A mugshot, also known as a jail intake photo, is the photograph that the police take when you are processed at the jail intake. A mugshot is actually two photos one face photo and one profile photo. Your name and jail booking number will be in the photos, and they will be on file at the jail.

Are you trying to figure out what to do in order to get your mugshot erased from the Adult Detention Center site? This may not be possible, since your mugshot is a matter of public record. To get your mugshot removed you have to file a Petition to Expunge with the court. Basically, this means that your arrest record will 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.

Once you’re incarcerated, your main thought is about when you get out. After booking, your bail amount will be decided by a special judge called a magistrate. If you don’t get a bail set this might 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 are released from jail you are required to agree to show up for court, and until that date you are required not to leave the area.

Typically, a prisoner can earn early release in exchange for good behavior if they don’t break the rules and conduct themselves properly while they’re in jail.

If you prove to be trustworthy, you might be allowed to participate in work release. Either you will have to return to the jail every day when you’re finished at your job, or you could have the chance to sleep in a halfway house instead of jail, so it is kind of like an early release.

Your bail is money that you have to pay in order to be released from jail pending trial. Your bail amount all depends on the seriousness of your charges. You or someone you know will have to put up 10% of the amount set in order for you to bail out of jail. If you miss your court date, whoever posted your bail will lose all of the bail money.

In order to find out how much someone’s bail is, you need to call the jail or the county courthouse. If you’ve got the pertinent information, including name, address and date of birth, they’ll let you know the bail amount. Also, you can find out how much their bail is on the Adult Detention Center site.

Needing to bail someone out of jail is never a fun thing, but usually, it’s easy if you have the money. First, figure out if it is a “Cash Bond Only” situation. If so, you will not be able to get a Bail Bondsman. Take cash only to the jail – the jail will not take a personal check. As soon as you’ve paid the bail bond, the prisoner will be discharged. If the conditions of bail are not violated, you’ll get the bail money back.

If their bail has been set too high, or you can’t afford it, you will need to use a bail bondsman. Bail bondsmen will generally charge a fee of 10-15% of the total bail amount, and usually charge a minimum fee of $100. The amount you pay to the bondsman will not be returned to you and the bondsman only accepts cash. If their bail has been set particularly high, the bail bondsman will in most cases ask to use your personal assets as collateral for the bond in addition to their charges.

The jail intake process includes each of these steps:

• You will get put in a holding cell. If the jail is really busy, you will have to wait a while to get processed.

• They’ll also ask you about your psychological and medical history.
• You will be given an inmate number.
• You will be fingerprinted.
• You will have a front and profile photo taken for your mugshot.
• Any personal property you have will get taken away from you and will be stored until you are released.
• They will let you use the phone in order to talk to a member of your family, friend, or bail bondsman.
• If you are expected to be released quickly, you might get to keep wearing your own clothes, if not you will be given a jail uniform.

When you post bail, you will get discharged from jail. The discharge process takes anywhere between 15 minutes to all day. Or, simply, the quicker bail is posted, the quicker you will get discharged from jail. Also, it will depend on whether you’ve been given a cash bond or if a magistrate needs to determine the bail amount. For a minor charge, you will simply be booked and get released without having to post bail. If you have served a sentence in jail and are given a discharge date, expect to be discharged anywhere between the hours of 9am and 12pm.

If the sheriff has a, or if you have to begin your sentence in jail, it is highly recommended that you follow the rules and turn yourself into the authorities. In the case of an outstanding warrant, go to the jail intake area, and tell an officer that you think there may be an outstanding 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 so, you will be taken into jail custody. If you are reporting to serve out your sentence, report on the date and time that the sentence order requires you to. Be sure that you don’t show up late. Just bring allowed items when you go to jail, like a driver’s license or even state issued ID, any prescription medication you might take, as well as the copy of the sentencing order.

Inmates must list each visitor’s name and date of birth to the jail in advance. Your visitor’s names will go into a Visiting log as an Authorized visit. Each and every visitor has to provide identification. Anyone that arrives for visitation late or that is not on the visitation list will not be allowed to visit the inmate.
Jail visitation policies are always changing, so it would be wise to review the official Adult Detention Center jail site before you 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 . These phone calls are a lot pricier than phone calls made at home. Phone calls are restricted on when you can make phone calls, how long you can talk, and how often you can make calls, but bear in mind that there are a limited number of phones, so all the inmates must share phone time. If you break the jail rules, phone calls may be limited or eliminated altogether.

Phone Number: 703-777-0405

All mail has to be sent via the actual US Postal Service, and not courier or delivery, or hand delivered. You must not use any other type of delivery. Clearly print the prisoner’s name, prisoner number, and the address of the jail on the letter. Don’t send anything in a box or package, envelope with padding, bag, or an envelope with metal inside. All mail that you send to inmates gets opened and read and inspected by the jail officers, and the mail will be returned if it can’t be delivered.

Use this address when sending a letter to an inmate at Adult Detention Center:

Adult Detention Center
42035 Loudoun Center Pl.
Leesburg, VA 20175

Here is how you should address the letter:

[INMATE’S FULL NAME]
[INMATE ID]
Adult Detention Center
42035 Loudoun Center Pl.
Leesburg, VA 20175

The inmate mail policy at Adult Detention Center changes frequently, so we suggest that you check the official website when you send a letter.

Remember that you may be limited to the amount of phone calls you can make, so make sure you have a friend or family member locate a lawyer when you call them.

If you are in trouble, but can’t afford a lawyer, you will be assigned a public defender. Also, the Public Defender Office has a number of staff such as independent investigators, experts in forensics as well as social workers. Public Defenders are licensed lawyers, members of the State Bar and are legally licensed to practice law in Virginia.

Have you ever had to use a court appointed attorney? Are you satisfied with how they handled your case and represented you in court?

Court records are public records and are available upon request. Court records are comprised of a file with a sheet called a docket sheet and every documents filed during your court case. You have the ability to access court records with the internet service, or by going to the Loudoun County Clerk of Court where the case was filed.

The Loudoun County Clerk of Court is an officer of the court who maintains the records. The Clerk of Court also administer the oath for any court participant who must be under oath, and read the verdict when delivered by the jury. All records from your case are kept at Clerk of Court’s office.

The Loudoun County court magistrate is the person who presides over your case. Magistrate judges do a number of different things, which include setting bail, issuing warrants, and acting as the presiding judge over preliminary court proceedings and detention proceedings.

A defendant’s pre-sentencing report is completed with information about your background and information about the defendant’s life and public history, which the magistrate will take into account when determining a sentence. Information will be collected from the person on trial, the defendant’s family, and in some cases the victim. Don’t forget you can ask to receive your own copy of your pre-sentencing report before you are sentenced, and make sure that you correct any mistakes that it contains.

If you get convicted of a crime during your trial, you will be sentenced. The judge will have several different options when sentencing you, ranging from community service and probation, to even incarceration in either jail (short term) or prison (long term). Depending on the severity of the crime, you will either be taken into custody immediately, or you could get a date to go to jail to do your time.

Life In Jail / What Its Like

Daily Life

While the prospect of serving a jail sentence in the Loudoun County jail is very scary, eventually you will settle into the routine that is set for you. You should expect an alarm to wake up at about 6am, and next they’ll do roll call. Next, you will get breakfast. After breakfast, you will be required 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 Adult Detention 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 Adult Detention 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 process for sending money to Adult Detention Center inmates changes, so we suggest that you double check the the Adult Detention Center website when send funds 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.
