Naturally, if you are arrested and put in jail, your main thought is about when you get out. After you’ve gone through the intake process, your bail will be set using the bail schedule or the magistrate will decide it. In cases where no bail is set this may mean that you will either be released on your ‘own recognizance’ until your court date, or you are kept in jail until your court date.

If you are released you will have to agree to show up for court, and until that day you are not allowed to go out of town.

In most cases, inmates are given an early release in exchange for good behavior if they respect the rules and area a good inmate while incarcerated.

If you follow the rules, you may be granted work release. You will have to go back to jail each day when you’re finished working, or you could be permitted to move into a halfway house instead of jail.

Bail is money that you have to pay to be released from jail until your trial. The amount you will be required to pay is dictated by how serious your crime is. You will need to post 10% of the amount that was set so you are able to get discharged from jail. If you don’t go to your court date, the person that paid your bail will lose that money.

You will need to call the Gila County Jail or the County Courthouse. If know the person’s info, such as name, address and date of birth, they’ll tell you how much their bail is. Also, you can check their bail amount and status online.

Bailing out of jail is no fun, but most of the time, its simple to do if you have the money. To start with, you need to find out if it is a “Cash Bond Only” situation. If so, you will not be able to use a bondsman. Bail can only be paid by cash – they won’t take a personal check. Once the cash bond has been paid, the person will be discharged. If they don’t violate the terms of their bail, you’ll get the bail money back.

If the bail amount is too high, of if you can’t pay it, you should hire a bail bondsman. Bondsmen will generally charge a fee of 10-15% of total bail, and sometimes charge a minimum fee of $100. This money is non-refundable and bondsmen usually only accept cash. If their bail has been set particularly high, the bondsman may use your personal assets as collateral.

• They will take your mugshot.

When you finally post bail, you will be allowed to go home after you get discharged. Getting discharged takes anywhere from 10 minutes to hours or even all day long. So, the faster you can pay your bail, the faster you will be freed. It also can depend on if you’ve been given a bond amount or if the judge needs to decide on the amount of bail to be set. For a minor charge, you will be booked and get released without having to post bail. When you have served out your jail sentence and know the release date, you should expect to get released between 9am and noon.

If you have a, or if you need to start your sentence, it is recommended that you follow the law and turn yourself into the authorities.

Life In Jail / What Its Like

Daily Life

Everyone knows that being incarcerated in the Gila County jail is something you wish you could avoid, in time you will get accustomed to the daily routine there. You should expect a wake-up alarm each morning at 6am, and next you’ll have roll call. You will then eat breakfast. When you finish eating breakfast you will be required 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 Gila 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 Gila 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 money to jail inmates might change, so you should check the official Gila County Jail site when 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.
