A mugshot, also known as a booking photo, is the picture that the jail takes when you get processed at jail intake. A mugshot is actually two photos one full face and a profile picture. Your full name and booking number will be on the photos, and they will be on file at the jail.

Mugshots can be searched on the Nez Perce County Adult Detention Center website, or you can view them at the Nez Perce County Adult Detention Center. When viewing online you have to enter the person’s full name, and the booking date, if you have one.

Trying to figure out how to have your mugshot taken down from the Nez Perce County Adult Detention Center website? This can be tricky, as the mugshot is public record. To get your mugshot removed you need to file a Petition to Expunge in court. This means that the record of your arrest would be sealed, so no one will be able to see them. Unfortunately, this happens very rarely.

Of course, if you’re in jail, your primary thought is when and how to get out. After you’ve gone through the intake process, a bail amount will be determined by the magistrate. In cases where no bail is set this may mean that you will either get released, pending trial, or you are kept in jail until your court date.

If you do bail out you will have to promise to show up for court, and until that date you must not leave the county.

Typically, prisoners in the Nez Perce County Adult Detention Center are given time off in exchange for good behavior if they respect the rules and area a good inmate while they’re in jail.

If you follow the rules, you may be allowed to participate in a work release program. Either you will have to go back to the jail at the end of the day when you’re finished at your job, or you may be permitted to move into a halfway house instead of jail.

Your bail is how much money that you will be required to pay in order to be released from jail pending trial. Your bail amount all depends on the seriousness of your charges. You will have to pay to the courts ten percent of the total that was set before you can get discharged from jail. If you miss court, whoever paid your bail won’t get the bail money back.

In order to find out how much someone’s bail is, you need to call the Nez Perce County Adult Detention Center or the County Courthouse. If know the person’s information, including name, address and date of birth, they will let you know the bail amount. You can also check their bail amount and status online.

Posting bail to get out of jail is never fun, but usually, its easy. First of all, find out if their bail is a “Cash Bond Only”. If so, you can’t get a bondsman. Cash only – the jail will not accept a check. Once the cash bond has been paid, the inmate will be released into your care. If they don’t violate the terms of their bail, you will get this money back.

If the bail amount is too high, or you just don’t have the money, you should try to hire a bail bondsman. Bondsmen will usually charge you a fee of 10-15% of the total amount of bail set, and in most cases with a minimum fee of $100. The amount you pay to the bondsman will not be returned to you and must be paid in cash. If the bail has been set really high, the bail bondsman might request to use your assets, such as home, property or cars, as collateral for the bond in addition to their charges.

The jail intake procedure takes you through these steps:

• You will be placed in a holding cell. If there are a lot of arrests, you may not be processed immediately.
• The first thing you will have to is you must answer a number of questions, such as what is your full name, home address, birthdate and contact person.
• They’ll also ask you about your medical and psychological history.
• You’ll be given an inmate ID.
• You will get fingerprinted.
• You will have your mugshot taken.
• All personal property will get taken away from you and stored until you are released.
• They will allow you to use the telephone to call a family member, friend, or bail bondsman.
• If they expect that you will make bail and be released quickly, you might be able to keep wearing your own clothes, but if you are not expected to make bail quickly you will have to wear a jumpsuit.

Have you ever been arrested and gone through the jail intake procedure? If so, please tell our readers about your experience. How long did it take to get processed? Were you treated fairly? Do you have any tips that could help other people to get through jail intake?

When you finally post bail, you will get discharged from jail. Getting discharged may take anywhere between 15 minutes to all day. Or, simply, the faster you post bail, the sooner you will get discharged from jail. Also, it depends on whether you’ve got a bond amount or if a judge has to determine the bail amount. For minor charges, you will simply be booked and then released on your recognizance without having to pay bail. When you have completed your jail sentence and have a date of your release, plan to get released in the morning.

warrant out for your arrest, or if you need to begin your jail sentence, you should follow the rules and turn yourself in willingly. If you have a warrant, go down to the jail, and tell an officer that believe that there could be a warrant out for your arrest. They will check to see if you have a warrant, and if they verify that you have one, they will take you into custody and begin the intake process. If you are reporting to serve out your sentence, go to the jail at the time and date that the sentence order or court paperwork states. Ensure that you are not late. Make sure that you only bring things that are allowed when you go to jail, such as a driver’s license or even state issued ID, any prescription medication you might take, along with your doctor’s prescription, as well as a copy of the sentencing order.

