To get your mugshot taken down you will need to file a ‘Petition to Expunge’. Basically, this means that all of your arrest records will be sealed, so no one will be able to access them. It is difficult to do this, and you will most likely need the services of a lawyer.

Once you’re locked up, your primary thought is about getting out. After you’ve gone through the intake process, bail is determined either by bail schedule or magistrate. If no bail is set this can 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 are released from jail you are required to agree to go to your court date, and until that date you must not leave the county.

In most cases, inmates can earn early release in exchange for good behavior if they respect the rules and act right while in jail.

If you prove to be trustworthy, you may be allowed to do work release. Either you will have to go back to the jail each day when you’re finished with work, or you might get to move into a halfway house instead of living at the jail.

Bail is the amount of money that you have to pay in order to be released from jail until you go to court. The amount you will be required to pay is determined by the seriousness of your charges. Someone will have to pay to the courts ten percent of the total that was set in order to be released from jail. If you don’t go to your court appearance, the person that 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 know the person’s info, such as name, address and date of birth, they will let you know the bail amount. You can also check their bail amount and status on the Tillamook County Jail website.

Having to bail a friend or family member out of jail is an unpleasant situation, but in some cases, its really easy if you have the money. First, figure out if their bail is a Cash Only Bond situation. If this is the case, you will not be able to use the services of a bail bondsman. Take cash only to the jail – the jail won’t take a personal check. Once you have paid the bond, the inmate will be released to your care. If this person doesn’t violate any of the terms of their release, you’ll get your money back.

If bail is set too high, or you can’t afford it, you should look into the services of a bail bondsman. Bondsmen generally charge you a fee of 10 to 15 percent of the total bail amount, and usually have a minimum fee of $100. This is non-refundable and has to be paid in cash. If their bail has been set particularly high, the bail bondsman will usually use your assets, such as home, property or cars, as collateral for the bond in addition to whatever their charges are.

When you finally post bail, you will be allowed to leave jail. Getting discharged from jail can take between 30 minutes to quite a few hours. Or, simply, the faster bail is posted, the faster you will get released. Also, how fast you get released depends on if you have a cash bond or if a magistrate has to figure out how much to set your bail at. For a minor charge, you will simply be booked and released on your own recognizance. When you have served out your jail sentence and have a discharge date, you should expect to get released in the morning.

In the event there is a, or if you must begin your jail sentence, it is highly recommended that you do the right thing and turn yourself in willingly. In the case of an outstanding warrant, go down to the jail intake center, and tell them that you think there is a warrant for your arrest. They will check to see if you have a warrant, and if there is one, you will be taken into custody. When reporting to serve a sentence, report on the date and time that the sentence order states. Be very careful that you don’t show up late. Only bring allowed items when you go, for example your driver’s license or ID, any prescription medication you might take, and the copy of the sentencing order.

In order to have visitors, inmates have to list information about each visitor to the jail before anyone can visit them. This information will be entered in the visitation log as an Authorized visit. All visitors is required to provide identification. Anyone showing up late or any visitors that are not approved to visit will not be allowed to visit the inmate.
The Tillamook County Jail visitation procedures are always changing, so we suggest that you double-check the official Tillamook County Jail jail site before you try to go to visitation.

The only phone calls that inmates are allowed to make are collect calls or through a pre-paid phone account. Jail phone calls are a lot more expensive than regular phone calls. There is no limit to when you can make phone calls, how long you can talk, and how often you can make calls, but inmates must keep in mind that every inmate wants to use the phone too, so they can call their family. If you are under any sort of disciplinary procedure, your ability to use the phone might get reduced or forbidden.

Phone Number: 503-842-3422

All inmate mail must be sent using the actual US Postal Service, and not courier or delivery, or hand delivered. You cannot use any other type of mail or package delivery. You have to write or type the person’s name, prisoner number, and the jail address on the letter. Don’t send a box or package, envelope with padding or insulation, plastic bag, or an envelope containing metal parts. All mail that you send to inmates gets opened and examined and read by the jail staff, and will get returned to the sender if it can’t be delivered.

If you have been arrested, you still have certain rights, one of these is that you have the right to request a lawyer. Remember that you may be limited to the amount of phone calls you can make, so it is a good idea to get a friend or family member to find a lawyer for you. You may be thinking ‘but do I really need an attorney’ While you are not required to have one, an attorney can advise you of your rights, look after your best interests and help you through the court system in your county. The faster you hire a lawyer to represent you and work on your charges, the better your chances.

If you’ve been arrested and don’t have the money to hire a lawyer, a Public Defender will be assigned to you. The Public Defender has a number of staff such as investigators, forensics experts as well as social case workers. You will be reassured to know that Public Defenders are real lawyers who are members of the Oregon State Bar and are legally licensed to practice law as an agent of the court.

Have you ever had to use a Public Defender? Do you think they properly handled your case?

Tillamook County court records are public records and are available upon request. Court records are comprised of a case file containing a docket and all documents in your case. You can access your court records using the website, or by going to the Clerk of Court.

The Clerk of Court is a member of the court who manages access to court records. They also administer the oath in a court case, and also read the verdict when delivered by the jury. All records, documents, and evidence from your case are maintained at the office of the Clerk of Court.

Court fees are the fees and charges from your case, such as for example filing fees, motion fees and various court charges. If you cannot afford these fees and have been assigned a Public Defender, you may not have to pay the fees.

The Tillamook County court magistrate is the judge that will preside over your case. Magistrates do different functions, such as setting bail, issuing warrants, and acting as the presiding judge over preliminary court proceedings and detention hearings.

A defendant’s pre-sentencing report is completed with the defendant’s background information and information about the arrestee’s life, which the magistrate judge will consider when determining a sentence. Information and personal details will be requested from the defendant, the defendant’s family, and in some cases the victim of the crime. Keep in mind that you should ask to have your own copy of your pre-sentencing report before sentencing, so you get the chance to go over it and correct any mistakes in it.

When you are convicted of a crime, you will then get sentenced. There are a number of different options, 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 locked up immediately, or you could get a date to surrender and report to jail to serve your sentence.

Life In Jail / What Its Like

Daily Life

Everyone knows that being incarcerated in the Tillamook County jail is quite unpleasant, soon you will get accustomed to the daily routine there. Expect a wake-up alarm each morning at 6:00am, and then you’ll have roll call. After roll call you will eat breakfast. After breakfast, you will have to work in the work program or other activity that you are assigned. 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 Tillamook 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 Tillamook 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 might change, so be sure to visit the site 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.
