Once you’re locked up, your main thought is about when you get out. After booking, bail will be determined either by bail schedule or magistrate. In cases where no bail is set this might mean that you will either get released, pending trial, or you are kept in jail until your court date.

If you are released from jail you are required to agree to be in court on your court date, and you must not leave town.

Typically, inmates will earn time off for good behavior when they follow the rules and area a good inmate while they’re in jail.

If you follow the rules, you may be allowed to do work release. You will be required to stay jail each day when you’re finished working, or you could be permitted to move to a halfway house instead of the jail.

Your bail is the amount of money that you have to pay to the courts in order to be released from jail until your court date. The amount of bail that is set is dictated by the crime you are charged with. Someone you know will need to post ten percent of the total that was set so you are able to bail out of jail. If you don’t go to your court date, whoever put up your bail money won’t get the bail money back.

In order to find out how much someone’s bail is, you need to call the Maries County Jail. If know the pertinent information, like name, address and date of birth, they’ll tell you what their bail is set at. You can also see the bail amount on the Maries County Jail site.

Needing to bail someone out of jail is never a fun thing, but most of the time, its really easy. To start with, figure out if they have a Cash Only Bond situation. If this is the case, you can’t get a Bail Bondsman. Take cash only to the jail – they will not take checks. As soon as you’ve posted (paid) bond, the prisoner will get released. If the conditions of bail are not violated, you’ll get the bail money back.

If bail is set too high, or you just can’t afford to pay it, you should use a bail bondsman. Bondsmen usually have a fee of 10 to 15 percent of the total amount of bail set, and usually charge a minimum fee of $100. The money you pay to the bail bondsman will not be returned to you and bondsmen usually only accept cash. If their bail has been set particularly high, the bondsman may use your assets, such as home, property or cars, as collateral in addition to the fee they charge.

Your pre-sentencing report is prepared with information about your background and as much detail about the defendant’s life and history, which the magistrate will take into account when determining the sentence. Information and personal details will be gathered from the defendant, the defendant’s family, and in some circumstances the victim. Remember that you can request to get a copy of the pre-sentencing report before sentencing, and make sure that you correct any mistakes that it contains.

If you get convicted of a crime during your trial, you will then get sentenced. The presiding judge in your case will weigh several options when determining your sentence, including community service and probation, to even incarceration in jail or prison. Depending on how serious your crime was, you may be taken into custody immediately, or you could get a date that you are supposed to surrender and report to jail to serve out your sentence.

Life In Jail / What Its Like

Daily Life

While the prospect of being incarcerated in the Maries County jail is something you wish you could avoid, soon you will get accustomed to the routine that is set for you. You will get an alarm for wake-up at about 6:00AM, and then roll call. Then you will have 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 Maries 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 Maries 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 funds to someone in jail might change, so we suggest that you review the official Maries County Jail site when you send money to an inmate.


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.
