If you’re incarcerated, your only thought is about how to get out. After you’ve gone through booking, bail will be decided either through a preset bail schedule or a magistrate. If you don’t get a bail set this might 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 are required to promise to be in court on your court date, and in the meantime you will not be permitted to leave the area.

Typically, an inmate will be given time off in exchange for good behavior when they respect the rules and don’t cause any problems while they’re in jail.

If you follow the rules, you might be given work release detail. You will either have to stay jail each day when you’re finished working, or you might have the chance to sleep in a halfway house when you are not working.

Your bail is money that you have to pay to the court system in order to be released from jail pending trial. The amount of bail that is set is dictated by the crime you’ve been charged with. You will have to post 10 percent of the total amount that was set in order to be released. If you don’t go to your court appearance, the person that paid your bail will lose that money.

In order to find out how much someone’s bail is, you must call the Kanabec County Jail or the County Courthouse. If you’ve got the person’s info, such as name, address and date of birth, they will let you know the bail amount. You can also see the bail amount on the Kanabec County Jail website.

Needing to bail someone out of jail is never fun, but most of the time, it is easy if you have the money. First of all, you have to find out if their bail is a Cash Only Bond situation. If this is the case, you won’t be able to get a bail bondsman. Cash only – they can’t take checks. As soon as you’ve paid the bail bond, the prisoner will be released. If the conditions of bail are not violated, the bail money you posted will be returned to you.

If bail is set too high, or you can’t afford it, you should use a bail bondsman. Bondsmen generally charge a fee of 10-15% of the total amount of bail set by the magistrate, and sometimes charge a minimum fee of $100. This will not be returned to you and bondsmen usually only accept cash. If their bail has been set particularly high, the bail bondsman will in these cases require that they use your assets as collateral for the bond in addition to their charges.

The intake process is made up of these steps:

• You will be placed in a waiting area or cell. If the jail is busy, you will have to wait a while to get processed.
• The first thing you will have to is you will have to answer some basic questions, like what is your legal name, your address, date of birth and a contact person.
• They’ll also ask about your psychological and medical history.
• You will be issued 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 be taken from you and stored until you get released.
• They will allow you to use the telephone so you can get in touch with a family member, friend, or bail bondsman.
• If you are expected to be released shortly, you might be able to keep wearing street clothes, otherwise you will have to change into a jail uniform – the jumpsuit.

When you finally post bail, you will be discharged from jail. This process will take anywhere from 15 minutes to quite a few hours. In other words the quicker you post bail, the sooner you can get released from jail. How quickly you get discharged might depend on whether you’ve got a bond amount or if a judge needs to figure out how much your bail will be. For a minor charge, you will be booked and released on your own recognizance. When you have served your sentence and know the date of your release, you should expect to be discharged that morning.

In the event there is a, or if you must report to start a sentence, you really should follow the law and turn yourself in willingly. In the case of an outstanding warrant, go down to the jail processing area, and tell the intake officer that think that there is a 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 custody. If it is for a jail sentence, report at the exact time and date that the sentence order requires you to. Be very careful that you are not late. Only bring required items when you go, such as your driver’s license or photo ID, prescription medication, and a official sentencing order.

To have visitors, you need to give each visitor’s full name to the jail in advance of any visit. This information will be put into the visitors log for the requesting inmate. All visitors have to provide acceptable photo identification when visiting an inmate. Anyone arriving late or that is not an approved visitor will not be allowed to visit the inmate.
Visitation procedures at Kanabec County Jail change often, so you should review the jail site before go to the jail to visit an inmate.

Phone calls that inmates are allowed to make from jail are collect calls or through a pre-paid phone account. These phone calls are much more expensive than phone calls made at home. There are certain restrictions about how often you can use the phone, but inmates should keep in mind lots of people want to use the phone – so you have to share. If you break the rules, an inmate’s ability to use the phone might get cut back or totally denied.

The Kanabec County Jail phone number is: 320-679-8402

All inmate mail has to be mailed using US Postal Service. You cannot use any other form of mail delivery. You have to write the inmate’s name, prisoner number, and the address of the jail on the letter. Don’t send a box or package, envelope with padding or insulation, bag, or an envelope with metal inside. All mail sent to inmates will be opened and reviewed by the jail officers, and will be returned if deemed inappropriate.

Use this address when sending a letter to someone incarcerated at Kanabec County Jail:

Here is how you should address the letter:

[INMATE’S FULL NAME]

Mora, MN 55051

The Kanabec County Jail mail policy changes, so it would be best to double check the site before send a letter to someone in jail there.

If you need an attorney, but can’t afford an attorney, you will be assigned a public defender. In addition, the Public Defender Office has access to independent investigators, crime scene and forensics experts as well as social workers. All Public Defenders are full-fledged lawyers who are members of the State Bar and are completely licensed to represent you in court and practice law.

Have you or someone you know used a court appointed attorney or Public Defender? Are you satisfied with how they handled your case and represented you in court?

Court records are public and available to anyone who requests them. Court records have a court case file with a docket and each of the documents and motions that have been filed. You can access your court case records via the internet service, or by going to the Clerk of Court.

The Clerk of Court is an official part of the court who manages the records. They also administer the oath for any court participant who must be under oath, and read the jury’s verdict. All records, documents, and evidence from your case are maintained at Clerk of Court.

Court costs and court fees are the charges and fees from your case, such as for example filing fees, motion and claim fees, and court charges. If you can’t afford to pay these fees and have court appointed legal counsel or a Public Defender, you will not be responsible for these fees.

The Kanabec County magistrate is the judge that rules over your case in court. Magistrates do a number of things, such as deciding a bail amount, issuing arrest warrants, and overseeing first court appearances and detention proceedings.

Your pre-sentencing report is put together with information about the defendant’s background and details of the defendant’s life, which the magistrate judge will take into account when determining a sentence. Information will be requested from the defendant, their family, and, if applicable, the victim in the crime. Keep in mind you are allowed to request to receive your own copy of the pre-sentencing report before your sentencing, so you can correct the mistakes.

After being convicted of a crime, you will be given a sentence for your crime. There are several different options for sentencing, including community service 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 may be taken into custody immediately, or you could get a date that you must go to jail to serve your jail time according to your sentence.

Life In Jail / What Its Like

Daily Life

While the prospect of being incarcerated in the Kanabec County jail is something you wish you could avoid, in time you will become accustomed to the daily routine. All inmates get a wake-up alarm every morning at 6:00AM, and next you’ll have roll call. You will then have breakfast. When you finish breakfast you will have 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 Kanabec 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 Kanabec 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 funds to people in jail can change, so it would be best to double check the the Kanabec County Jail website when you send money to an inmate.


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.