To have visitors, you must list information about each visitor to the jail. Your visitor’s information will be put into the visitors log as an approved visitor. Each and every visitor will have to provide acceptable photo identification when visiting an inmate. Any visitors showing up late or that is not an approved visitor will not be allowed to attend visitation.
Visitation procedures can change, so it would be wise to visit the official jail site before you go to visitation.

All phone calls from jail are with a pre-paid phone card or account, or are collect calls . Jail phone calls are typically more expensive than phone calls made outside of jail. There are certain restrictions about when and 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, an inmate’s ability to use the phone may be limited or eliminated completely, as part of the punishment.

Phone Number: 208-799-3132

Any mail that you send to an inmate has to be mailed using the actual US Postal Service, and not courier or delivery, or hand delivered. You can’t use any other type of delivery. You have to clearly write the person’s name, prisoner number, and the jail address on the letter. Do not mail a box, padded envelope, plastic bag, or an envelope with metal in it. All mail sent to inmates gets opened and reviewed by the staff, and the mail will be sent back if it can’t be delivered.

Use this address when sending a letter to someone incarcerated at Nez Perce County Adult Detention Center:

Nez Perce County Adult Detention Center
1150 Wall Street
Lewiston, ID 83501

Here is how you should address the letter:

[INMATE’S FULL NAME]
[INMATE ID]
Nez Perce County Adult Detention Center
1150 Wall Street
Lewiston, ID 83501

The Nez Perce County Adult Detention Center mail policy changes frequently, so we suggest that you check the official Nez Perce County Adult Detention Center site before send a letter to someone in jail there.

Even if you’ve been arrested, you have certain rights, one of these being your right to request an attorney. You are only allowed to make so many phone calls in jail, so you would be wise to get a friend or relative to locate an attorney for you. You may be thinking ‘I don’t have to get a lawyer – I can just represent myself’ You can represent yourself if you really want to, but, a criminal defense lawyer will advise you about your rights, protect your interests and help you understand the complicated court system. The faster you hire a lawyer to represent you and work on your criminal case, the better.

To read more about how to find an attorney, read our guide: How to Find an Attorney in Nez Perce County

If you cannot afford an attorney, you will be given a public defender for a lawyer. Also, the Public Defender is staffed by investigators, experts in forensics as well as social case workers. All Public Defenders are real attorneys who are members of the Idaho State Bar and are fully licensed to represent you in court and practice law.

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

Court records are public and available to anyone who requests them. They contain a case file containing a docket sheet and all of the documents filed during your court case. You have the ability to access court records via the online service, or at the Clerk of Court.

A Clerk of Court is an officer of the court who maintains the records. They also administer the oath for all court participants, and also read the verdict when decided by the jury. All records and documents relating to your case are available at Clerk of Court’s office.

Court costs and court fees are the fees and charges from your case, which include filing charges, motion and claim fees, and court appearance fees. If you are low income and have been assigned a Public Defender, you may not have to pay the fees.

The magistrate is the judge that will preside over your court case. Magistrates do several different things, like setting bail, issuing warrants for arrest, and acting as the presiding judge over preliminary court proceedings and detention hearings.

Your pre-sentencing report is put together to include information about the defendant’s background and information about the arrestee’s life and history, which the judge will take into consideration when determining your sentence. Information and personal details will be gathered from the person on trial, his or her family, and in some circumstances the victim. Keep in mind that you should ask to receive a copy of the report before sentencing, and correct any mistakes that it contains.

If you get convicted of a crime during your trial, you will be sentenced. The presiding judge in your case will weigh several options when determining your sentence, which include community service, house arrest, and probation, to even incarceration in either jail (short term) or prison (long term). Depending on sentencing guidelines and the severity of your crime, you might get locked up immediately, or given a date to turn yourself into jail to serve your jail term according to your sentence.

Life In Jail / What Its Like

Daily Life

While the prospect of being incarcerated in Nez Perce County Adult Detention Center is something you wish you could avoid, you will soon get used to the daily routine there. Prisoners get a wake-up alarm each morning at six in the morning, and then roll call. You will then 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 Nez Perce County 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 Nez Perce County 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 procedure to send funds to people in jail changes, so you should review the official 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.
