A mugshot, also known as a intake photo, is the picture taken by the police when you are booked into jail. A mugshot is actually two photos one frontal photo and a profile picture. Your full name and booking number will be on the mugshot, and they are stored.

Mugshots of people who have been arrested can be seen on the Uinta County Detention Center website, or you can view them at the Uinta County Detention Center. When you search for mugshots on the website you will need to put in the prisoner’s legal name, and an arrest date.

Do you want to get your mugshot erased from the Uinta County Detention Center site? This will be difficult, since the mugshot is a public record.

Naturally, once you’re incarcerated, your primary thought is about getting out. After you’ve gone through the booking process, your bail amount will be decided by a special judge called a magistrate. If no bail is set this might mean that you will either be free to go until your court date, or you must remain in jail until your trial.

If you are released from jail you are required to agree to be there for your court date, and until then you can’t travel out of the county.

Typically, an inmate in the Uinta County Detention Center can earn early release in exchange for good behavior if they follow the rules and act right while locked up.

If you prove to be trustworthy, you might be allowed to do work release. You will have to stay jail each day when you’re finished working, or you may be allowed to move to a halfway house when you are not working.

Bail is money that you will be required to pay in order to be released from jail until your trial. The amount you will be required to pay depends on what crime you are charged with and how serious it is. Someone will have to pay to the courts 10% of the amount set before you can get out of jail. If you don’t go to court, whoever posted your bail will not get their money back.

To find out someone’s bail amount you must call the Uinta County Detention Center or the County Courthouse. If you’ve got the person’s info, including name, address and date of birth, they will let you know the bail amount. Also, you can check their bail amount and status on the jail website.

Having to bail someone out of jail is never a fun thing, but in some cases, it’s simple to do if you have the money. First of all, you need to find out if they have a Cash Only Bond situation. If so, you can’t get a bondsman. Bail can only be paid by cash – the jail will not take checks. When you’ve paid bail, the inmate will be discharged. If they don’t violate the terms of their bail, you will get this money back.

If their bail has been set too high, of if you can’t pay it, you will need to use a bail bondsman. They will generally charge you a fee of 10 to 15 percent of the total amount of bail set by the magistrate, and in most cases with a minimum fee of $100. The amount you pay to the bondsman will not be returned to you and bondsmen usually only accept cash. If bail is very large, the bondsman might use assets as collateral for the bond.

The intake procedure is made up of each of these steps:

• You will also be asked about your psychological and medical history.
• You will be given an inmate ID.
• You will get fingerprinted.
• You will have your mugshot taken.
• All of your personal property will be taken from you and stored until you get discharged from jail.
• You will get to make a phone call so you can get in touch with a member of your family, friend, or bondsman to arrange bail.
• If they expect that you will make bail and be released quickly, you might be allowed to wear your own clothes, if not you will be given a jail uniform.

When you post bail, you will get released from jail. Getting discharged from jail will take from 15 minutes to all day long. In other words the quicker you post bail, the quicker you can get out of jail. How quickly you get discharged can depend on if you have a cash bond or if a judge must determine the bail amount. For a minor offense, you will simply be booked and released on your own recognizance. If you have served a sentence in jail and have a date of your release, expect to get released anywhere between the hours of 9am and 12pm.

If you have a, or if you have to report to start a sentence, you really should follow the rules and turn yourself in willingly. If it is for a warrant, report to the jail processing area, and tell an officer that you think there is a warrant for your arrest. They will do a record check, and if they find one, you will be taken into the sheriff’s custody. When reporting to serve a sentence, report at the time and date that the sentence order requires you to. Make sure that you are not late to report. Make sure that you only bring things that are allowed when you turn yourself in, for example a driver’s license or ID, any prescription medication you might take, along with your doctor’s prescription, as well as the copy of the sentencing order.

The inmate must give the name and date of birth of each visitor to the jail in advance of the visit. Your visitor’s information will be put into a log of approved visitors as an approved visitor. Each and every visitor will have to provide acceptable photo identification when visiting an inmate. Anyone that arrives for visitation late or without a visiting order will not be able to attend visitation.
The Uinta County Detention Center visitation procedures can change, so it would be wise to double-check the official site before you visit an inmate.

All phone calls from jail are collect calls or through a pre-paid phone account. These phone calls are a lot more expensive than regular phone calls. There are certain restrictions about how often you can use the phone, but inmates should keep in mind that every inmate wants to use the phone too, so they can call their family. If you break the rules, an inmate’s phone privileges might get cut back or eliminated altogether.

