Naturally, if you’re arrested and put in jail, your primary thought is about when you get out. After you’ve gone through the booking process, your bail is decided 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, or you must remain in jail until your trial.

If you do bail out you will have to agree to show up for court, and in the meantime you are not allowed to leave town.

Typically, an inmate at Furnas County Jail are given time off for good behavior when they don’t break the rules and act right while they are in jail.

If you prove to be trustworthy, you might be given work release detail. You will be required to stay the jail every day after work, or you may get to sleep in a halfway house instead of living at the jail.

Bail is money that you have to pay to be released from jail until you go to court. Your bail amount is determined by how serious your charges are. Someone will have to pay to the courts 10 percent of the total amount set in order for you to be released from jail. If you fail to show up for your scheduled court date, whoever put up your bail money won’t get their money back.

You will have to call the Furnas County Jail or the County Courthouse. If you have all the person’s information, such as name, address and date of birth, they will let you know the bail amount. Also, you can find out how much their bail is on the jail website.

Bailing out of jail is never fun, but usually, it’s easy. First of all, find out if it is a Cash Only Bond. If it is, you will not be able to use the services of a bondsman. Cash only – they can’t accept a check. Once the cash bond has been paid, the prisoner will be released. If the conditions of bail are not violated, you’ll get the bail money back.

If bail is set too high, or you can’t afford it yourself, you should hire a bail bondsman. Bondsmen will generally have a fee of 10-15% of the bail amount, and usually charge a minimum charge of $100. This money is non-refundable and bondsmen usually only accept cash. If the bail is exceptionally high, the bondsman will in most cases ask to use your personal assets as collateral in addition to the fee they charge.

• You will also be asked about your medical and psychological history.
• You’ll be given an inmate ID.
• You will be fingerprinted.
• You will have your mugshot taken.
• Any property you have will get taken away from you and will be stored until you are released.

Life In Jail / What Its Like

Daily Life

Just the thought of getting locked up in Furnas County Jail is very scary, you will soon get used to the daily routine. You will get a wake-up alarm every morning at 6:00 AM, and next they’ll do roll call. Then you will get breakfast. Following 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 Furnas 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 Furnas 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 rules for sending funds to Furnas County Jail inmates might change, so be sure to check the the Furnas County Jail website when 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.
