Obviously, once you’re in jail, your primary thought is about getting out. After you’ve been booked, your bail amount will be determined either by bail schedule or magistrate. If no bail is set this can mean that you will either be released on your ‘own recognizance’ until your court date, or you must remain in jail until your trial.

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

In most cases, an inmate in the Davie County Detention Center are given time off for good behavior if they follow the rules and conduct themselves properly while incarcerated.

If you prove to be trustworthy, you might be allowed to do work release. Either you will have to go back to jail at the end of the day when you’re finished at your job, or you may have the chance to move into a halfway house when you are not working.

Your 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 you will be required to pay is determined by how serious your crime is. Someone will have to pay ten percent of the total that was determined so you are able to bail out of jail. If you don’t go to your court date, whoever posted your bail will lose that bail money.

In order to find out how much someone’s bail is, you must call the jail or the county courthouse. If you have all the person’s information, including name, address and date of birth, they’ll tell you how much their bail is. Also, you can see the bail amount on the Davie County Detention Center website.

Posting bail to get out of jail is an unpleasant situation, but in some cases, it’s really easy if you have the money. To start with, find out if their bail is a Cash Only Bond. If this is the case, you won’t be able to use the services of a bondsman. Cash only – they won’t take checks. When you’ve paid bail, the person will be released. 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 generally charge you a fee of 10-15% of total bail, and usually with a minimum charge of $100. The money you pay to the bail bondsman will not be returned to you and bondsmen usually only accept cash. If the bail has been set really high, the bondsman will in these cases require that they use your personal assets as collateral for the bond in addition to whatever their charges are.

Once you are able to post bail, you will be allowed to leave jail. Getting discharged from jail can take from 30 minutes to all day. In other words the faster bail is posted, the sooner you will get discharged from jail. It also will depend on if you’ve got a cash bond or if a judge needs to figure out how much your bail will be. For a minor charge, you will be booked and get released without having to post bail. When you have completed your jail sentence and know the date of your release, you should expect to get released in the morning.

If there is a, or if you have to begin your sentence in jail, you really should follow the law and turn yourself into the authorities. If you have a warrant, go to the jail intake area, and let them know that think that there is a warrant out for your arrest. They will do a record check, and if you do, you will be taken into jail custody. If you have a jail sentence to serve, go down to the jail on the date and time that the sentence order requires you to. Be sure that you don’t show up late. Only bring necessary items with you, like a driver’s license or even your ID, any prescription medication you might take, along with your doctor’s prescription, and the copy of the sentencing order.

To have visitors, you have to provide information about each visitor to the jail in advance of the visit. This information will go into the visitors log for the requesting inmate.

When you’ve been arrested, you still have rights, and an important one is that you have the right to request an attorney. You don’t get to make many phone calls when you get arrested, so it is important to ask a friend or family member to locate an attorney for you. You may be thinking ‘but do I really need an attorney’ You are not required to have an attorney for some criminal charges, an attorney can advise you of your rights, protect your interests and show you the way through the complicated legal system that you are now faced with. The faster you hire a lawyer to represent you and work on your situation, the better your chances.

For more info on this, go to: How to Find an Attorney

If you need an attorney, but can’t afford an attorney, you will be assigned a public defender. The Public Defender Office has a number of staff such as independent investigators, experts in forensics and social workers. All Public Defenders are bona-fide attorneys that are members of the State Bar and are legally licensed to practice law.

Have you ever had to use a court appointed attorney or Public Defender? Do you think that they did a good job of defending you?

Court records are public records and are available upon request. Court records have a court case file with a docket sheet and all motions, documents, and evidence in the case. You can access your court records via the website, or by going to the Clerk’s office of the Court.

The Davidson County Clerk of Court is an official part of the court that maintains the records. They also administer the oath when court is in session, and also read the verdict when the jury makes their final decision. All records and documents from your court case are available at Davidson County Clerk of Court office.

Court fees are all costs associated with your court case, for example filing fees, motion and claim fees, and court charges. If you don’t have the money to pay these fees and have been assigned a Public Defender, you can get a waiver for these fees and won’t have to pay them.

The magistrate acts as the judge that will preside over your case. Magistrates do different tasks, such as determining how much your bail will be, issuing warrants for arrest, and overseeing first court appearances and detention proceedings.

A defendant’s pre-sentencing report is put together with the defendant’s background information and information about the defendant’s life, which the judge will review when determining your sentence. Information will be solicited from the defendant, his or her family members, and in some circumstances the victim in the crime. Be sure to remember that you can ask to get your own copy of the pre-sentencing report before your sentencing, so you have the opportunity to review it and correct any mistakes.

If you get convicted of a crime, 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 will either be locked up immediately, or you could be given a date that you are supposed to surrender and report to jail to serve out your sentence.

Life In Jail / What Its Like

Daily Life

Everyone knows that spending time in the Davidson County jail is something you wish you could avoid, eventually you will get used to the routine that is set for you in jail. Prisoners get a wake-up alarm each morning at 6:00AM, and next they’ll do roll call. Then you will have breakfast. When you finish 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 Davie County 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 Davie County 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 rules for sending funds to someone in jail might change, so double check the official Davie County Detention Center site 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.
