Obviously, once you are incarcerated, your main thought is about how to get out. After you’ve been booked, your bail amount will be decided by the magistrate. If there is no bail set this may mean that you will either get released, pending trial, or you have to stay in jail until your trial.

If you do bail out you are required to agree to be in court on your court date, and you are required not to leave town.

Typically, an inmate at Dodge County Detention Facility will earn time off for good behavior if they respect the rules and conduct themselves properly while 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 either have to go back to jail at the end of the day after work, or you could get to move into a halfway house instead of jail, so it is kind of like an early release.

Your bail is the amount of money that you have to pay to the court system in order to be released from jail until your trial. The amount you will be required to pay is determined by what crime you are charged with and how serious it is. Someone you know will need to pay to the courts 10 percent of the total amount set so you are able to get discharged from jail. If you miss your court appearance, whoever paid your bail will lose that money.

To find out how much bail money you will need to bail someone out of jail will need to call the jail or the county courthouse. If you have all the pertinent information, like name, address and date of birth, they will tell you the bail amount. You can also check their bail amount and status on the Dodge County Detention Facility website.

Needing to bail someone out of jail is an unpleasant situation, but most of the time, its really easy. First of all, you need to find out if they have a Cash Only Bond situation. If so, you won’t be able to get a bail bondsman. Take cash only to the jail – the jail can’t take a personal check. When you’ve paid bail, the inmate will be discharged. 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 will need to use a bail bondsman. Bondsmen usually have a fee of 10 to 15 percent of the total amount of bail set, and sometimes charge a minimum fee of $100. This is non-refundable and bondsmen usually only accept cash. If the bail is exceptionally high, the bail bondsman will usually use your personal assets as collateral in addition to the fee they charge.

When you finally post bail, you will be allowed to leave jail. This process takes between 30 minutes to many hours. In simple terms, the quicker bail is posted, the sooner you will get discharged from jail. Also, how fast you get released might depend on whether you have a cash bond amount or if the judge has to determine the bail amount. For a minor offense, you will get booked and get released without having to post bail. When you get to the end of your sentence and know the date of your release, you should plan to be discharged anywhere between the hours of 9am and 12pm.

If the police have a, or if you need to start your sentence, it is highly advisable that you do the right thing and turn yourself in willingly. If it is for a warrant, report to the jail, and let them know that think that there is an outstanding warrant for your arrest. They will check to see if you have a warrant, and if there is one, they will take you into custody. If you have a jail sentence to serve, report at the exact time and date that the sentence order requires you to. Ensure that you aren’t late. Be sure to only bring required items when you go to jail, such as a driver’s license or your ID, any prescription medication you might take, and the sentencing order from court.

In order to have visitors, inmates need to provide the name and date of birth of each visitor to the jail. Your visitors will go into a Visiting log as an approved visitor. All visitors must provide acceptable photo identification when visiting an inmate. Visitors showing up late or that is not an approved visitor will not be allowed to visit the inmate.
Visitation procedures frequently change, so double-check 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 . Calls made in jail are much more expensive than phone calls made outside of jail. Phone calls are restricted on how often you can use the phone, but inmates should keep in mind that a long line can form at the phones, because everyone wants to use the phone, too. If you break the rules and are disciplined, phone privileges might get reduced or totally denied.

The Dodge County court magistrate is the type of judge that will preside on your court case. Magistrates are judges that do different tasks, which include deciding a bail amount, issuing warrants, and acting as the presiding judge over preliminary court proceedings and detention proceedings.

A defendant’s pre-sentencing report is prepared with the defendant’s background information and details of the defendant’s life and history, which the judge will take into consideration when deciding on the sentence. Information will be gathered from the defendant, their family, and if necessary the victim of the crime. Don’t forget you are allowed to ask to see a copy of this report prior to sentencing, and go over it and correct any mistakes in it.

After being convicted of a crime, you will be given a sentence for your crime. The presiding judge in your case will weigh several options when determining your sentence, including community service to probation, to even prison or jail time. Depending on the particulars of your trial, the severity of your crime, and any sentencing guidelines that they judge will use, you could be taken into custody, right there in court, or you might be given a date that you are required to turn yourself into jail to do your time.

Life In Jail / What Its Like

Daily Life

Everyone knows that spending time in the Dodge County jail is something you wish you could avoid, in time you will become accustomed to the daily routine there. Expect an alarm to wake up every morning at six in the morning, and then roll call. Then you will get breakfast. When you finish 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 Dodge County Detention Facility, 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 Dodge County Detention Facility 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 people in jail changes, so it would be best to check the the Dodge County Detention Facility website 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.
