify that you have an outstanding arrest warrant, and if there is one, you will be taken into custody. When reporting to serve a sentence, report at the time and date that the sentence order states. Ensure that you don’t show up late. Only bring required items when you go to jail, for example your driver’s license or even your ID, prescription medication, as well as the copy of the sentencing order.

Inmates must list information about each visitor to the jail in advance. Your visitors will be put in a Visiting log as an Authorized visit. All visitors will be required to provide identification. Anyone arriving late or that does not have a visitation order will not be allowed to visit the inmate.
Visitation procedures are always changing, so make sure that you review the jail site before you go to the jail to visit.

All phone calls from jail are collect calls or through a pre-paid phone account. Calls made in jail are generally more expensive than phone calls made at home. There are certain restrictions about when you can make phone calls, how long you can talk, and how often you can make calls, but inmates should keep in mind that you are just one of many people who want to talk to their loved ones. If you break the rules, an inmate’s phone privileges could be reduced or eliminated completely.

Life In Jail / What Its Like

Daily Life

Everyone knows that serving a jail sentence in King And Queen County Jail is quite unpleasant, in time you will settle into the daily routine there. All inmates get a wake-up alarm each morning at 6:00 AM, and then you’ll have roll call. After roll call you will eat breakfast. When you finish eating 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 King And Queen 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 King And Queen 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 money to jail inmates might change, so review the official website when you send money 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.
