Are you trying to figure out what to do in order to have your mugshot erased from the Webster City Jail site? This is difficult, since the mugshot is a matter of public record. You have to file a Petition to Expunge with the court. This means that your arrest record 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.

Obviously, once you are arrested and put in jail, your main thought is about how to get out. After booking, bail is determined either through a preset bail schedule or a magistrate. If there is no bail set this may mean that you will either be released, or you must remain in jail until your trial.

If you are released you will have to agree to be in court on your court date, and until that date you will not be permitted to leave the county.

Usually, inmates are given early release in exchange for good behavior if they follow the rules and conduct themselves properly while in jail.

If you do exhibit good behavior and the jail believes you can be trusted, you might be given work release detail. You will either have to go back to jail each day when you’re finished with work, or you might be permitted to move into a halfway house instead of the jail.

Your bail is how much money that you have to pay to get out of jail until you go to court. The amount of bail that is set depends on what crime you are charged with and how serious it is. You will need to pay to the courts 10 percent of the total that was determined so you are able to get out of jail. If you don’t show up for your court appearance, the person that bailed you out of jail will lose that bail money.

You need to call the Webster City Jail or the County Courthouse. If you’ve got the person’s info, including name, address and date of birth, they’ll tell you what their bail is set at. Also, you can see the bail amount on the jail website.

Posting bail to get out of jail is no fun, but thankfully, it’s very simple to do. First, find out if their bail is a Cash Only Bond. If it is, you will not be able to use the services of a bondsman. Bail can only be paid by cash – they won’t accept a personal check. When you’ve paid bail, the inmate will get released. If they don’t violate the terms of their bail, you’ll get your money back.

If bail is set too high, or you just can’t afford it, you should try a bail bondsman. Bail bondsmen generally have a fee of 10-15% of the total bail amount, and usually charge a minimum fee of $100. The amount you pay to the bondsman is non-refundable and must be paid in cash. If the bail has been set really high, the bail bondsman will in most cases require that they use your personal assets as collateral for the bond.

Once bail has been posted, you will be allowed to leave jail. Getting discharged from jail takes from 10 minutes to all day long. Or, simply, the quicker you post bail, the sooner you will get discharged. Also, it can depend on whether or not you’ve been given a cash bond or if the magistrate still needs to determine how much to set your bail at.

Just bring necessary items when you turn yourself in, like your driver’s license or your ID, prescription medication, as well as the sentencing order from court.

Life In Jail / What Its Like

Daily Life

Just the thought of getting locked up in the Webster (City) jail is very scary, you will soon become accustomed to the routine that is set for you in jail. You will get an alarm to wake up at about 6am, and next you’ll have roll call. Next, you will 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 Webster City 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 Webster City 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 procedure to send money to someone in jail at Webster City Jail can change, so review the site before you send funds to an inmate 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.
