Of course, if you’re in jail, your main thought is about how to get out. After booking, your bail amount will be determined either by bail schedule or magistrate. If no bail is set this might mean that you will either be released, or you don’t get released while you wait for your court date.

If you are released you are required to promise to show up for court, and you are required not to leave town.

Usually, an inmate are given time off for good behavior when they follow the rules and don’t cause any problems while in jail.

If you prove to be trustworthy, you might be given work release detail. You will have to stay the jail at the end of the day when you’re finished with work, or you could have the chance to move into a halfway house instead of the jail.

Bail is money that you have to pay in order to be released from jail until your court date. Your bail amount depends on how serious your crime is. Someone you know will need to pay to the courts 10% of the amount set in order for you to be released from jail. If you don’t show up for court, whoever put up your bail money will lose that money.

To find out someone’s bail amount you will have to call the Collier County Jail or the County Courthouse. If know the pertinent information, such as name, address and date of birth, they’ll be able to let you know how much their bail is. Also, you can see the bail amount on the Collier County Jail site.

Having to get someone out of jail is no fun, but in some cases, it’s very simple to do. First, find out if they have a “Cash Bond Only” situation. If it is, you will not be able to use the services of a Bail Bondsman. Take cash only to the jail – the jail can’t take checks. As soon as you’ve posted (paid) bond, the person will be released into your care. If this person doesn’t violate any of the terms of their release, the bail money you posted will be returned to you.

If their bail has been set too high, of if you can’t pay it, you will need to use a bail bondsman. Bondsmen will generally charge a fee of 10-15% of the total amount of bail set by the magistrate, and sometimes with a minimum charge of $100. The amount you pay to the bondsman is non-refundable and is typically cash only. If their bail has been set particularly high, the bail bondsman will request to use assets as collateral.

Or, simply, the faster you post bail, the sooner you will get discharged from jail.

For minor offenses, you will get booked and get released without having to post bail. When you have completed your jail sentence and are given a release date, you should expect to get discharged in the morning.

If you have a, or if you need to start a jail sentence, it is highly advisable that you follow the rules and turn yourself in. For a warrant, go down to the jail reception area, and tell the intake officer that you think there is an outstanding arrest warrant out for you. The officer will verify that you have an outstanding arrest warrant, and if they verify that you have one, they will take you into custody. If it is for a jail sentence, report on the date and time that the sentence order or court paperwork states. Ensure that you don’t show up late. Just bring approved items with you, for example your driver’s license or ID, any prescription medication you might take, as well as the copy of the sentencing order.

A Magistrate is the type of judge that presides over your case in court. Magistrates are judges that do a number of different things, such as setting bail, issuing warrants, and overseeing first court appearances and detention proceedings.

A defendant’s pre-sentencing report is completed with information about the arrestee’s background and information about the arrestee’s life, which the magistrate will review and take into consideration when deciding on the sentence. Information will be requested from the defendant, his or her family members, and in some circumstances the victim of the crime. Be sure to remember you can ask to have a copy of the report before you are sentenced, so you have the opportunity to review it and correct any mistakes.

After you are convicted of a crime, you will then get sentenced. There are several different options for sentencing, ranging from community service to probation, to incarceration in either jail (short term) or prison (long term). Depending on how serious your crime was, you could be locked up immediately, or you could receive a date that you must report to jail to serve your jail time according to your sentence.

Life In Jail / What Its Like

Daily Life

While the prospect of getting locked up in the Collier County jail is very scary, eventually you will become accustomed to the daily routine there. Expect an alarm for wake-up each morning at 6am, and then you’ll have roll call. After roll call you will eat breakfast. Following breakfast you will 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 Collier 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 Collier 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 procedure to send money to jail inmates might change, so be sure to visit the site when you send any money.


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.