The Uinta County Detention Center phone number is: (307) 783-1027

All mall sent to inmates has to be mailed using US Postal Service. You shouldn’t use any other form of delivery.

Any mail sent to inmates gets opened and inspected and read by the jail staff, and the mail will get sent back to the person who mailed it if deemed inappropriate.

When you get arrested, you have particular rights, the most important of which is the right to request an attorney. You don’t get to make many phone calls when you get arrested, so you would be wise to get a friend or family member to find a lawyer for you. You may be thinking ‘I don’t have to get a lawyer – I can just represent myself’ You’re not required to have an attorney in all cases, a criminal defense attorney will make sure you know your rights, protect your interests and help you find your way through the court system that you are now faced with. The quicker you hire an attorney to represent you and work on your situation, the better off you’ll be.

If you cannot afford an attorney, a Public Defender will be assigned to you. In addition, the Public Defender’s Office is staffed by investigators, experts in forensics and social case workers. Public Defenders are full-fledged attorneys that are members of the Wyoming State Bar and are licensed to practice law and represent you in court.

Have you ever had to use a Public Defender? How did they do?

Unita County court records are public and available to anyone who requests them. They are comprised of a file with a docket and all documents and motions in your case. You have the ability to access your court records with the website, or by going to the Unita County Clerk of Court where the case was filed.

The Unita County Clerk of Court is an officer of the court that manages court records. The Clerk of Court also administer the oath when court is in session, and also read the verdict when delivered by the jury. All records associated with your case are kept and available to you at the Unita County Clerk of Court.

Court fees are all costs associated with your court case, for example filing fees, motion and claim fees, and court charges. If you cannot afford these fees and have a Public Defender, you may not have to pay the fees.

The magistrate is the person who presides over your case in court. They do different functions, like determining how much your bail will be, issuing arrest warrants, and presiding over preliminary court proceedings and detention proceedings.

Your pre-sentencing report is prepared to include background information and information about the defendant’s life history, which the magistrate judge will consider when determining the sentence. Information, details, and character witnesses will be requested from the person on trial, his or her family members, and, if applicable, the victim in the crime. Keep in mind you are able to request to receive a copy of this report before sentencing, so you get the chance to correct any mistakes that it contains.

If you get convicted of a crime during your trial, you will be given a sentence for your crime. The judge will have several different options when sentencing you, which include community service to probation, to even incarceration in jail or prison. Depending on how serious your crime was, you may be locked up immediately, or you might be given a date to report to jail to serve your term.

• Name.
• Date of birth.

If you’re not sure if this person is in jail or not, you can call the jail to find out.

If you think you might have an outstanding warrant, you can check court records online or call the jail directly. This requires a first and last name. Or, you can just go down to the jail and ask the officer in charge. You should be clear that if there is an arrest warrant out for you, you will be taken into custody immediately.

If you know the person’s first and last name, and their arrest date, contact the Unita County jail, on the phone, go there in person, or find out online. Arrest records are in the public record and the information is accessible to anyone.

Civil processes are when someone has been served with papers, such as a court order. You can find these by contacting the Unita County Sheriff’s office, online or by phone.

All registered sex offenders have to be registered on either a national or state sex offender database. Those listed on these databases have been convicted in a court of law of a sex or kidnapping crime. You can access these offenders online, but remember that you will not see the street address, but only the neighborhood block that they live on.

Court Records are public records. These records include a court case file that includes a docket sheet and all documents and filings filed in the court case. You can access your court records via the internet service ‘Public Access to Court Electronic Records’, or at Clerk of Court office in the county where the case was filed.

Each and every state maintains a record of their state citizen’s criminal past. These state databases are linked together so you are able to track criminal backgrounds from any other state. Go to county courthouse and check in person, or you can check online. It helps to know the county, and in the event that the crime was in a different state entirely, you might have to pay a fee for a more complete search.

A criminal history search you will find out if someone has been arrested, charged, or convicted for any crimes they may have committed, which could include:

• DUI.
• Drug offenses.
• Kidnapping.
• Rape or other sexual assault.

• Speeding.
• Drivers license revoked or suspended.
• Any accidents.
• Other moving violations.
• Parking Tickets.

Life In Jail / What Its Like

Daily Life

Everyone knows that serving a jail sentence in the Unita County jail is quite unpleasant, soon you will get used to the daily routine. You will get an alarm to wake up at about 6:00AM, and next they’ll do roll call. Next, you will get 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 Uinta County Detention Center, 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 Uinta County Detention Center 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 inmates at Uinta County Detention Center is always changing, so we suggest that you double check the the Uinta County Detention Center website 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.
