Mugshots of inmates are online, or you can view them at the Prince William. When you search for mugshots online you will need to enter the full name, and a booking date, if you have it.

Trying to figure out how to get your mugshot removed from the Prince William website? This can be tricky, since your mugshot is public record. You have to file a ‘Petition to Expunge’. What this means is that all of your arrest records 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 are arrested and put in jail, your primary thought is about when and how you will get out. After you’ve gone through booking, your bail amount is decided using the bail schedule or the magistrate will decide it. If no bail is set this may mean that you will either be free to go 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 you are not permitted to leave town.

Usually, inmates in the Prince William will earn early release in exchange for good behavior when they follow the rules and don’t cause any problems while incarcerated.

If you follow the rules, you might be allowed to do work release. Either you will have to go back to the jail every day after work, or you may have the chance to live in a halfway house instead of jail, so it is kind of like an early release.

Bail is the amount of money that you will be required to pay to be released from jail until you go to court. The amount of bail that is set is determined by the seriousness of your crime. Someone you know will need to pay 10% of the amount that was determined so you can get out of jail. If you fail to show up for your scheduled court date, the person that paid your bail won’t get the bail money back.

To find out someone’s bail amount you must call the Prince William or the County Courthouse. If know the person’s information, like name, address and date of birth, they will tell you what their bail is set at. You can also find out how much their bail is on the Prince William website.

Having to bail a friend or family member out of jail is never a fun thing, but usually, it is easy. To start with, find out if they have a “Cash Bond Only”. If it is, you won’t be able to use a bail bondsman. Take cash only to the jail – they won’t accept a personal check. As soon as you’ve posted (paid) bond, the inmate will be released into your care. If they don’t violate the terms of their bail, you’ll get the bail money back.

If the bail amount is too high, or you can’t afford it, you should look into the services of a bail bondsman. Bondsmen will generally have a fee of 10 to 15 percent of the bail amount, and sometimes with a minimum fee of $100. The money you pay to the bail bondsman is non-refundable and bondsmen usually only accept cash. If bail is very large, the bondsman may request to use your personal assets as collateral for the bond.

When you pay your bail, you will get discharged from jail. Getting discharged can take anywhere between 15 minutes to quite a few hours. In other words the quicker you post bail, the faster you can get released from jail. Also, how fast you get released will depend on whether you’ve been given a bond amount or if the magistrate needs to figure out how much your bail will be. 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 release date, plan to get released anywhere between the hours of 9am and 12pm.

In the event there is a, or if you need to start your sentence, it is recommended that you do the right thing and turn yourself in. If it is for a warrant, go to the jail processing area, and let them know that think that there is an outstanding arrest warrant out for you. They will check to see if you have a warrant, and if they find one, you will be taken into jail custody. If it is for a jail sentence, go to the jail on the date and time that the sentence order requires you to. Ensure that you get don’t get there late, or they may decide to arrest you. Only bring things that are allowed when you go, such as your driver’s license or ID, prescription medication, as well as a copy of the sentencing order.

To have visitors, you need to provide each visitor’s name and date of birth to the jail before anyone can visit them.

Bear in mind you are allowed to request to have your own copy of the pre-sentencing report prior to sentencing, and review it for accuracy and completeness, and correct any mistakes.

After you are convicted of a crime, you will then get sentenced. There are several different options for sentencing, including community service and probation, to incarceration in jail or prison.

Life In Jail / What Its Like

Daily Life

While the prospect of serving a jail sentence in the Prince William County jail is very scary, eventually you will get accustomed to the daily routine. You will get an alarm for wake-up every morning at 6am, and next you’ll have roll call. You will then have breakfast. Following breakfast you will work 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 Prince William, 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 Prince William 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 Prince William inmates might change, so check the site before you send any money.


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.
