Mugshots of Teton County Detention Center inmates are on the website, or you can go in person to the Teton County Detention Center. When you search for mugshots on the website you will have to put in the inmate’s legal name, and the arrest date, if you have it.

Do you want to get your mugshot taken off of the Teton County Detention Center website? This can be tricky, since the mugshot is a public record. To get your mugshot taken down you need to file a Petition to Expunge with the court. What this means is that the record of your arrest would be sealed, and will not be available to the public. It is difficult to do this, and you will most likely need the services of a lawyer.

Once you’re in jail, your primary thought is about how to get out. After you’ve gone through the intake process, a bail amount is set either through a preset bail schedule or a magistrate. In cases where no bail is set this may mean that you will either be free to go until your trial, or you don’t get released while you wait for your court date.

If you are released from jail you will have to agree to go to your court date, and until then you will not be permitted to leave town.

In most cases, inmates will earn early release in exchange for good behavior if they don’t break the rules and act right while locked up.

If you follow the rules, you might be given work release detail. Either you will have to return to jail at the end of the day when you’re finished with work, or you might get to move into a halfway house instead of jail, so it is kind of like an early release.

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 have to pay is determined by how serious your charges are. You will have to put up 10 percent of the total amount that was set in order to be released. If you don’t show up for your scheduled court date, whoever put up your bail money won’t get the bail money back.

To find out how much bail money you will need to bail someone out of jail must call the Teton County Detention Center or the County Courthouse. If you’ve got the pertinent information, including name, address and date of birth, they will be able to let you know the bail amount. Also, you can see the bail amount on the Teton County Detention Center website.

Having to bail a friend or family member out of jail is never fun, but fortunately, it is simple to do if you have the money. To start with, figure out if they have a “Cash Bond Only”. If it is, you won’t be able to get a bondsman. They only accept cash at the jail, so you have to take cash – the jail will not accept a check. Once the cash bond has been paid, the person will get released. If they don’t violate the terms of their bail, the bail money you posted will be returned to you.

If the bail amount is too high, or you can’t afford it, you should use a bail bondsman. Bondsmen usually charge a fee of 10 to 15 percent of total bail, and usually charge 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 bail is very large, the bail bondsman will in most cases request to use your assets as collateral for the bond in addition to whatever their charges are.

The intake procedure is made up of each of these steps:

• You will be placed in a holding cell. If there are a lot of arrests, you will have to wait, sometimes for many hours, before you get processed.
• You must answer some questions, such as what is your full legal name, your address, birth date and a contact person.
• You will also be asked about your medical and psychological history.
• You will be given an inmate number.
• Your fingerprints will be taken.
• They will take your mugshot.
• Any personal property you have will be taken away from you and stored until you get discharged from jail.
• They will allow you to make a phone call so you can contact a member of your family, friend, or bondsman to arrange bail.
• If they expect that you will make bail and be released quickly, you might get to wear your street clothes, but if you are not expected to make bail quickly you will be issued a jail uniform.

Once you are able to post bail, you will get released from jail. Getting discharged from jail takes between 15 minutes to quite a few hours. Or, simply, the faster bail is posted, the sooner you can get released from jail. It also can depend on if you have a bond amount or if a magistrate must determine the amount of bail to be set. For minor offenses, you will simply be booked and get released without having to post bail. If you have served a sentence in jail and are given a release date, you should expect to be released between 9am and noon.

out against you, or if you must report to start a sentence, it is highly advisable that you follow the rules and go down to the jail and turn yourself in. If it is for a warrant, go down to the jail intake center, and let them know that you think they might have a warrant out 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 they verify that you have one, they will ask that you surrender yourself and you will be taken into custody. When reporting to serve a sentence, go down to the jail on the date and time that the sentence order states. Be very careful that you get don’t get there late, or they may decide to arrest you. Only bring necessary items when you go, for example a driver’s license or even your ID, any prescription medication you might take, along with your doctor’s prescription, as well as the official sentencing order.

The inmate need to list each visitor’s name and date of birth to the jail in advance. Your visitors will be put into a log of approved visitors as an Authorized visit. Each visitor will have to provide a photo ID when visiting. Anyone arriving late or without a visiting order will be turned away.
The Teton County Detention Center visitation procedures can change, so it would be wise to check the jail site before you visit an inmate.

The only phone calls that inmates are allowed to make are collect calls or through a pre-paid phone account. Jail phone calls are typically more expensive than phone calls made outside of jail. Phone calls are restricted on when you can make phone calls, how long you can talk, and how often you can make calls, but inmates should keep in mind that there are a limited number of phones, so all the inmates must share phone time. If you break the rules and are disciplined, your ability to use the phone may be limited or eliminated completely.

The Teton County Detention Center phone number is: 307-733-2141

Any mail that you send to an inmate must be sent via US Postal Service. You must not use any other method of delivery.

If you have been arrested, you have certain rights, and an important one 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 locate an attorney when you call. I know you’re probably asking yourself right now ‘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 can advise you of your rights, help protect your interests and help you navigate through the criminal justice system in your county. The quicker you get a lawyer involved with your charges, the better.

If you are in trouble, but can’t afford a lawyer, you will be given a public defender for a lawyer. The Public Defender is staffed by investigators, experts in forensics as well as case workers. Public Defenders are bona-fide attorneys, admitted to the State Bar and are licensed to practice law and represent you in court.

Have you or someone you know had to use a Public Defender or court appointed attorney? What was your experience?

Court records are public and available to anyone who requests them. They contain a case file with a docket and all of the motions, documents, and evidence filed in the course of your case. You, and anyone else, can access the records and documents in your court case with the website, or at the Clerk of Court’s office.

A Clerk of Court is a member of the court that manages the records. They also administer the oath when court is in session, and read the court verdict when the jury has finished deliberations. All records and documents associated with your case are maintained at Teton County Clerk of Court office.

Court fees are the costs associated with your case, for example filing fees, motion fees and various court charges. If you can’t afford to pay these fees and have been assigned a Public Defender, you may not have to pay the fees.

The Teton County magistrate is the person that presides on your case in court. Magistrate judges do different functions, like determining how much your bail will be, writing arrest warrants, and overseeing preliminary court appearances and detention proceedings.

A pre-sentencing report is put together to include information about the defendant’s background and details of the defendant’s life, which the magistrate judge will review and take into account when determining a sentence. Information will be solicited from the person on trial, his or her family, and, if applicable, the victim of the crime. Remember you are allowed to request to have your own copy of this report before sentencing, so you have the opportunity to correct the mistakes.

After being convicted of a crime, you will then get sentenced. The judge will have several different options when sentencing you, ranging from community service and probation, to even incarceration in jail or prison. Depending on sentencing guidelines and the severity of your crime, you might get taken into custody, right there in court, or you could receive a date that you are required to turn yourself into jail to serve out your sentence.

Life In Jail / What Its Like

Daily Life

Everyone knows that spending time in Teton County Detention Center is no fun, soon you will settle into the daily routine there. Inmates get an alarm to wake up at six in the morning, and then roll call. Next, you will eat breakfast. When you finish eating breakfast you will have to work 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 Teton 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 Teton 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 money to people in jail changes, so be sure to visit the the Teton County Detention Center website when send money 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.
